We definitely need a Puppetmaster Job in this game!

Yeah, like they patched out Titan tanking Ramuh.

This game needs at some point to start getting complicated.

They did that because it excluded Tanks. I thought it was cool but yeah...that's probably why.
Also, game won't be complicated, jobs like Puppeteers won't ever get anywhere.
They try to make this game so simple, they watered down jobs to a degree.
SE doesn't want players confused or stressing them out...Treatin' us like moron's is what I'm seeing.

But did it really? Were tanks unable to get in any party? I imagine Tanks were still more in demand than say, BLM.

Even at the height of the chicken nugget tanking craze a PLD would get an easier party invite than a DRG would before, during or after.


Pre 2.1 there were SMN speed-runs of Wanderer's Palace. Didn't need any tanks or healers. That didn't result in any buffs/nerfs.

/they were fun, too.

You're trying too hard to ignore the fact that people were using Titan to bypass a mechanic of the fight itself. That's why they had to do what they needed to do with it. Yes, people were excluding tanks because WAR and PLD could not ignore Ramuh's mechanics. What the devs simply did is nip it in the bud before people started getting too used to pulling things like that, as innaction in such a situation would lead to bigger problems. It's small scale compared to Utsusemi tanking and Reckoning Bomb, but that does not exclude it from being dealt with.
