It would have to be time-restricted buffs to single players with weak non-tangible group buffs.


problem with this is the idea that raid content should be balanced around group content in FFXIV.

I'm sorry but when available gear to non raiders is 40-50 ilvls above the dungeons requirements. They should not be considered when balancing. So what is their spells are broken as fuck in group content. Having ilvl 120 gear is broken as fk in group content.

Not attacking you but you're just restating what they have said. But the simple fact is they suck at balancing their game anyway so who cares.
