Which classes do you think need adjustments?

[AkashiXI]

I do believe Bard is not scaling properly, and they're getting further behind all jobs as each progression patch comes out. They mainly need a WD modifier patch (or increase their WD up), or bring back their original potency. Their numbers are okay this patch, but it's only getting worse.

WAR- Parry traits/buff. I know they mentioned they wanna do this. Parry should proc extremely often, 1 in 3 or one in 5 chance. Or force internal hit counter so 1 in every x hits is parried, for a forced minimum % of hits blocked. Foresight trait, damage parried is absorbed as HP. full amount. 1k hit - parried for 10%, war gets 100 hp back.

BRD- stable footing. toggles like cleric stance. 10-15% movement speed reduction when active. Increases DPS.(flat %, CRIT rate, or something fancy like auto-attacks have 30-50% chance to double-attack).

If they were gonna buff brd dps, and I had my choice of how, I'd want them to (and this is probably the only time I'll ever say this) borrow from FFXI and bring back the "sweet spot." Straight damage boost is boring. Give us damage only if we're actively keeping the right distance away to upkeep it

[Akiza]

Summoner definitely needs an adjustment. Despite having no utility in Raids the Summoner's Damage is slightly higher or equal to Bards with the same ilvl. Summoner's dps should be significantly higher than the Black Mage because Black Mage's have three utility moves that are useful Manawall, Apocatastasis and Aetherial Maniplulatin. Also Black Mage is Single Target and AoE King. What utility does Summoner have that warrants such weak dps a useless battle resurrection which if Summoner's have to use during a Raid means it's time to wipe.

If Virus and Eye for an Eye are not utility, then are they? Summoner does have issues which could be looked into, but saying they have no utility, while in paragraph as mentioning Resurrection is just nutters.

Ignore Azika. They are basically shunned by most of the SMN community.

I do think however SMN are in a not-so-good spot at the moment. Many of the fights are basically dummy fights with constant uptime, their 'good' DPS rotation drains mana super fast, and their utility isnt very useful in many of the fights.

E4E and Virus are good, but the healers can handle that. Not to mention BLM gets both as well.

Battlerez should be done by the healers who actually have the piety to do it, as SMN has the lowest mana pool in the game with no way aside from crafted gear to augment it.

Finally we have a massive amount of required spell speed on our gear this patch, wth SE?

I find it funny you would say that about Akiza yet say exactly what she conveyed about SMNs.

I simple buff to Piety for SMN would fix the MP issues, just 500 more MP would give another 200 MP/minute in battle on top of the extra 500 before you run dry. Of course, then SMN would be asking for more spell speed.

SMN will never ask for spell speed, if anything we will ask for less.

To elaborate: Our DoTs are not affected by spell speed, they will always tick every 3 seconds for the same amount of damage.
Festers are not affected by spell speed, they are limited by the one minute aetherflow cooldowns.
Shadowflare is not affected by spell speed.
Our Pets are not affected by our spell speed.

The only spell which spell speed 'improves' is Ruin. All it does is give us 1-2 extra Ruin casts. This is bad because Ruin is our absolute worst spell that we only use when we cant be doing something better.

Oh and spell speed causes us to OOM faster. Not good.

That was the point, give SMN enough MP that there is no OOM issue, and they will ask for more spell speed to get those extra ruins in.
