[Divebombs]

Are there any plans to make balance changes to the new classes, particularly MCH and when can we expect to see them?

[HeavenlyArmed]

When gear purchasable with Allagan Tomestones of Esoterics becomes available, will it be upgradeable? And furthermore, will it be comparable stat-wise with gear from Alexander Savage?

[HeavenlyArmed]

Many people seem to be performing overly well on Warrior. Is the job performing better damage-wise than you planned, and are there any plans to bring its damage in line with the other tanks?

[HeavenlyArmed]

Many people have noticed tanks are able to do higher damage in ideal scenarios than Bards and Machinists. Are there any plans to address this, or are we just not seeing Bard and Machinist being played at an optimal level as of yet?

Edit: No longer relevant after 3.01, please ignore.

[HeavenlyArmed]

Bismarck weapons are a lower item level than the far easier to obtain upgrades for weapons purchased with Allagan Tomestones of Law. Why was this done, and are there any plans to change this?

[Argonar]

Are there any plans to change the requirement of Light Party in the Company Workshop?

[Argonar]

Right now Bard (and seems like Machinist too) is not able to do a competent DPS, even lower than some Warriors, which is causing trouble finding party for trials like Bismarck Extreme, or even getting kicked from it.

Are there any plans to fix this soon? If so, you could detail the changes?

[Argonar]

With the new changes in the Bard job, the gameplay has undergone a drastic change from 2.0, mainly the inability to move while shooting under Minuet song, required to use almost all the new skills in 3.0. That song also cancels the autoattack, which has a major impact on the DPS of the bards.

There are plans to change this?

Also, I would like to know if "Rain of Death" will be as it was before the expansion, because right now has had a negative impact when we AoE attack as no longer "proc" after Wide Volley.

[HeavenlyArmed]

Can you please tell us where we can expect the new job specific gear, aka AF2, to come from?
