I hear rants in most other forum sectors that their jobs are nerfed, can't hit for shit or mp costs are generally too high. Gladiators, archers, mages etc.

Now, I only have pug at a higher level but I feel massively boosted compared to before the patch. Sure, I have less HP, but my defense seem to have improved and my accuracy for sure. Then there's second wind potency, counters on "misses" rather than "Evades" and my general evasion towards enemies just feels better.

I did some toto-rak raping on my ~40 pug and before the patch I almost got killed when I tried to train. Now the mobs can barely work my hp down before second wind is ready.

Am I feeling extreme placebo effects or does someone else see this as well?
