Thread: The Current Status of FFXIV Patch 3.1 and How to Address it Moving Forward

Liked mostly of it, but I would like to know more about crafting and that Specialization thing. I'm doing alts to cover Specialization for every job, so I would like to know more what 3.2 will do to Specialization. Guess I'll have to wait for it.

I wouldn't be surprised if they attempt a rebalancing again in 4.0, but that's probably 15 or 16 months off from now.

I have the mind with you in this too. I was wise to get my alts to cover all Specialization jobs, preparing for more balances in future updates. Until 4.0 I'll have caped all jobs and fully mastered it. Let it come!
