Thank you for (job changes): Thank them!

My trigger finger is ready to kick.

You're no fun.

You're no fun.

I'm not. I don't put up with nonsense in DF.

We need to remember that they DO listen.

We have our bard and mch change
PvP change
And Summoner change. Heading in the right direction

Let's not forget that.

All I can say...is I am overwhelmed with joy at seeing Wanderer's Minuet demoted to cooldown status. That...thing has been the bane of my existence since level 52. And it nearly caused me to quit the game, it certainly was one of the factors making Heavensward one of my least liked...if not hated expansions for any MMO.

But now...it's gone...and Bard is free to frolic and dps again. I might actually be hyped for Stormblood now. All hail our lord and savior, Yoshi-P!

I don't think any real MCHs had an issue with the cast time. It was the bads who complained and got heard.

member Bard use to not have a cast time before... they pretty much brought them back to how they were in 1.0... machinist never really experienced such a change... so they dont know... but they will come 4.0 ^^

I wonder if Bards and Machinists are gonna get hacked at the knees in their DPS in exchange for being able to run around again. If so, I'll be strongly considering going Red Mage on my alt Machinist.

I hope MCH/BRD aren't apex predators in DPS anymore, especially with our changes to mobility (Moreso to Bard- MCH was always really mobile). We need to be toned down in that regard.

Honestly, I agree since they're getting mobility back. It was okay when you had to stand and cast but it's kinda busted to do that much damage and run around all over the place with ranged attacks that have no directional input. It's the reason they got the lower end of DPS in 2.0 in the first place.

They will balance it by giving us a lot of close range attacks like the flame thrower (so that you either sacrifice damage by being mobile and away or put yourself in danger by being close to boss but increase damage). For bard who knows....they probably have to sing more to keep damage up (just having to sing is a sacrifice to begin with). They already sing but with the new flute and all the singing in the trailer it probably means they have to sing more to have good damage. I've never played bard so I'm making general observations.

So both mch and bard in 4.0 are balanced because of those 2 sacrifices.

I'm so glad Monk finally has an aggro cut after lacking one for so long, I'm glad that it can cross class Goad, and I'm glad that it will be able to buff the party's damage.

They really fixed every problem it had.
