    Ok first impression?

    Its a mega nerf...

    ....not even by a small amount either... starting with DoTs... you wont' be able to stack Bio and Bio2 because they upgrade into one another if I read that right... so you'll only get one or the other... So only one Bio and one Miasma will stack. IF I read that right... and yes, that's a mega nerf.

    No Miasma II... so no 5th stacked DoT...


    BANE: On top of... what I read as no more Stacked Bio and Bio II... BANE also got a mega nerf... -20% potency per target... so it may be questionable as to whether you even use BANE anymore at this point its that weak. Its bad, if it actually reads the way I think.

    Fester: (Formerly 100 potency per DoT stacked on it)... now 150 potency for one effect, 200 for both... if I read that right it means... a total nerf from 300 potency to 200 potency... outchie

    Ruin 3: (Formerly 200 potency) now down to 150 potency... another mega nerf.

    All I can say at this point is... whatever they gave us from level 60-70 better be really F'n good... or this class will likely no longer be competitive at all with the others... unless they all got mega nerfed like this...

    But so far... yeah this job won't even be remotely competitive anymore...

    That's some serious nerfing... At this point, barring some seriously powerful stuff at 60th-70th... this class will likely not be worth it to play anymore.

    Even in danger to trigger a new freakout I'll comment this...

    You are right at first it seems that nearly every dmg skill got a pot-nerf in raw-numbers but you oversee all the proc-buff-combinations, there are perm buffs which raise your overall dmg by 30% at least 2 buffs to raise different DoT pot and like I said in my post above a more or less clean line throughout the ruin-part of your rota which buffs and procs itself if you use them in a certain order. --> just looking at the raw-pot numbers might be a mistake... we will see ^^

    Last time I felt this violated was when I'd been promised 2 new egi's for over a year (one specifically named 2nd by description), found out we got jack, was promised a glamour system to try and calm us down which then didn't happen for another year and a half.

    Summoner getting boned? Sounds like it's expansion time again, that 2 years went by fast, thanks for bringing back the memories Yoshi. You really shouldn't have...

    Oh but hey, I guess Bahamut looks cool, shame the entire class is useless for the sake of a cool graphic.
