Help I've been Nerfed and can't get my damage back up :(

It's a quality of life update.

Lots of spells and potencies for BLM have been buffed in damage to account for losing out on Raging Strikes.

It's not a quality update. We (fiance and I) have put MONTHS into this game, tweaking the characters just so, just to make them work for our play style. Our so called Quality was 100% top notch. We could do anything just us. Heck, we've duo teamed more dungeons than we've played with actual full parties. Haukke manor? Done. Stone Vigil? Yup. But they took away BLM ability to use Physick. I'm just a glass cannon with no way to heal now. They took away all the lower level cross class skills on all the classes, so each class we swap to lost that extra buff, that extra attack. They gutted us and no one seems to understand it.

You have a role skill called drain, it can heal you.

In a battle sure, vs fall damage? Not so much.

He and his chocobo about got ganked by 2 creatures his level. This would have not been a problem before the skill change. Having to relearn a class skill loadout shouldn't have to happen. /facepalm It's World of Warcraft: Lich King all over again.

Also that shouldnt be possible as OW mobs dont hit as hard as dungeon trash, hes at level 47 so he has access to fire 3 and f3p with swift cast and manaward giving him.a shield up to 30% of his max hp

The lose of raging strikes shouldnt have impacted him that level especially with a chocobo.

Im mostly worried about this "play style" of yours as blm only has 1especially as sub level 50. Shield with mana ward, buff with fire 3 kill with fire 1 and st dot with thunder three or multi dot with thunder 2.

Also mp cost shouldnt be an issue considering UI 2 restores 45%? Per server tick.

A) I don't game nearly as much as other people do, I do work for a living.... so I have only a fraction of an understanding of what you just said there....
B) That still doesn't account for the inability to heal massive amounts of damage taken when a BLM pulls aggro off almost everything just by casting Thunder 2.

This is terribly condescending and clearly discounts any validity you had towards giving an opinion /grievance as you clearly haven't devoted enough time to the game.
This is sarcasm btw, just because you don't understand the jargon/ disagree / are getting called out doesn't make the points any less valid.

It may not make points less valid, but by stating I don't understand jargon, should let people know that if they dumb it down for me, I'm cool with that. Instead they keep using jargon, making me feel I have to open up another browser tab to google the words used just to understand what's going on. I've only been playing games like, half my life, the jargon being used in this game, nothing like my original favorites.

Suffice it to say, I'm displeased with how they took the game. They didn't have to do certain things, but they did, aiming to gear it more towards full party play, when I don't play that way.

Where and how are you accidentally/purposefully falling to drop your hp and for what reason?

Uh, lag running and dropping off the side of bridges trying to get to places.... normally. Nophicas well is one area I can think of off hand. Oh, the cliffs there in Coerthas beside dragons head (just west of there) is another.

What got me was the removal of all DPS damage over time skills. Isn't maintaining a consistent/constant output of damage what DPS does?
