    I feel like I'm talking to a child on this, but that's really not how game design works. In a situation where you buff everyone and everyone wins, the content itself becomes trivial and retention rate drops. This has happened before, with countless other games. Power creep is inevitable, but by limiting its encroachment, you can delay its effects. Your mentality of "NOOOOO DONT NERF MY CLASS" strikes me as rather selfish and unacquainted with the design of game balance.

    The fact is its eight slots if we talkin about raids we have 15 jobs , if you want to follow some midmax group for raids then thats on you. But if you just want to raid and have fun with your jobs what does it matter, numbers only matter if you can see them if your parsing.

    Otherwise you dont know whos doing what damage, its no need to mess up a new job for five percent of the player base anyway. SE from the year I have been playin this game doesnt know how to balance and it will never be a situation where every comp will work so again why nerf them. The only time it matters is if you are mid maxing or something, Im not about that life but if you are thats cool , but if you not worried about a meta or something of the sorts I really dont see why it matters if a job is a bit better than the other.


    @Yorumi

    How are you gona be put out of a job, there is no spot for any job its those whom follow a meta set up by top tier raiders and 8 slots that must be filled by 15 different jobs. You either play what you want and worry about yourself and your friends are you seek balance thats impossible to have how can every job have a spot in a meta where only 8 players can participate? IF blms in then rdm out, if smn in then blm out , like thats how it works just like whm was out, palidan was out in hw so I dont get what you guys mean by balance and losing a job. Play what you want and stop worring about all the small stuff. Its impossible to have balance in this game , to where everyjob would fit in a meta its not gona happen so why do people think taking a nerf gun to everything is the solution.

    Honestly, I just don't think it would be a good idea to repeat the series of nerfs they implemented to BRD that continued into Heavensward with RDM...
