Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XXXVII Discussion Thread

[Pence]

INB4 the text command for Bahamut is something only the SMN can see. (When it's added eventually)

[Theodric]

I'm not going to lie, I'm a little bitter that PLD's damage output was abysmal for so long and then when it finally gets a redesign to be the 'king' it immediately gets hit with the nerf bat. Yet WAR was allowed to hit like a truck for a very long time, was reigned in and then is set to be boosted once more. I'll reserve my judgement for how things play out but...I'm wary.

Not really a fan of the idea of Aurum Vale being nerfed either. Not every dungeon needs to be trivial and all it requires is people to pull enemies cautiously and pay attention to the mechanics of each boss to succeed.

A raid roulette is a great addition, though. It's sorely needed.

[Kukajoo]

I am very happy with the implementation of Alliance raid roulette and cross world alliance party's, i'll finally have motivation to go back in those things

[Zumi]

With this Paladin nerf and war/drk buff people will not want Paladins again most likely for raids. The only thing people really care about in raids is damage output.

Snip.

Its a bit early to say for sure, but given SEs track history with over nerfing things, I wouldn't be at all surprised. But fingers crossed for all the PLD mains out there. ><

No, it's not. Just this evening I ran into an all STR build warrior who would simply not tank, and was as bullish as ever about warriors superiority. Thanks for one bloody month SE. You crapped on Paladin again.

No plans to nerf Royal Menagerie but they'll be wary of having future main story content be as difficult.

That's all been said before. But let's nerf the only old dungeon who's difficulty is worth anything instead.

[Niraves]

Snip.

Well, unless that all star build Warrior is actually secretly Yoshi-P in disguise I think its still a bit too early to say for sure.

[Berethos]

With this Paladin nerf

Isn't it a bit early to be bemoaning the Paladin changes? Yes, they indicated that Holy Spirit will be getting nerfed as they consider it too strong with its cast time being so short, but they also mentioned that the Oath Gauge would no longer be reduced when switching Oaths.

Without knowing more about the "adjustments" based on the strength of Holy Spirit due to its cast time, sounds like they are aiming more for a reduction of a specific skill while bringing other aspect up, instead of just nerfing Paladin below War/Drk (while buffing those two).

I honestly believe they have no idea of what to do with pet class. I always loved Summoner and pet classes in general, but the way they're handling things makes me not want to use them. /sigh

I love my summoner but it is honestly starting to get to me and I hate myself for it. But at the same time I don't want to be kicked out of content by people because I want to play the job I enjoy the most. :/
