Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XXXVII Discussion Thread

[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.

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.

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).
