So? Most potency buffing moves do sit in the range that AST will now, and despite how ugly that Balance nerf looks, making Spear a crit buff gives another very handy DPS boosting option that has basically no risk of messing up the player it's used on.

If it stacks with skills like Battle Litany and Chain Strategem, that could be intense!

Honestly I'd say it comes out as a noticeable buff because now AST's have TWO good cards to try for instead of constantly shuffling back and forth on the off chance they might get the Balance they need. Besides like Ametrine stated if the crit chance stacks with a SCH's Chain Strategem and Battle Litany I'd honestly say the resulting damage output far and away will make even the unnerfed Balance seem exceedingly weak.

This is exactly how it feels at the moment. We have a useless skill and a weaker mitigation kit than the others. I'm curious to see how much the potency change does for us but I doubt it's enough.

What? No Sam buff? BLASPHEMY!

Jk. My Sam is just fine for now.

But YAY for sch love. Should help a bit.

While I Still wish they'd either tweak a few of our costs or give back that % they took from aether flow, this looks like a nice start. =)

Rip to the once kings of aoe to me having to make the switch because my favorite pet titan can't even tank something his own level without dying or on the brink of death. SE if you going to do this to us at least give us more health and better armor because when titan dies I get tired of running around in Circles just to stay alive because I can't take that many hits from the bosses from msq, which I say is a vary stupid way to have to play the game, on top of that I can't heal me or my pet. GIVE US SUSTAIN BACK and also give titan provoke boom summoner fixed.

Quite happy with the White Mage changes. Lillies will be more useful and flexible than ever and PI will make a nice splash heal chaser during unavoidable AOEs when paired with Medica 2.

Unmend in PVP has gone from 10 seconds to 30.

Shit boy do I cry...

Oh well, most of the changes are very welcome, I feel like they completely missed the point with DRG however. At least the healers seem to be on even ground now.

The caveat here is they list this new restriction on job comp under Level Requirement. Seems to me they have effectively blocked non-standard comps in Savage.

So I geuss its a good thing I leveled up Samurai, since apparently SE doesn't think Summoners should be viable. Yay? -_-

I don't understand how SE can honestly be okay with SMN being as bad as it currently is. Page after page of threads complaining and begging for SMN changes and we get... one little adjustment? Which tbh shouldn't have needed to be adjusted in the first place if they hadn't made SMNs rotation so convoluted and punishing because gauges for everyone!
