However, Balance is still 100% better than Spear. Balance and Spear have the same level of strength, but Balance is a flat damage buff, but Spear is a chance to get a chance at damage boosts. The Balance is more reliable, and it lasts longer. On top of that, while Spear and Litany and Stratagem can stack, so can Balance, Trick Attack, Foe's, and other Job-specific buffs. Your point is moot. This is to bring Spear's strength more in line to Balance's strength.

The increased duration for Ewer and Spire is more because their effects seem underwhelming straight up since they only seem good while under the effect of Extended.
