Thread: Try to predict Nerf/Buff/QoL of 4.2 DPS Edition

Why bring a melee when a ranged can do exactly the same thing, and has more damage to boot? If anything they should give trick attack to another class too.

Because of LB penalty?
Because NIN still has Shadewalker, Smokebomb and Slash debuff?
Because it's still 30 seconds of extra damage every 2 minutes vs just 20 seconds with MCH alone?

SAM and WAR can provide slashing debuff. Are you saying Shadewalker/Smokescreen is worth a raid spot by itself? I can't even think of a scenario besides Neo-Exdeath where if you use it at the pull and forget about it nothing bad happens. If they wanted to make enmity control our niche the CD's would have to be lowered significantly. Even then, not really sure if that'd be worth a raid spot over superior damage.

There is always going to be a meta, I don't see anyone complaining about BRD's >.>
