    tank buffs/nerfs

    Apparently WAR/DRK DPS buffs are coming in 4.2, nothing specific yet for DRK but apparently WAR will get changes to combo damage similar to DRG in 4.1 (base skill damage down combo damage up) and some adjustments will be made to make it easier to play.
    PLD will be nerfed

    I guess we will have to wait for official patch notes. Kinda seems like he didn't want to go into detail about it. But went well into detail about BLM

    They did say PLD DPS in particular will be nerfed, and WAR&DRK DPS will be buffed.

    Back to DRK+WAR comps everywhere, it seems...

    Depends on how drastic an increase Dark Knight gets. If it ends up paladin level we still don’t offer their utility and paladin will be taken over Dark Knight imo.

    If one comes down 100 dps and the other goes up 100 dps then they are nearly the same but one has way more support and team utility. So we’ll just have to wait for notes I guess. I’m just happy they finally acknowledged dark knight.

    No worries DRK still has no raid utility, they can tune 4.3 new morn afah or w/e with all the raid cds they want in order to survive so that PPLD can still be sought after

    We back to Heavensward boys. Surely it was outlandish that PLD could be in competitive comps, they mustve known their place.

    War is being buffed, Sch is given a small qol buff. You know we headed back to Hsw days. Gotta keep these #1 you know.

    Square please can other jobs have time to actually outperform these two.

    Curious to see exactly what the changes will consist of. I just hope that these changes will bring us closer to a better balance, not away from it. Warrior is already rather well balanced, it would take little to make him too strong, I hope they're going to be smart about this for once.

    Anyway, I'm really happy for the drk, that was really the most urgent issue, I was scared they where going to do nothing about it.

    Official Translation:

    Tank
    •Paladin
    Their damage output was a bit too high, so we have lowered their DPS just a bit.


    •Warrior/Dark Knight
    The DPS for both warrior and dark knight will be increased. For warriors, we will lower the effect of Storm’s Eye a little; however, will be increasing the potency of other actions. We've also made system changes to Inner Release and Berserk.

    For dark knight, we have increased their usability in general.

    Additional notes from the Reddit thread: Link

    TANKS

    •DRK: DPS will be buffed slightly; usability will be improved.


    •PLD: DPS will be nerfed slightly.


    •WAR: Beast gauge management will be simplified, Storm's Eye effect magnitude will be scaled back in exchange for having other actions buffed (same deal as DRG's previous adjustments with Heavy Thrust), and changes will be made to Inner Release and Berserk. DPS will be buffed slightly.
    _________________________________________________


    Vague as F. What the hell are "System Changes to IR and Zerk". Wtf is simplified beast gauge management? Getting rid of the leftover 5s? Drk 'Usability will be improved'? Why bother saying anything at all in these things. So useless.

    Well so much for balancing tanks out to be on equal footing. Drk desperately needs a lot of attention while WAR and PLD seemed to finally be pretty even. Hopefully drk buffs are actually worthwhile. The war buffs might wind up being not so great if they make some major adjustments to it. Guess we will have to wait and see. Godspeed us.
