DPS Balance Thread

BLM just needs damage, though they're already quite strong.

Let's keep talking about #deletedisembowel for another 200 pages instead so SE will actually do something about it.

This. Can we start just honing in on Disembowl at this point? It's the main thing throwing balance out the window and the center of what makes DRG/MCH/BRD meta in the first place.

Or better yet, do what most people thought was going to happen. Change MCHs damage into Blunt damage so both ranged aren playing off a single melee.

Best case scenario would of course be give ranged their own debuff, but SE gave us some BS reason as to why that would be imbalanced (as if to say it's balanced as it is)

Delete damage type buffs/debuffs? I mean, they have been weeding out a lot of 1.0 stuff, so why not this?

Yet when Ranged don't even NEED the buffs, since they're already in a strong position in the case of BRD. MCH might need a few more QoL things here and there since they've found nothing but failure in the usage of Overheat and just overcomplicated the job itself.

By giving Ranged a piercing debuff of their own, it'd cause them to be powercreeping on Melee by themselves as well as make BRD a bit harder to play(extra timer to keep track of).

P.S. If you want an example of powercreeping, go look at Heavensward when WAR was capable of contesting a Melee.
