With an even stronger emphasis on single buffing instead of AoE, we need to look at what WHM brings on the 29th when Press Releases happen. The big worry for everyone waiting is that SE didn't actually fix the problem, and instead overtuned AST/SCH comp again since SCH already has more than enough tools to handle just about anything right now.

Secretly, the only thing I hope for is that Shields are in fact a Max HP %(Like 10-15%) instead of a flat number that can mitigate Omega's Savage Delta Attack without Tank LB3 and significant party mitigation.
Don't forget that if crit behave the same way it did in Stormblood, it definitly won't be as good of a stat after Shadowbringer launches. Direct Hit was king at the start of SB for that very reason.
Plus, if we consider TP being gone, Chain and Litany being nerfed, and jobs like Bard not caring about crit anymore, you might very well see SkS/SpS become way better than they were before.

In short, it's quite likely that we might let crit on the side for a few months after ShB's release.
