So, it's seeming that DNC actively goes against some of the designs that the devs have for the game.

Such as, enticing you to use a Parser so you know which person is doing the most DPS so would make the most of your buffs. While Parsers are not endorsed by SE nor is any form of DPS monitoring featured in the game (Even more so is PS4 where parsers cannot be used at all)

In addition, there's already notation that due to their reliance upon weaponskill users for their resource generation, they also have synergy with specifically MNK/NIN/SAM. While the rest of the changes we know about the combat system for 5.0 is that they were explicitly trying to remove job specific synergies.

With the other thing being that they also wanted to tone down rDPS buffs... But with DNC being focused around providing rDPS buffs...

I don't know what to make of this... I'm sure SE have a plan of what they're doing. It just seems kind of odd. Like, they're making all these changes and have made decisions around things and then there's DNC who seems to be the exception to all of them?

I can't help but thing they're going to have a hard time trying to balance DNC properly as a result.
