Do you think there is any way they are going to revert some of the upcoming changes?

[Alfric]

I think we will have to play the jobs first before they do start to look at criticisms, which is fair in my personal opinion(it’s okay to feel otherwise!) but as said above, I think we will see balance changes around when savage content is released have hope!!

[Karshan]

I dont think so. Just look at the insane shitstorm they received with whm back then in 4.0. WHM then only got some bandaid fixes over the whole Stormblood expansion. So through the whole of 5.x, i wouldnt expect more than a couple bandaids here and there.

As Samsta said WAR got reworked, and SCH and SMN got a LOT of fixes came 4.1 (they were butchered in 4.0); so the door to medium changes is not closed, but it most likely won't happen before 5.1 (they use Savage as beta testing lol) in 4 months. Anything before that will likely fall under the minor change category, not a second overhaul or full revert.

They will after release when everyone is making the same complaints.

I expect them to return at least some of the DPS skills by the very first 5.X patch. Probably buff Scholar to ridiculous levels, because for some apparent reason they love doing that in patches

[Siccoroa]

Scholar will likely get some variation of energy drain back, likely a mp restore with no potency attached. AST and WHM are fine mostly. Maybe there will be a buff to Divination making it 3% 5% 10% so that it's a little more impactful.

[Canadane]

they will just say actually play the job first. then they will make changes later.

This. And it’s good advice.
Play it first.

If they actually make the general content need the seemingly excessive amount of healing they're giving us, reverting many of the changes wont be necessary.
But that's a very big "if" that people have doubts on for good reason.

Although some players wont be satisfied no matter what unless it increases their damage.

[Shurrikhan]

As above. It'll just be a drip feed of minor adjustments over the next 2 years. I honestly don't think they have the manpower to do anything more than that.

They have the manpower to slash-and-burn working systems and skills, but not to hit Undo... Hmm.

[HyoMinPark]

Warrior's abilities got reworked though, so that gives me some hope.

Because it’s WAR. They’re still apologizing for 2.0 WAR and Holmgang being a bind.

There were other jobs that didn’t see anything major happening to them despite repeated feedback from launch until even now. Both DRK and MCH were told to wait until 5.0 released for significant job changes, as was WHM—they didn’t give WHM anything really until 4.5 with the enmity reduction on some of the GCDs and Assize’s CD reduction...which ironically defeated the point of the enmity reduction on their GCD heals because Assize has basically become a damage button with a giant overheal.

Increasing damage intake to a level where you'd mostly heal still wouldn't be exciting. The GCD healing toolkit is as boring as the 2 button DPS rotation. You either spam Cure/Physik/Benefic, or you spam Succor/Helios/Medica.

Healer design in FFXIV is fundamentally as simplistic as it can be.

Thats partially because there is still the older content to "heal", and the MSQ, beast tribe stuff where we have to DPS on our own.
