There is so much wrong with this post. IR is very ping friendly and does not jeed hardly any skill speed to pull off. This is literally the 1st pist i have seen complaining about IR and ping in the same sentence. You are obviously having some trouble with this skill, and 9x out of 10 this happens because people dont know you should wait to hit the button until the latter part of your gcd CD. Thats on you. The only time i miss a FC in IR is because i screw up. You can do it with darn near zero skill speed if you do it properly.

Plds 50% stronger spammable heal comes by spamming heals instead of 50% boosted spell windows. The only time this is practical is while soloing which this game is not designed for. Sacrificing MASSIVE amounts of damage to heal does not put war behind. It puts pld behind because that is a terrible choice and only viable as a last ditch effort to an already boned run. Wars heal in the other hand costs zero dps, is ogcd, and can be buffed without hurting dps even further. I use equil in every fight all the time. Plds use ckemency at best during down time or in a pinch to proc their aoe party shield and still loose dps to do even that. And no self healing? I heal for roughly 50k per use of nascent and 25k to my target in raids. In dungeons i full heal and then some with it.

Raw int is 'inferior'? Its identical to plds 20% but costs no resource. Guns is 15% and has a itty bitty shield. Drks is better, but has some risk. The only reason raw isnt used as much is not because its inferior, its because nascent is so much more powerful in most situations.

The tanks were more balanced in stormblood? What in the...holy crap. When dek had zero aoe mit. When running without a pld was a stupid idea because of the immense support it had. When drk was inferior to both pld and war. In support, damage, and personal mitigation until the very end through many, many rounds of buffs while pld got many rounds of nerfs? When they did an entire war rework because it wasnt working quite right and let drk simmer for years? Tanks are chrrently more balanced in dps than ever before and thats with an additional tank to balance. They are are MUCH closer in the support side than ever before as all have aoe mit and single target support skills. They are all closer in mitigation as they have been homogenized heavily in personal mit skills. They are objectively more balanced now than in any point in history. Practically everything in your post is objectively wrong or hyperbole.
