Cut to reply.

DNC isnt inconsistent and your argument here is 3 long rotation cooldowns? Do you perhaps ever look at logs and do the math to work out where we\\'re averaging? If it wasnt for BRD we:d be dead last and the least consistent performer. 3 long cooldowns dont change that, its minor consistency and a see of inconsistency.

DNC can perform really well, if RNG is on your side and you feast

thats not the reality, you will have feast but you will also have famine, you will use sub optimial skills in the chase for Feathers, you will get Devilment up with 2 or less Feathers getting no Fan Dance 3 proc other than the one from Flourish and no further feathers. You\\'ll be down the bottom of the charts because unlike the RDM our bad luck streak protection isn\\'t as useful.

The RDM went from being on the verge of being discluded from Savage content to competing fiercely for the top spot along side SMR and BLM, all it took was making Acceleration stacks instead of one every 45 seconds.

Yes the class is RNG, however every class in FF that relies on random elements even the Gambler had/has some form of bad luck protection (forcing the reels to to avoid Joker Doom for example) in an MMO where a certain level of consistency is expected..

Bottom of the charts dps and famine streaks are unacceptable, we need Flourish to bad luck protect better than it does to offer us that consistency we currently lack.

Id also like to point out that you\\'re expecting perfect synergy all the time. In a game built around pick up groups (statics exist, but the main audience of the game is the JP market, who mostly party finder pick up group) you\\'re not going to get perfect raid synergy in 90% of your groups, so you\\'re going to look to synergize with the one person you can which is the person you\\'re pairing with.

Also just a side note on your last note, the Dancer was never RNG in any of its other incarnations in FF they were either a mobile ranged assassin with buffs/debuffs or a back line support that took time to build into a status affliction monster.

The Gambler was rolled into the DNC for this incarnation the problem.. Even the Gambler had loaded dice and the ability to force slots to stop on what they wanted, we get a buncha 50% chance for Feathers and a Fan Dance III as our protection.

Don\\'t get me wrong, nothing wrong with an RNG class, whats wrong is that RNG having poor protection so they have no expected consistency of performance in raid environments.

Feast or Famine never works in an mmo, the only reason we don\\'t get benched is because of people liking having us along to pad their own stats through Step buffs.

Trial 3 stacks and see where it goes from there, because right now we need something other than stat padding to ensure we\\'re not feeling like a charity case.
