Is it just me or is class design / balance severely lacking this expansion?

Healers being kind of boring are really the only thing that I have a complaint about. They all still heal fine obviously.

Tanks are more homogenized too, but aside from DRK's Delirium/BS being somewhat of an IR/FC clone, I still enjoy all of them.

I also don't care one iota about the meta though, so I have fewer metrics that I focus on in regards to my satisfaction with classes.

Any improvements with 5.4?

BRD, DRG and RDM got some slight potency increases (10) on their main spammables, SCH got dps shifted from ED to the spammable and DoTs and MNK reworked. Can't speak about MNK but the other fixes are weak and won't probably raise the dps of the three classes that much.

I'll say it. It's time for Yoshi P to step aside. As much as we all love him he is afraid to have anything different in the game. The meme that he's scared of the word "change" isn't even a meme, it's reality. The game is becoming increasingly stagnant under him and we'll never see classes start to flesh out their own identity (Like HW AST) if he stays in charge.

It seems MNK may have gotten some much needed attention finally. I don't play anymore and unfortunately I am stuck working lol
