This patch’s balance changes are laughable.

SMN's 5 potency nerf to dots equates about a 1.5% decrease in damage overall and RDM's 20 potency gains equate to about a 2.2% increase in dps. RDM's "problem" of being a weak caster is only about 5% less than SMN and a bit over 6% less than BLM. These changes are not insignificant in creating a better balanced between the caster jobs. If a 2% difference doesn't sound like a lot to you, then these changes are not meant for you but for players who can utilize this difference in damage.

The caster changes are nice. I'm just wondering where the physical ranged dps changes went.
