Dear Physical Ranged DPS and..

[Daniolaut]

Dear physical ranged DPS.

You are not going to get buffed.


....If Square-Enix learned anything from the last time you asked to have increased damage.

I understand some of you are new and arent quite familiar with the mechanics and design of FFXIV but, yes, your ability to be at long distance, plus have no cast times, means you absolutely must have lower damage from other roles who are faced with more mechanics to their role.

--FACT--

Square-Enix already boosted physical range dps damage once before....


and then reverted it.

This is because boosting physical ranged dps damage equates to adding cast times to their attacks, as seen here:

People did not like this even more than having low damage as a ranged dps.



Melee.

You will not have positionals removed from the role.
If positionals were to be removed, the damage of melee DPS would need to be lowered, as this is a mechanic that this role is specific to and is what gives it even the ever most slight complexity.




All DPS.

The game is already significantly simplified from not only version 1.0, which most especially from version 1.0,

But also since 2.0 the game has been extremely simplified.

Asking for things to be even more simple, makes the game more and more boring.

Please, just take a little time out of your gaming to read your abilities, understand mechanics, accept wipes as a learning experience, and try to improve.

Square-Enix does not need to constantly nerf boss', simplify mechanics, and buff the jobs anymore. It is already extremely extremely out hand how simple this game has become.



Side note:

End game raiders.

Stop asking for buffs to your specific job or any specific job and compostion.

It has already been said by Square-Enix it is possible to clear content with any composition of varying roles (this means do not double up on BLM as an example.)

If you're failing to meet DPS requirements, consider changing your tactics and rotations.

Healers...

So long as you fail to keep dps and tanks alive because you refuse to cast or use a "GCD" heal/shield to push more damage, Square-Enix should not, and I encourage them -to not- add complexity to the healer role.

sorry, game is more popular now so there will be plenty of nerfs in the future.

What did I just read?

For BRD and DNC i won't mind the low damage output so long as their support capabilities are a worthwhile contribution to the group. MCH is the only one that needs to remain in a somewhat competitive spot damage wise. All they have for utility is Tactician.

Hate to break it to you, but the healers who push damage (read: healers who are actually participating and contributing instead of twiddling their thumbs) generally aren't the ones wiping groups. They care about playing optimally and usually know their toolkit inside out and how to use it efficiently.

The "pure healers" are interestingly enough usually bad healers. I've seen many low damage healers who are overhealing like crazy, afk at critical moments, panicking over any damage and missing half their key abilities.

And what about healers who have no trouble keeping their party up even while dpsing?

[Theodric]

Increase my ranged DPS damage, please. Thank you.

My brain hurts.

I don't mind having lower dps on range but I want more support skills.. THats the main point of being in the range users is support skills that healers honestly should have... yet outside Bard we have hardly any support skills maybe 1-2 tops


I mean its a little sad that tanks, and black mage has way more support skills than the jobs that are suppose to be SUPPORT like the healers and range users.
