Thread: 5.2+ Job Balance Feedback Thread

Astrologian
Currently, any spell that is cast under the effect of Neutral Sect will be interrupted if Neutral Sect ends before the cast is finished. This should not be the case for any important Healer cooldowns, as this can very easily lead to a party member dying simply because your own cooldown renders you actionless for a few seconds. Changing Aspected Benefic to an instant cast would prevent skill interrupts, and also increase Job identity.

Astrologians will also sometimes not get the use out of an Abridged proc while going from a Benefic I directly into Benefic II, because the proc doesn't register before you use Benefic II. Something should be changed so that this would not be an issue.

Scholar
Often 10 second duration for Adloquium ends up being an MP deficit, because the shield effect runs out rather than gets broken. Increasing the duration or making the shield effect permanent would help out Scholar greatly.

Changing Biolysis "Reduces target's HP recovered by healing actions by 20%" effect to either not stack with, or alternatively overwrites, Dark Knight's Edge of Shadow debuff, and vice versa. Alternatively, replace the Biolysis effect with an entirely new effect altogether so that the stacking isn't an issue and allowing Scholar to contribute in some other way. Such as a pure DoT effect.

Dark Knight
Changing Dark Knight's The Blackest Night to either to not granting Dark Arts, reduce Edge of Darkness potency from 1000 to 800 or reduce the "Reduces target's HP recovered by healing actions by 20%" to reducing recovery by 10%. One of these changes would help bring Dark Knight in line with other tanks.

Changing Edge of Shadow "Reduces target's HP recovered by healing actions by 20%" effect to either not stack with, or alternatively overwrites, Scholar's Biolysis debuff, and vice versa. Or as mentioned in the Scholar feedback, create an entirely new effect altogether for Biolysis so the stacking isn't an issue.

Dragoon
Consider removing Dragon Sight, and replacing it with Battle Litany.

The playerbase at large feels like Dragoon's general at range damage and Piercing Talon in it's current iteration encourages "wall camping" because of it's considerably big potency when used at range and the ability having no cooldown. Either lowering potencies, adding a cooldown to Piercing Talon or removing the "Extends Blood of the Dragon or Life of the Dragon duration by 10s, to a maximum of 30s" effect from the ability would help to fix this issue.
