Thread: 5.3 COMPLETE patch notes

They also added a weekly in the Unreal fight and a daily that'll last for a least a few weeks with Dwarves.

Notice how the Faux thing is weekly
The game needs more daily activities outside of rouletes.
Dwarves...yeah crafting, ok I guess.

What Warrior really needs is to do the most damage of any tanks, but not by a little bit, it should be significant.
WAR, the most damage
PLD, the most defense
DRK, The option to use their shadow energy for a lot of defense or to do a lot damage
GNB, Medium damage. Option for high self healing or high defense

PLD would be what RdM was before the buffs and still is for many parties: training wheels.
Once prog time is over, WAR/ DRK would be standard. Why bring a tank with stellar defense or self heal if it's overkill and doesn't save your healers GCDs?

You got mannequins!

Thank fights like Ultimates where every job need to be the same or the meta will exclude certain jobs.
It's funny how all mmorpgs get into this problem where they want to push difficulty so high that you either have people crying about balance or about how all the classes are so basic.

They might have to separate job balance into PVP, PVE, and PVU (ultimates).

Looks also removing chests with just crafting items in them too. No indication how we will receive them now, such as the crafting items in Qarn.

I mean yeah, the game needs more and I'll agree with that. But I think it'll last a little longer then a week with some people (not all).
