it was some interview around the time of the live reading of the patch notes or the prelim notes.
He said more accurately that, at least for tanks, he feels like they're done with potency adjustments. That's all, but I've made a similar remark that yeah, potencies are good and done, and I myself doubt that there'll be anything else to come for tanks.

It was in the GNB SFX thread where I said this.

No one cares about potency adjustments though. I thought this thread was about Dark QOL changes.

well this thread's proposed changes might lead to potency adjustments due to the fact that DRK would be generating more resource with a lower cooldown CnS, 2 abyssal charges, an extra quietus/bloodspiller every 90 secs from Salted, and Stalwart being moved to lv 40, but the DPS gain wouldn't be too bad, seeing as how DRK is the lowest in terms of DPS atm. i think that DRK could, and SHOULD, have had these changes since at least 5.2, seeing as how its been in a state of total chaos for the last year, but I think that may stem from something bigger..

The lack of a dedicated Tank (and healer) developer. atm there are only 4 battle system devs, and those devs have openly stated that they prefer to play DPS and don't like playing tanks or healers. why hasn't square hired at least one dev for each of the 2 roles? I think that is the biggest problem that's plaguing both tank and healer design.

That's my hope as well. I'd love to see DRK get something, and GNB's sounds reverted for their basic combo to what they were on 5.0 launch.

But, track record is not on our side.
