Is anyone surprised at this point?

WAR didn't need any damage buffs. It needs a gameplay rework. The only reason to hope for freebies would be if you need it to mask gameplay deficiencies as a player.

Yes. I think that uptime should always be rewarded. I think handing out freebies because it makes everyone feel better about themselves devalues this.

Like I said in my last post, the difficulty with balancing burst that operates off of cooldown timers is that you benefit from downtime. That's not a deserved advantage. It's just an advantage. Other jobs have to compensate by just being better than you during the uptime phases. The workaround to this is to make burst resource gated, and have those resources come from uptime. In other words, you'd have to have abilities like IR and Delirium come off of a resource system that builds from actually hitting the boss, instead of standing around watching pretty cutscenes.

If you improve a job's skill ceiling and force good play, by all means, reward that.
