Stat squish is a nerf when you consider damage potencies were reduced by 20% and you see most of the high end damage being at most 15k. And that the highest geared Tanks could reach 200k HP and got knocked down to 65k. Huge loss.

There is also concerns about bumrushing content unsynced which I think come Endwalker only Blue Mage with Basic Instinct + Mighty Guard + Self Buffs will be able to achieve.

I wouldn't be surprised if they nerfed Final Sting/Selfdestruct again.
