So you're telling me..

[Drkdays]

These statements are honestly just not true.

So...what part was untrue? You disagreeing does not make my statements untrue.

It IS a 3% buff. The heal potency IS 100, lasting 15 seconds and only if your crest is broke. Don't roll in on someone saying they're lying when they aren't.

Are these abilities strong? Yes, but not wildly so. You say it's about as strong as Litany, but so what? You want it to be notably weaker? And a heal ability that can only be used if your crest is up and takes more than 10% of your health? Very conditional.

The only thing that needs work is the raw damage. Their utilities are fine as they are.

Just compare it to other melees. MNK might be the best for that.

- MNK has a 15s buff with 5% which lasts in 75%. Meanwhile Reaper has a 3% buff with 20s which lasts in 60%.
- Reapers has a shield with 30s cd, which will always procc on any aoe and grad 100 healing potency over 15s. Meanwhile MNK sits on a 90s cd with 10% more heal for 15s.

In kind of damage MNK seem to be better, but in kind of heal RPR is way better. On top RPR is the best DPS so far and super easy to play. Ofc new MNK is not harder much harder to play, but still overall worse than RPR.

Then you´ve other melees like the selfish SAM falling completely behind in damage AND utility, NIN which has become laughable for whatever reason and only brings trick attack with it, meanwhile sitting on a 120s shield with 20% when RPR sits on 10% with 30s. Yeah TA is not bad, but compared to RPR´s output still just laughable.

Imo RPR is nothing but broken, MNK is too. SAM and BLM, the most selfish DPS ingame getting outclasses by 2 braindead classes, meanwhile every other class lacks behind hard. SGE is broken too compared to any other healer. Easy to play, mobile af and it has the biggest output. SMN is the only "new" class with a damage output which is justified. It´s plays simpler / as simple as DNC and should stuck with the damage scaling RDPS classes have.

And btw: https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1qL4y1J7Mh (Beware 1st primal spoiler) says enough about the current situation in kind of healing and unneccesary utility kits.

The current balance sucks hard and RPR needs a hardnerf in DPS and shouldn´t be able to heal the GRP. Easy to play classes should never be that strong as RPR is.

Of course i am not saying its not a 3% buff, its in the tooltip, i am saying it is a really good raidbuff , saying "its just 3%" makes it seem like its weak, when it really isnt other than if compared to brotherhood.

If a dps healing the party more than a tank over the course of a fight is not wildly powerful, i guess there are no powerful abilities in the game at all? How would you rate shade shift and life surge (lol) if arcane crest is not overpowered?

I am not saying you are lying, just misrepresenting the situation, reaper is so much better than the other classes under every aspect, except maybe monk damage which from what i understand is doing a different rotation the developers didnt find out or something.
Just to put it this way, if reaper/ninja/dragoon are all doing similar damage, lets say 1% difference from each other instead of the actually massive 5% lead reaper has, why would you not always bring the class that can also heal you like maybe half a healer, which potentially saves healer gcds = more damage, which also happens to be easier to play so players of similar skill are more likely to perform better on reaper?

Current balancing is bad, one job cant excel at everything, and tbh its not like reaper is not going to suddenly be unfun if you are doing the same skills just without effortlessly topping meters. Just step back for a second and compare it to the other jobs, should ther not be some upside to bringing them sometimes?

Yes, talking down to people makes you very rude. I hope no one ever accuses me of such a thing.

And you make it sound as if I didn't get exactly what I wanted. Damage being untouched is great news to me. If the one utility is the only thing they adjusted, I couldn't be happier and I'm pretty sure it wasn't what most are whining about anyways in this thread.

Nice work, SE! A nerf I can support!
