So you're telling me..

There's this idea in MMO's that melee should deal higher damage because they put themselves more at risk.
I don't actually think that's true in FFXIV at least not nowadays.
Melee can for the most part do mechanics and keep dps:ing with no trouble, mechanics affect BLM more than others.

Not gonna lie, this had me rollin' lmfao

Don't worry, they can justify the low damage by giving black mage some utility. Hmm, maybe some kind of skill that lets them transfer mana from their character to another character. Maybe they could call it manashift? That would be neat, very unique utility, definitely worth the tradeoff.

You lost 50 potency on the heal, which is honestly the right call. A DPS shouldn't have a heal button that is stronger than any one button on a dedicated healer.

I see you on The Balance, lmao.

Kinda funky that RPR could out aoe heal my Fairy's Whispering Dawn, and its on a shorter cooldown. O_o

Frankly it needs dmg a tiny bit below SAM & MNK to be balanced.

Good to see DRG & NIN got some nice buffs though.

Oh there you are, Mr. "AC is perfectly balanced" proceeds to get slapped with a 50% nerf lmao

Oh no, my regen is gone. Reaper is broken now, unplayable job! They’ve gone too far and nerfed the one thing zero reapers cared about and zero healer utilised. However will we raid in savage

you don't even make sense

It’s called sarcasm. You among many have pushed and pushed for a nerf of something zero reapers cared about. I rather doubt anyone used it for its regen and only used it to greed uptime or if they messed up. This “nerf” I welcome it. Enjoy playing your buffed dragoon or whatever you play. I hope this “nerf” stops you crying on the forums for 30 pages more
