For all your complaints of the devs not playing the game, you sure don't read their statements.

He explicitly said potencies. Not damage, potencies. There's more than just damage potencies.

That means drk having some more sustain. And why isn't misery and toxikon upped to they aren't dps loss to use? Astro's pdps is pitiful as usual.

And i don't recall dragoon tether distance being a potency? So if that can change, why not other qol like say making living dead not kill the drk

Dark Knights suffer ever more.

Meanwhile it's a great day for Warriors and Paladins~!

I have to assume the OP doesn't play the game at any level that actually matters - PLD was by far the lowest performing of the tanks in end game content and DRK the highest. GNB and WAR are both in good spots and didn't really need any adjustment. I'll be surprised if the PLD buff doesn't get walked back a bit next patch (as SE is wont to do).

You can keep assuming that... you know, makes an ass out of you and all that. I play daily, and yes, I play them all. Jokes on you though.

Uh huh. I'm sure you do - you must if you thought paladin was in a remotely good place before this patch and wasn't so far behind the other tanks that early groups would have not been able to clear if one of their tanks had been a paladin.

Imagine easy content being easy. The audacity.
From all those threads here what people struggle with I'm not surprised and thats exactly why SE doesn't balance around that. Making it harder would scare those people away.

How does balancing some classes to be more on par with the rest make the content easier?

Cause PLD and DNC being gated out of savage cause of their trash damage was totally fun and exciting and challenging instead. And other such things.

Most of the changes are single target potency buffs, and therefore do not impact dungeon pulls that much.
Also, potency changes barely impacts the difficulty of easier content. It just makes easy bosses faster to kill, and thus, less boring.
The mechanics are still going to be the same.
If anything, it makes hard content easier, since the only thing those changes really impact are the DPS checks, but that's all.
