Was being facetious. As neat as the number boost is, it sorta missed the point. Atonement is still worthless, and we're still saddled with that ridiculous opener. DRK and GNB will continue to be chosen over PLD time and time again while WAR carves out its own little niche in the background because of that whole not needing heals thing.

The Tomahawk buff, while completely unnecessary, makes sense. It puts it on par with Unmend and Lightning Shot. Shield Lob is still lower in potency due to PLD being the tank with the most ranged options.

Healers won't be getting anything of significances. The dev doesn't like balance tanks and healers in general so they will leave them until a major patch. Though I was kinda shocked to see no mp changes for WHM.

DRG got a really nice buff and Dragon Sight is less clunky to use.

SMN got a small buff but I guess they're slowly buffing them so they don't overpower RDM as fast.



SAM and BLM buffs were a given as they're the selfish dps so therefore deserving of the highest dps.

NIN needs a full rework at this point.

WAR and MNK buffs??? Were they even needed? Tomahawk is such a weird choice for a buff. And MNK's issues lie further than numbers as they're already strong af next to RPR.

MCH buff isn't really anything. They need a huge buff if they're going to be selfish phys. ranged dps.

DNC hopefully will be on par with BRD at least. But I really hope they address BRD's issues in 6.1.

Phys. Ranged itself is in an identity crisis.

Been there, done that. I don't see the devs reworking the class again any time soon /shrug

Nothing new there.

Nin and drg are still a bit lower than they should be but it's a step in the right direction, also lol ast.

PLD very much needed the buff, though I'm not sure if it's even enough yet, I don't math. Just, I'm not a fan of bursts so I was more hoping for potency increases all over the board, not a burst.

Happy about DRG, except for losing the animation, no more "I choose you!".

I don't know how significant BLM and SMN changes are, but I just hope they don't make RDM useless again outside of resbot, in comparison.

I don't get why people are saying DRK should have been there too. This was just potency buffs, and the last thing DRK needs is higher dps. It does need adjustments, but certainly not in this category.

Yeah that's pretty much why Yoshi P said this is just a numbers change recently. How ever it is rather disappointing as in previous expansions have had major changes to address class issues by now, and so far we have only gotten mostly minor and some major potency buffs here and there.

Isn't it also because the issues are not as big this time around? Can't remember really how bad it was in previous expansions...
