Why would you balance anything on 75%ile? You balance at Max DPS. Especially this early with gear differences

The developers don't and never have balanced jobs based off the top parse in the world. They expect those to be outliers of performance, and if disparities exist there, it's fine. If that's your baseline as to how jobs should be balanced, then you're out of touch with how the game works. If anything I'm being too high based off how they look at jobs, which is generally how they balance in the hands of the "average" player, or the 50th percentile.

This game has never been balanced around 50%ile and I think you're the one out of touch. You can maybe argue for 99%

Would it have killed them to buff Flamethrower on MCH?

Right? That skill is such a waste right now.

From a balance perspective, they are irrelevant because none of that content is tuned remotely close to what the jobs are capable of. Case in point, if you outright deleted Bloodwhetting, TBN, Corundum and Shelltron. What changes? Absolutely nothing. The healers still spend 90%+ of their casts on the ST/AoE nuke.

Even mildly insinuating Expert is more important than Savage is completely laughable. I'd like to remind you they've readily been removing dungeons every expansion. Can't say the same about savage

Expert has literally been the last two dungeons for some time now. And you’re just being inane if you think removing those abilities won’t have an impact on expert. Savage raiders always thinks their content is the only content that matters when they’re in the minority. WoW has the same problems, optimizing for a minority of players. If savage is where they look at single target, expert is where they should look for aoe.

As a fellow MCH main, it feels very much like we are the stepchildren banished to the corner.
