Summoner - Why the new "buffs" are not working

[MrJPtheAssassin]

The BLM buff was the most perplexing part of the patch. I guess being Yoshi-Ps preferred job really pays off huh?

The blm buffs were mostly just to get it above rpr since they didn't want to nerf rpr at all. In fact, most of the buff we saw to melee jobs and selfless jobs was supposed to do that but seems by the theorized list only blm and mnk were pushed above rpr. Rpr imo is still overturned for the amount of uility it brings into a party and I really think they going to have to nerf it at some point.

That is correct but there is merit to question why BLM is 1k above MCH right now. So I see why people feel the dev are biased because I feel that way. Probably not the case but they sure don't reflect it properly on the changes... I personally would have preferred no changes because 6.08 causes more harm than good right now imho.

Well to be honest I rather they just nerf rpr instead of trying to bring "all" the jobs to it level. I do understand tho I always felt blm was the favorite since yoshi p has always been open about how much he loves blm. So that leads to ppl feeling that way. I felt it about smn bc smn has always felt like no one plays it on the dev team bc it always had problems in each expac. As for mch they got shafted badly and I don't understand why they did buff it more bc now it looks like it's taking dnc place which is dumb.

They likely don't want to nerf Reaper because its the new job for the expac. its likely a little overpowered to entice people to play it. I recall the same thing with dancer in Shadowbringers.

Oh yeah, I know why they don't want to nerf rpr but that doesn't mean I completely agree with their decision. Also, I don't remember dnc being overpowered in ShB but that has been so long so I could be wrong plus I didnt main it. I also understand the dev team doesn't like nerfing jobs but they still do. Whenever they over buffed smn in past expacs they turned around and gave nerfs to smn in more than one patch bc it was overperforming. As a smn main I never complained tho since smn was overturned after the 4.1 and 5.1 patches. This is why I said they most likely will nerf rpr at some point if it continues to overperform bc they can only buff the other jobs so much till it starts causing issues with harder content.
