Thread: Job Balancing 6.08 (still needs work)

If you look Phoinix or Hesperos 2 parses RDM is only around 250 DPS behind BLM right now and the gap is only getting closer once people are closer to bis gear and play better. If BLM would not get that massive 300+ DPS buff, it would already be behind RDM in 100% parse in Phoinix and Hesperos 2. Balancing selfish and buffer jobs is always kind of tricky because buffer jobs have so much more DPS potential after prog. Average DPS is always BLMs flavor because it is easier to have a good run with one job in a single run than a good run with 8 different people. To balance jobs around average DPS BLM would be out of the question for a speed kill meta. I think casters are currently pretty fine if SMN would be buffed somewhere between RDM and BLM right now.

On Hesperos 2 BLM is still top did you sort it by last 1 week or left it on 2 weeks wich would include results before 6.08.
On P2S and P1S BLM is 2nd only slightly behind monk.
P3S is only anomaly where BLM is slightly behind all melees.

Yet MCH is dead last on every fight by 1k+ dps.
