I'm glad you perform better than most, it's still not relevant to the discussion. And also no one said this is "dumbing down" the job. I'm apparently condescending but you say that you don't take people's criticism unless they are XY good and you think that's normal. Good to know.

Ah yes, I almost forgot. Let's wait until patch notes (that won't have anything in it that will change minds). Next, we will wait until 6.2. Then 6.3 Then, *checks note* we will wait until the new expansion. Then the Media Tour, then...

Following your logic, they should also remove cards. You play one at odd minutes. This isn't 120s, so it needs to go. Moreover, AST depends on other players, so cards are a huge no-no. There, we also reduced how busy AST feels for everyone that doesn't like it. You like how busy it felt? Uh, idk, you'll find something else.
You are missing my point. The reality is that once you beat the DPS check there isn't actually any reason to do more DPS. The first, and only real hurdle, is beating the DPS check once, at which point it gets continously easier.
If one job has a rougher time meeting that check because "they scale harder later" then they, and their team, is arbitrarily taxed.
Speedkills is a player generated challenge which fills no function outside of filling time between patches.

It is relevant that people saying "this change is bad" doesn't actively play the job. A lot of the comments are from DPS saying "oh I like putting abilities under trick", which, while being wholesome, isn't relevant to if this change is better for the NIN players themselves.

We should wait until the patchnotes, and they will give us proper potency changes alongside them. People jump the gun so hard without getting the full picture. Don't strawman my argument.

This isn't my argument. It's disingenuous for you to imply such.
