They should have had this in mind FOR EW and made SAM different FOR EW and then players could decide then and there if they want to continue with the job.

Instead we all gear up and are having a great time only for this to happen. It's just sad.
Not only did they not address it with EW, they made it WORSE by giving us a 2400 potency one-two punch with Kaiten+Ogi and Kaeshi Ogi. Then their solution to RPR damage dominance (which they should have seen coming long before launch) was to buff Midare/Kaeshi and Ogi/Kaeshi, the biggest contributors to the crit variance issue, by 10% and 12.5% respectively.

If they had given us another oGCD to weave instead of Ogi, and if they had buffed our basic combos instead of Midare/Ogi, we never would have been in this situation in the first place.

The job devs seem so directionless. They keep digging holes, then leveling the whole field to get themselves out of them.
