job balancing discussion (1.22a-hotfix)

[Geo]

No they just listed that way because the actions are learned from that class/job.
For the classes one still can be used by the Jobs as usual with those new changing coming in today's hotfix.



Right now, still might be useless. With level cap increase to 60-65 with new actions/abilities from own/other class/job might turn the game around for PLD.
We only see the game right now unlike devs looking at the big picture.

Thanks for clearing up.

I really don't see the point of the BRD change. The class is already overlooked by many groups because it doesn't generate enough DPS to be useful, why reduce it even more?

i'm not sure what planet your living on but BRD is anything but an overlooked class. Its unfair that brd is able to chainstack LS>WS>LS>WS etc without waiting where a good mele DPS has to time his ws's to not interrupt its AA

Also why would BRD need to have superior DPS capabilities with the support songs it provides already its pretty strong as a job on its own.

Yep just sing. All we really need, they're lowest tier DPS.
