Some classes have become too overpowered

[Gserpent]

I can say "oh there's so many problems" and no I don't need to "produce discussion points". So many have been made here in this forum by me and by many others. Stop being lazy and go read.

If they're so present, then it should not be troublesome at all for you to go collect them and present them.

You are the one making the claims. It is your job to provide substance to support your claims. This is stuff you learn in like your very first debate class.

who's self buff comes attached with a debilitating debuff that increases the enemies damage against it.

And they get a button that reduces all damage dealt to the DRG by 50% in a huge AOE to counter the debuff you get

Doesn't help much if someone arrives late to the party or is outside its AOE (ranged classes often will be if you aren't focusing on them.) It's not really a problem - it's an obvious place where Skill Expression(tm) is involved in the class - but it *is* something that limits DRG compared to other melee choices.

Honestly, I'd rather have a GNB than a DRG. GNB in DPS stance does substantial damage while being more chufty than DRG, and they both have LBs that are basically worthless against high skill players but have potential to wreck everything if they actually get to make use of them. It feels weird to say that, but it's true - I'd rather see GNB than DRG on my team. Then again, I'd also rather see MNK instead of GNB. So I guess what I'm saying is, I want people to play MNK more.

Well, they apparently thought BLM was really underpowered because it got an absurd number of buffs in the hotfix patch. Their overall damage output and survivability is considerably higher then it was before now, especially during LB thanks to Flare/Freeze getting a 50% potency increase and getting 15 seconds of 20% damage reduction while it's active to boot.

They also added damage mitigation to GNB LB and Honing Dance to make them a little safer to use, though I still would've preferred being able to use purify/recuperate while they're active.

Yeah, this patch has kinda made me just... not want to do CC anymore. Really makes me wonder what the hell is going on in SE HQ right now.

Given your past posts? You're doing your data center a favor lol.

I need 3 more wins to get 2nd Garo mount. It's just been a down hill. I'm losing 5 to get one win if i'm lucky.

As a bard main, I'm happy with the buffs only because its a buff but SE miss the nail with the abilities that need a buff..and damage given.. Bard still the weakest job on crystal point.
