I actually think this will be a double dps expansion, unless we dont get 2 full jobs. We got a healer in EW and a tank in Shadowbringer, we haven't had a magical dps since stormblood and ranged physical role is in the worst shape out of the 3 dps roles and we haven't had 2 dps since StB. Except for tweaks in their role the tanks and healers are pretty well balanced, we have 4 and 4, we have 5 melee dps but 3 magical and 3 ranged phys. IF they do a double dps with those roles, we would have 4/4/5/4/4, not including limited.

They're not going to release a expansion without a new melee. Them's the rules.

And where are these rules written down at? Cause Ive never seen these rules.

From Yoshida himself, also 2 DPS was dumb according to him too. So there you go, and no I'm not going to pull up year old quotes.

I know it's easy to say after the fact, but I also predicted SHB's Tank+RDPS and EW's MDPS+Healer. All you have to do is look forward to predict this, they're not going to make other roles wait any longer than 2 expansions. Like if we get double DPS in 7.0 that'd mean healers will have to wait 3 expansions for a new toy because a spot is always reserved for DPS and they're not going to do a Tank+Healer expansion, so that's a big no no.

It's always going to rotate between 1 melee Tank/MDPS and one role that hasn't gotten something new past 2 expansions.
