Button bloat and patch balance

[remiff]

I personally just lost faith with what they did to Summoner. I'm going on ahead and make a prediction the 4th caster will have similar mobility than Summoner because a lot of people just enjoy the new Summoner when it isn't a real caster anymore.

They ruined the caster playstyle of Summoner
They butchered the identity of Samurai
They keep buffing melees (buffing Reaper being behind other melees when they buffed melees who were behind Reaper earlier)
They keep failing to understand why people are upset about Machinist

You can clear with any comp but in theory, let's be real, you'll never see double ranged physical in a raid comp. The flex spot is autoed to a second melee or Black Mage.

Even if currently the devs are not going in the right direction, because there is clearly a lack or a total absence of listening despite the feedback from the players around the world, I think we must always keep hope that they will reconsider their decisions, currently the melee dps are too strong, especially the ninja outdps everyone,the summoner is only a shadow of himself, the casters have a rather bad balance, and the machinists and sam can still have tears of salt, especially the machinist. :s

Once a great and wise friend of mine told me that "Hope" was a terrible plan as if hope fails, you have no backup plan.

If it was just one thing I wouldn't mind too much but I believe Endwalker is just the worst expansion balancing wise.

It's good to have good faith and hope but it's been 6.0, 6.1 and 6.2 now. Machinist is still rotten bad. Black Mage is still getting favoritism. Melees get buff over buffs because they don't want a worst melee lol :<

I know it well, but endwalker has been a balancing mess since its release, they change their vision of a ''good balance'' with each extension, and they just don't listen to the players' opinion since endwalker's release,
the previous expansion the bard was the ugly duckling of the devs, except now it's the casters ''blm not included, machinist, and all complaints are totally ignored,
of course they don't listen the feedback from a lot of jobs and not only the jobs that I mentioned.

However the community managers do their jobs correctly by sending our feedback.

Endwalker? It's been a mess and a problem since Shadowbringers.. us tank mains told everyone it was going to be a problem when they start to homogenize our classes.

First they came for the tanks and you(not specifically you) didn't care. Then they came for the healers and you didn't speak up. Now they've came for you the DPS and your fighting the changes in your own because you abandoned your other allies when they were fighting the good fight!!

I can read this and immediately bet 100$ you have not once in your life cared about any real life social issue that didn't grieve you personally. lmao, what's this scorned gamer citizen nonsense even

Well you'd be paying someone 100$ as ive advocated for many causes that didn't effect myself. Might i suggest you donate that 100 to the Trevor project or possibly a funding for women who need abortions? As a white gay male I'm sure any of those in need would gladly thank you for their support

If you ask a lot of DRK mains when the job was ruined they would say 4.0.

I'm not sure why people keep defaulting to this nonsense. Everyone can play every job in the game, every dumbing down affects everyone. The reason why not everyone speaks up is because if someone doesn't main a particular job, they can trust that people that do will be the first ones to speak up about the issues with far more knowledge and experience. It doesn't mean that people don't care.

DRK was my main join during Stormblood and I left it during Shadowbringers due to it becoming WARlite. So yes I'll agree that 4.0 was what ruined the job and the lackluster additions in endwalker like enchanced Unmend just further placed it into the coffin.. tho I will admit the changes to living dead were in the right direction but not enought to fix years of the job being ignored or downgraded
