The amount of people trying to cling to the idea that arcane crest is good enough reason for reaper the "selfish" dps to be dead last is kinda funny.

I was healer main for years, you think a 50 potency hot is more useful to me rather than the flat healing buff I can get from mantra instead? Any raidwide aoe I already have mits and healing planned for, arcane crest is totally irrelevant. It's pointless overheal. Mantra has much more impact to me. Esp on a healer check. Even then I could have no monk or reaper and I will heal just fine without any support from either of them. No shortage of players who simply ignore the utility they have.

If they made raids where the support was actually relevant to me as a healer they would suddenly find themselves with jobs being rejected due to being unable to meet certain heal/mit checks. The content can be cleared with any comp so what if I have a blm sam mch and drg? Myself and co healer can handle any damage that is incoming. The support utility the jobs bring is mostly flavour and jobs should not be heavily punished for having it.

And again, arcane crest is not some godly utility. It is a personal shield that so happens to have a small hot. Really don't get peoples desire to keep reaper lower, I've seen it blocked on some p8s pfs. It is unacceptable.

People had the expectation of a selfish dps set by yoshi p and atm that expectation is not being met. The job needs a buff to be closer to samurai as the 'selfish' role it should be in. They also need to fix whatever nonsense is going on with the caster dps and mch. BLM should be way up by samurai too. SMN and RDM should not be too far behind the lowest melee either.
