RDM underperforming by the way of neglect

Welp, it was nice for the short time RDM got to have marginally okay DPS. Back to Rez Mage they go, then.

Also, mobility is not an issue at all.

Very true. And as I am now screeching at my static, *boils in unadulterated rage in p8s door boss stomp first*

Anyways the devs need to fix the actual jobs balances,
the gap between caster/melee is huge,
RDM need obviously a big dmg buff .
MCH a big one too,
SMN need a slight one .

they also need to slightly lower the dps of ninja, monk, drg.
and tank just have an excessively high dps, they need to lower some potency.

They have started a strange policy of buffing rather than nerfing, and I think that's clearly not a good thing, nerfing is also necessary when devs balancing a game.

...How in the blue hell do you figure tanks have excessively high DPS when the gap between them and every DPS job is so wide? They used to have way more damage comparative to the DPS jobs than they do now.

I don't know if you've seen the current tank damage is around 6500-8000 DPS, tanks have never had such a huge damage ratio compared to DPS job.

As much as I find that some adjustments were necessary, some were too much,
Moreover, even among the tank there is a fairly significant difference in DPS between them,
which creates even more problems..''.

some people are currently talking about it, the tank, and some other jobs have crazy bad balancing, and the difference in damage between certain raid compositions is mind-blowing.

the devs may not have to nerf them, but I point out that sometimes certain nerfs like buffs are necessary to keep a certain balance, and rather than slightly nerf 1 or 2 jobs, they preferred to do stupid huge buffs on a whole 'roles'' , like they did with melee in 6.1, and before,
this kind of adjustment is not necessarily a good choice, the proof look at the actual game balance.

RDM, on average and since 2 weeks ago, is contributing only 28 less dps than SMN.... 28... that's 9,194.27 vs 9,222.50... on p8s phase 1... to beat the damage check...
Heck might as well look on phase 2... and the dps score is... 10,055.08 vs 9,907.60... that's RDM beating the SMN on average with 148 more rdps...

I'm sorry, what exactly about this is underpowered?
