The state of the job balance is blatantly obvious its the job balance team's laziness. And the last time the job balance been this bad was in Heavensward as a note.
Does the devs know pf is slowly leaning toward 3 Melee dps for an easier damage check? 3 F$^#ING MELEE!!!???

First of all the biggest problem is the size of the hitboxes, go back to Stormblood savage raids their hit boxes are much smaller which made it significantly harder to greed melee uptime which made it a fair balance between casters having to greed their casts and melee having to greed their uptime, BUT NOW the uptime for melees are handed on a silver platter not needing any skills to get that uptime while especially in this tier casters having the hardest time with the mechanics forcing them to run back and fourth. BLM should always be on par with SAM (*cough* gutted job) or doing more at Max barse there should be no questions about this (p7s its understandable to be lower).

Secondly you can see which jobs are being neglected and left behind in the dust. Number one in this category has to be MCH a job which they don't know what the heck to do with so just giving random job adjustments that's not even helping the job because all the other jobs are getting an uber buff on top of this. For the tank we see PLD and WAR who are falling extremely far behind GNB and DRK (go watch xeno's stream/clip for p8s for an example) "THE JOB BUFFS AINT ENOUGH"



WHAT DO U MEAN RANGED ATTACK WHILE DEALING WITH MECHANICS HAVE U SEEN THE BOSS HITBOX DEVS!!!!???

And lastly SMN which is a split between the player base some likes it some hates it (I dont like it personally since it feels like an empty husk) The damage between RDM and SMN should be the same. In this case SMN should never be doing much more especially with how braindead the job is compared to RDM. Im not talking about SAM because I gave up on SE being how ignorant they are (telling us we will do something depending on player feed back which they didn't "showing their lack of dedication toward raiding player base")

●The FF14 SE Job Balance team needs to get off their lazy ass and get to work ACTUALLY TRYING OUT THE JOBS.
They said they "play tested" the raid tier. There are 2 answers to this: either they tested but only with the out performing jobs, or they haven't play tested and blatantly lying to us looking at first world streams to get an idea of the job balance.
