It took the devs this long to realize "oh snap, war can't do damage"? It took this long to be like "oh we made all tanks burst except pld?

War and pld were like 500 dps below. Thats not "oh they can't make things perfectly balanced" kind of thing. (Buff still not enough).

They clearly "recognize" that DHC on war is an issue, but they simply refuse to fix warrior. The whole reason for war's change in 4.2 was to NOT CARE ABOUT BUFFS. And it had to do more dps to compensate. The devs don't seem to understand the past.

Its not only damage, but utility. Holmgang is essentially useless with all the bleeds (Living Dead, too). 8 makes invuln essentially obsolete, yet didn't produce good timing on the third for cds in doorboss? It's like the devs don't play this game (clearly they don't).

Also, you are incorrect: there's a dps check in 7S. People struggled with it (and having any of the bad jobs didn't help.

Even if you claim people are bad, you balance the content around the average, not the cream of the crop. and even then, many PC players have "cheat codes" which helps them focus more on their rotation, while console gets left behind. It's more than that even. PC has more visibility, so certain "blindspots" in mechanics don't effect them like they do with console gamers. Why are they making mechs harder on console?

Also, devs make mistakes all the time. The fact that they were condescending by saying "we didn't realize we were too good". Theres no way if they were that good they'd miss imbalance this bad.

There are multiple things wrong with this tier.
The nerf isn't an actual nerf. That's their lazy "bandaid" to "balance" the jobs, bc they need more time.
They werent trying to be condescending, the wording on it made people easily believe that they were. Just like how easy it is to misinterpret intention based on the internet constantly. Im guilty of it and so is everyone else.
