The Impact of the Two-Minute Meta on Balance & Job Diversity

[pympcakes]

There are raider arguments for why it's bad but making everything about burst and endgame content tends to make the leveling process another problem entirely. Which is also a concern. Taking a large amount of jobs through the level sync process is just awful. Like the jobs don't get fun until like 70 or mid 80. That's not good.

This is often lost, but with lower level content such a big part of this game it's actually a pretty big deal to feel good (strict balance is less important). Level 50 ninja can't refresh without mudras (then getting two ways shortly after), bard missing songs, summoner feels incomplete until 86, paladin no charge until 74, healers are blah, etc...

Actually since I started this game in 3.4, I got to experience NIN in level 50 synced content when they still played a lot more like they intended at level 50, and I really like how NIN feels and changes at 50 without Armor Crush. It's not like I prefer no Armor Crush or anything, but I just appreciate how much the way you play NIN changes at different levels. You essentially give up a Raiton to do another Huton, but you want to do Huton right before it expires without clipping Mudra cooldowns to maximize duration. It makes it really fun in a fight by fight basis, like synced ex trials, and forces you to look at NIN differently. I enjoy it!
