It's too weak in comparison to SAM/MNK. It's more a middle of the pack with the Melee.

Honestly the buffs can seem good but you still have the drifting burst window that screws it over and it's even more susceptible to rng crit where now you want both PH and Communio to crit for max damage.

So they are pushing up the numbers without addressing any of it's actual problems.

They nerfed it's utility, then slight buffs to the filler combo you only use 20% of the time and they buffed your 2 minute big GCDs. PH is a sizable increase but Communio potency increase is underwhelming.

I don't know what the hell the buff on Lemure Slice is even for. It's still only worth half a Bloodstalk. 200/220 potency vs. 340/400 potency? Give me a break.

They hope to strike a balance between burst and nonburst damage but I have a feeling they just made it worse.
