I’ve had plenty of time to reflect on the Stormblood era, it wasn’t was glamorous as you and others love to make it out to be. I thought I missed stance dancing once upon a time or the overall party responsibility with role actions, but it was more of a mess that was countered by easy fights. I remember Suzaku being harder once, it actually wasn’t it was just the jobs.

Diminished and yet it’s going like a champ. Personal though, I get it.

They aren’t perfect with some jobs like Samurai with Kaiten, but they lowered the job difficulty and DPS while mechanics have gotten overall heftier in extreme and beyond, hence the bodycheck memes. It’s mostly evened out just gone about a different way. I’ve had to accept that over tike as well.

Being able to not get screwed over by a bad healer? Sure sounds like Man Mode to me with my juicy axe.

Personal though of course, if you don’t like it then that’s just a darn shame. But like BLM’s that can’t handle the rotation, they got SMN. Not everyone else wants to be lowered down in the tankard either so it’s a simple thing to reflect. Hope you’ll find your place in Eorzea~.
