Updated benchmark

[SchwarzwaelderTorte]

I've seen a couple lodestone comparisons and the fact that mine has not changed during downtime has been soothing to say the least.

I'm very sorry to tell you this but it's because it hasn't been updated yet (go back a few pages and you'll find how you can check).
I'm still waiting for mine to update too, not really sure how the priority works.

I don't know if it has changed with 1.1 but it's important to keep in mind that different regions seem to have different opinions on the character changes (JPN was/still is(?) rather dissatisfied whereas the English speaking side seems to be rather mixed.)

I would be very careful with that kind of statement. (as I've already explained a while ago to someone who shall not be named to spare us all another headache)
You can't really draw conclusions on how different regions work, because we all only see a small fraction of a much bigger community, and within that small fraction you have extremely different ways of interacting with the forums, or social media and what the algorithm gives you etc.

EDIT to add: To develop on that last point, the Japanese forums have had negative experiences of EN players barging in, asking questions, and then going back on the EN forums to say "see? they agree with me!" when it's impossible to make that kind of conclusion based on a small number of replies. I've seen the incident mentioned several times on their side so it seems to be something worth keeping in mind.
