dead jobs

[Nihility]

you see everything sometimes but the problems are pretty glaring

machinist is a greedy dps that just doesn't compete with the other greedy dps numbers at all
bard is a weird nightmarish mashup of nonsense, who wants to manage DoT's and songs and procs and more all at once for such minimal gains? Dancer just does it better
Monk is actually kind of hilarious because viper is like... right there. Make a side attack button and a rear attack button that just change with the forms instead of greying out half a bar worth of buttons
I honestly think monk and dragoon are more rare because they need like an entire bar of buttons just for their basic combos, they definitely aren't difficult to understand jobs. Why deal with that when samurai and reaper and ninja just do it better?

hoenstly... I think the whole problem stems from them trying to make every job do the exact same thing with the exact same rotational timers. They're homogenizing everything to such an extent it's just boiled down to "which one does the thing best?' because they're all just doing the same "thing" nothing is special about any job

I half-expect them to just merge everything into one role each for homogenization's sake at this point. One Caster class, one pDPS, one rDPS, one Tank, one Healer. Add to that the possibility of having adjustable skills à la BLU and the option to glamour your weapons/VFX and boom!

None because census shows jobs are mostly equal

You can check info on clear rates in some fights on the funny spreadsheet site, if you're curious.
BLM is dead last atm, then it's MNK, and then NIN, though the BLM is about 25% below MNK and NIN (that are close together).
Does not extrapolate for all content tho, but gives you an idea.

That gap's probably gonna grow when savage opens unless BLM and PCT get big number changes(up and down respectively).

Not exactly surprising.
They killed non-standard lines from Endwalker, made it less flexible than Picto and also made it deal significantly less damage.
