Picto makes the game less fun

[Sol_Seppy]

As a MCH main I kinda understand where you're coming from, this tier especially I've been told numerous times to switch off MCH to play DNC (never BRD mind you, which is the actual "meta" pick) both jokingly (which gets old and annoying) and in serious static situations. MCH isn't in a great place, neither is BLM. While BLM can deal damage tantamount to a melee even now, it's still not where it deserves to be.

Because of the complexity of the job I genuinely think BLM should be one of the highest damage dealers, and definitely far ahead of Picto who has oodles and oodles of party utility.

I think for the most part the balancing on this game is decent, for an MMO. But there are a few outliers that really need some love right about now... :c

BRD isn't even in a good spot as a 'meta' pick. Its personal damage is unacceptably low -- even for a phys ranged with a raid buff, and it is plagued by janky timing issues as its GCDs, and oGCDs crash into each other at really any speed, and its probaly the most severely punished job for dying. These issues need to be fixed.

Idk, I just meant that generally in high end play BRD is more desirable because of its output + raidbuffs. Are any of the phys-range in a great place tho? No.

Huh, I've been told it's actually DNC that's desirable because it further boosts the already absolutely ridiculous VPR. Might be a DC/region meta difference, I guess.

BRD overtakes DNC when everyone gets gear because it’s buffs are AOE

DNC is better early in a tier when you feed gear to the designated dance partner
