Thread: DNC 7.0 is in its worst state.

Yeah it sucks, damage is the focus for this expansion I guess but at least Last Dance is very fun but god I hate Finishing move.
The overcapping is also very annoying and the level 100 ability is very boring, but this is pretty much all jobs in the game rn. I would of much preferred level 100 being something tied to the buffing identity of DNC like a temporary extra dance partner or some stronger buff for your current one, hell I would even be okay with finishing move not having the dance mechanic as stupid as that is if it did something unique for your dance partner but no it was just simplifying an easy job to be even easier. I hate that Bard is the best phys range job right now, its literally the only job in this game I hate to play.

DNC should be the job that is responsible for 2 min and 1 min buff window.. instead of giving all jobs 1 raid buff

I am so/so on this, I don't mind some jobs having burst raid buffs I think AST/NIN/SMN should keep their raid buffs at least so that each role has a buff identity job. I would also like BRD to lose its burst buffs and just have it focus on having consistent group buffs, while DNC has burst group buffs and a consistent DP buffing identity. I hate the 2min meta but I don't think raid buffs are a bad thing theres just way too many, if phys range isn't allowed to do high damage it should be the objectively best buffing role in the game to compensate and no other jobs ESPECIALLY DPS jobs should come anywhere close to how good the buffs phys range give if this is how they want it to be.

1- Alignment.
2- buffs for DPS non supportive jobs will make it less impactful for supportive DPS jobs
3- easier to manage because it is 1 person job
4- if dps focused job have utility it will outperform selfish DPS jobs of how effective they are, specially if it also has healing (balance).

1. Alignment existed prior to the standardised CDs
2. The ones I listed that should keep raid buffs are supportive DPS, NIN was literally the support DPS of HW and SMN has low damage output so it can be the buffer of magical DPS if it keeps the low damage.
3. We had 8 years of inconsistent Raid buff timers from multiple jobs unless you want everything to be braindead PF based no thanks, its not your job to manage other peoples raid buffs now and it never will be.
4. All DPS role jobs are dps focused only tanks/healers are not dps focused even when NIN was the most support focused DPS in the game it was still mainly prioritised on dealing damage more than it was on aggro management.
