I completely agree, what is the most frustrating to me is that they can take a job that was actually really good, and yes it had some flaws to tweak to improve it a bit, but it was, I'd say 90% solid.

They scrap it entirely, and replace it with a gimped version of a BLM/SMN. So now it has no identify or uniqueness; it's just the handicapped version of those jobs. There's, now, literally no reason to run in and melee (as a melee job).

I actually started winning more matches trying to exclusively NOT melee and throw fireballs and time my once a min LB on guards. Super lame and unfun playstyle. I'm not going to say what the job is, anyone whose tasted the nasty rework knows exactly what it is already.

BUT no one can be bothered to fix the mentioned above stuff, or tweak it at all. Like I've lost count how many posts of people disliking and hating DRK (salt) NIN (LB) SAM (LB) there are literally TONS of them. We're not even gonna tweak it.... like at all...

NOPE instead we're gonna trash what was a good functioning job that no one asked for any of those changes. AT BEST I've found requested tweaks to like 1 skill maybe two. This is changed SO MUCH that it's literally having deleted the old class and replaced it with a new job and gave it the same name.

I'll just spell it out, MNK should be in Ranged-DPS; it's not a melee anymore. It has no reason to melee, literally, you're 'reeeeeeeeee'ing your team trying to melee with it and doing your Phantom Rush that they made take, what feels like, an hour to resolve the damage, AND just as extra salt in the wound nerfed ITS AoE.

I'll ask this, are there ANY other AoEs in PvP that do less damage past the first?? I think this is the first I've seen tbh, correct me if I'm wrong.

tl;dr
seriously they need to focus on actual feedback and fix those things--cheese 1 shot LB are not fun and braindead DRK draw in has had it's time, it needs to be less affective so other jobs have a reason to be played, the volume of DRKs in all matches all the time should speak to the fact ya might have it overturned a bit...
