Report from Aether. Still no sign of the regulars. Other oddities...

AST is still putting up big numbers, and the eye test suggests it's still the top job. Funny thing is, not that many people are playing it. Is this true on other DCs? Given the potential of AST stacking I suspect we're nowhere near to seeing its potential yet.

Tanks. An endangered species. On multiple occasions I've been the only tank on the entire team. I like a challenge, but this suggests a balance issue.

BRD. Currently the most-played job, putting up big K/A/Dmg numbers.

Ranged vs melee. Both in job frequency and stats, this is currently a ranged meta, and it's not even close.

Based on past experience, my guess is meta evolution will amplify most of these imbalances. I credit the devs with moving many things in the right direction in 7.11, but I can't see the new hit detection ever feeling good.

Anyone finding notable differences on other DCs? Any word from JP?

Thx
