Just Nerf Picto

[Supersnow845]

it's honestly really boring, I can't get into it. I fall asleep while playing it. I genuinely have more fun playing a Healer, at least you have some form of DoT to manage there. The class has so little buttons, anytime I play it. I am continuously thinking I'm missing something and doing something wrong with how little I'm pressing but...nope...I'm not.

Please tell me this is sarcasm

DOT management on a healer, now I’ve heard it all

It's not, I genuinely have more fun keeping Dia on the boss than I do playing PCT.

The flow of Picto is completely broken because of the pictograms. It's just not very fun imho.

Then I guess its a good thing there are 20 other jobs in the game if someone doesn't like picto's motif gameplay.

Removing an aspect of a job to appeal to everyone is how we ended up with each job feeling like copies of one another.

They can't nerf Picto, the one guy on the job design team whose favourite job it is would be upset.

Let's buff every job in the game (including Picto) and further worsen the entire game's power creep instead.

PCT is insanely strong solely on Ultimates, because the job heavly benefits from downtimes and FRU has... a lot of downtimes. If you take a look at every other content in this game, you'll notice PCT is not always top1, the ranking board is not full of PCT or the disparity between a PCT and another DPS job is not as glaring as it is in FRU (especially in COD).
The real issue is the job having a DPS comparable to a BLM while having SMN party utility, they should just make a choice instead of having both of these in a single job

PCT never drops below 4th, and is top dog in M2S.

Oddly, the only place PCT fails hard is CoD, and that might be because of the sheer number of PCT and the current dominant strat heavily punishing ranged with a party buff in Alliance B.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but the disparity between PCT and other job is not as insane as it is in FRU, so I don't see the problem. We always had top meta DPS each tier. I agree PCT should not be this high with so many party utility, but it's not overly broken DPS wise compared to other DPS, in every other content that is not FRU
Now, it would be a problem if PCT was extremely ahead of every other DPS in every content of the game, like in FRU. But it's not the case. I think they should either nerf its support ability so their DPS would make sense, or just nerf their DPS (which they will never do unfortunately)

PCT is just awful to play in COD, I think that's why it's that low (there's very few players playing it, compared to every other content in the game)

No, you got it quite right. The disparity only exists in FRU, it rotates about in every other fight on the top 4 DPS being different jobs.

Granted, it was designed with the support in question, else it would not be able to complete with BLM as a higher dmg caster, so it is functioning how they intended, just sadly a lot of people are foaming at mouth over 1 fight data.
