    I can see it now...

    "ATTENTION FFXIV PLAYERS.

    We have heard you concerns regarding the current state of job balance, we are aware that some jobs may be preforming better than intended.

    Thus, coming in 7.5, We have plans to buff other jobs to the higher preforming jobs level. Please look forward to it."

    Realistically I was content if their party buff got changed to a selfish buff but honestly I think that they're just gonna have to cut the potencies. This job just has everything. It has good mobility (like who seriously thought that smudge, needed such a low CD AND free Sprint?), Mitigation, and Party Buffs. If they want this job to contend with the top dogs like SAM and BLM it shouldn't offer support options.

    SAM isn't top dog though? Its been towards bottom of all the jobs as of late. That is why DRG/MNK has been the top melee DPS for most the tier with a few trades with VPR, Cause again. rDPS matters more than how much non-buff damage you provide to the group. So I do hope you are joking about SAM being top dog, as it is not even in top 5 of all the jobs, least of all I can understand poking at competing with VPR/BLM, which is what is happening as intended.

    It is how it is designed, which is the ironic point cause if you remove the raid utility it will not perform to their designed intention is compete. So unless you want to see it get even higher potency skills? Cause that is what would happen, they would instead buff its potency to compete, as right now without that potency buff with removed utility, PCT would be doing in realm of SMN/RDM making it pointless to bring compared to something that can rez.

    I really wish they just nerfed Picots crazy potencies. I'm literally not even seeing gaols on PA in TEA even with 2-3 deaths because Pictomancer damage is just way too high, Alexander just dies in the middle of almighty judgment. I can only imagine how abysmally easy the dps checks are in UCOB and UWU nowdays when you have Pictomancer and Sumonner in your parties. The power creep really set itself in, and it will only get worse for the older ultimates. It'll also be straight up bad for the game if they actually buffed every single dps to compensate for Pictos dmg.

    They really need to stop with this job homogenization and the blatant attempts to make the game even more braindead.

    It's funny that Yoshida and Devs said they wanted to make Dawntrail more harder than Endwalker, but now just 1 job is making things easier than before. Savage was made easier as they tuned savage to 7.0 damage numbers, but PCT was overtuned, but rather than bring that 1 job back in line after they buffed it at launch compared to how it was during the media tour and forgot to recalculate the fights themselves, savage became easier xD

    At this point is clear Dawntrail and its design for boss fights cannot be balanced due to PCT. So remove the Job until 8.0 when all others gets their so-called uniqueness reworks xD

    They can now just as well remove Limit Break as a feature as people do not care about losing their gauge generation.

    They specifically changed the media tour potencies because the job was basically non functioning in the media tour

    Unless you consider spamming rainbow drip in AOE and never pressing hammer or starry below 92 as “functioning”

    As a healer main in this game for nigh on 14 years all I can say is that I’m tired. My role has been eroded of complexity and expression for 3 expansions. I’ve watched the tanks do my role for me for 2 expansions and my feedback and critiques continue to fall on deaf ears.

    I have no idea who modern healers are designed for but I know now it’s not me. This is the first expansion I’m truly considering dropping the healer role and not returning, so if that was the goal- congratulations I guess

    The won't nerf Picto. Why? Because it's so damn boring to play. No one would play it if the job wasn't so over tuned, and they can't have their brand new flagship job dropped by most of the players not even a year into the new expansion.

    Well this is the first time I’ve heard someone call PCT boring

    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.
