Please nerf overpowered Jobs before Chaotic Raid

[Themarvin]

As title say, please fix it, before the raid, it is ridicoulous as it is now... it does not require Masters Degree to be able to see the issues.

What is the problem, and what exactly do you propose the solution?

EDIT:

Woah look at that.
Chaotic came out and it turns out RDM is the meta caster because raise is way more valuable than extra DPS.

I'm glad you people aren't in charge of balance decisions.

See every "Pictomancer needs a nerf" thread and basically, reduce the potency of the job across the board - it should not have this much damage, especially not with having decent mobility, ease of play and defensive utility (Tempera Coat/Grassa, Star Prism heals during bursts).

PCT is fine in every single fight aside from FRU.
In every savage and extreme fight (aside from Honey B) it is either middle of the road or 2nd at absolute highest. It is absolutely fine in content without excessive downtime. This problem is exclusive to ultimate content and is not worth burning a job into the ground because of a subset of (poorly) designed fights.

So I ask again, how do you fix it without burning it to the ground in fights that it is perfectly fine in?

The problem is not that ultimates are poorly designed. The problem is that the jobs in XIV are poorly designed and the vast majority of content needs to be designed to accommodate them.

If jobs were less rigid and had more interesting rotations, we wouldn't have this problem. They've designed themselves into a corner that's very difficult to get out of.

People only dislike PCT because it does more DPS than BLM. If BLM was the broken one, nobody would have an issue. Thoughts?

The problem with BLM is that it is a risk reward job. You are always at risk of losing your AF / UI timer, losing Flare Star, losing Ley Lines uptime. These risks plus of course that BLM does not bring anything else than dps demands that it is always top dps. There needs to be a reward, not just the risk.

If a job demands itself as top DPS because of its design then it’s a badly designed job

Especially since FRU biases PCT

[Lilapop]

The reward is on par with top DPS. It's a heavy hitter, just not THE heavy hitter. It's a stereotypical mage. I for one am glad something else has the limelight for awhile, even if it is only in one niche bit of content.
