It happens to them pretty frequently. They're used to it.

I mean.... it took them long enough to react to their forum username at least..xd

I feel like the devs goal here is to make everything more actionish since this is what the kids nowadays want. By the time the next expansion comes out all classes are mobile and run around like Bard and just perma shoot shit so the kids don't get bored and no longer have to watch TikTok Videos while playing to stay focused.

I'm surprised it took that long. Was funny for a while.

Now I'm kind of worried on what else is going to be effected.

I won't hold my breath. I'm expecting similar changes to other busy jobs like SAM, BRD and RPR.

I almost certainly expect if anything does happen gameplaywise it will be making another job easier. So I'm not really looking forward to it.

They've already dumbed down BRD multiple times now, so who knows.

That being said, I remember when people all said "there's no more room for them to dumb down MCH even further", and somehow they still managed that lol.

Speaking of bard, quoting myself from another thread:

- Burst shot into Refulgent arrow is now a guaranteed combo. Ladon Bite into Shadowbite is now a guaranteed combo.
- Repertoire has been deleted, and PP/Bloodletter/RoD are now simple OGCDs on a 15s recast.
- Refulgent Arrow / Shadowbite now grant 5 gauge.
- Apex Arrow is now on a 60s strict recast.
- Radiant Finale now grants 80 gauge.
- Dots consolidated into a single one and IJs has been removed.
- Songs are now exclusively used to decide which OGCD is available (PP/BLoodletter/RoD), and to unlock Radiant Finale as currently.

Please look forward to it.

Those oGCDs better be the same ability with different particle effects, or you're allowing a dangerous amount of choice and room for optimization in the song order.
