    Overpowered Classes?

    Just a thought I had. Why are so many people up in arms about one class being overpowered over another?

    Aside from “class stacking” why would anyone call for a nerf of a class that deals damage or heals better then another?

    Can people really complain about something being OP in a PVE game?
    Is that possible?

    When the game is party-dependent and you aren't getting any parties because everybody wants the OP class in their party, yes, they can.

    So roll the op class? 'Specially since you don't have to start over (as in remaking your char =T) It's PVE for pete's sake. Find some friends, play with them.

    Well, I have war which is almost 40 and if you gear it right and get good upgrades you can perform just as good as the pld, because I have done just as good as a pld. Its about how you do your combos in succession to get massive hate generation. I can bust off chains and combos so fast that the pld is like "good lord man, I can't even get hate!"

    Its not all about your hate generation, its about who, in the end, is easier to heal and takes the least amount of damage. That would be paladin.

    Taking AK for one simple instance, I have to Cure bomb warriors, paladins I can just cast Aquildon every so often :/

    Sorry but you have not witness end game content yet.
    WAR dies in 1 round in coil.

    -20% dmg (PLD) > +15% heal (WAR). Add to that Paladin got a lot defensive buff + block.
    It doesn't take a genius to see how bad WAR is. It would be fine if WAR was the only able to off tank but that's not the case. PLD can off tank (slightly less efficient) but they can do it.

    Suggesting balance doesn't matter in a co-op game makes no sense at all. Of course it's possible.

    Co- Op? Oh you mean those craptastic dungeons. All people want for those is for you not to be under geared. They don't care if your class is labeled "OP" if you're in all whites, they don't want you.

    "Ermehgerd he burned a mob down faster than me" It's a mob, who cares.

    I think people are psychologically programmed to call for nerf and cry about OP classes even without realizing that currently FFXIV is just a PVE game. I think people just need to pop some pills and hold on to their urges till PVP part of the game is released.
