Overpowered Classes?

Stuff

For endgame, everything I said is accurate.

I'm not going to spoonfeed you links, just look at the class roll forums or play one of the underpowered classes yourself, Mr. Bard.

let say you got 2 ppl with BiS gear and do know there job like pros
if one job always out dps the other by 3-8k, dont you think one overpowered vs the other? it be better if it by 1k so if you hit the cit like mad you win one time with dps.

That's the point, other classes get left out.

1) If you have a choice between a Warrior or Paladin, you choose the Paladin.
2) If you have a choice between a BLM or Monk, you choose the BLM.
3) If you have a choice between a WHM or Scholar, you chose the WHM.

I haven't heard anyone asking for a "nerf" but I have seen lots of posts asking for buffs to make their classes more viable at endgame. Which is good. (usually)

That list really isn't remotely accurate. I see more parties reserving slots for SCHs/MNKs than WHM/BLM. SMNs are debatedly a little overpowered but not even remotely enough to warrant a nerf. SCHs are borderline OP on fights with little AoE, but almost underpowered on fights with massive AoE. Paladins and Warriors are about on equal footing now, except when Hallowed Ground is necessary, although WAR takes much more skill to play.

Balance of classes has been and always will be an MMO issue. The people that play the stronger classes scream and yell at everyone because they like being at the top. Those below them scream and yell because they don't get picked for the groups. Everyone wants to be the hero, no one wants to be left behind.

I'm not the biggest fan of "nerfing" and prefer to see them add utility or buff classes that are lacking. Issue with that is, if you buff classes to much it forces mechanics into raid bosses that just are not fun. While it sucks, nerfs tend to be the better choice.

There WILL be pvp, ya know.

I don't understand how people can rage about OP jobs. Why don't we just 86 all dps other than BRD? Let's do away with WAR as well we won't need it since it takes more dmg than PLD. Trash SCH too. Oh wait tho there can be different builds for each job? Better let every class only use one set of gear as to not topple the OP stat structure. Please lol.

Everyone has there role, and you job is only as powerful as you make it. There is more to being useful in a fight than straight dps.

lol this game is designed so class stacking is not necessary at all. If your players are competent you can do a wide variety of whatever jobs you want and be perfectly fine in any dungeon.

Honestly i may have to stop playing the game if they were to nerf any class. Most people bitching about the classes needing nerf is because they dont know how to use the class properly to make it an effective class. I have run many many dungeons, some where an archer out ranks me in damage because he's fully attune to it or has all of his supporting abilities, which I do not. The I'll run it with a different bard, with a complete 180, same or identical gear, horrible damage/dps etc. Its not the classes fault, its the people who don't know how to use them properly.

many cases where competent dragoons and Monks out strip my bard by 10 to 15k even when I don't sing a single song.

Sorry to break it to you but you must be doing it wrong
