Golseph: 6 years, 4 tanks, 1 rant, 0 hair classic

natetsaint7023: Is he getting hair buff ?

AlvinY4kitori: he is at the bottom of the HPS chart (hairs per second)

KumoKitzuo: Its fucking wild that people dont understand that the ammount of utility a job has dictates the ammount of damage it does, the more utility a job has, the less damage it does

dukezaphias1730: the only change that melee need is rpr buff changed from 3 to 5%. used to be that rpr was unique in its buff lasting 20s but since they made all buffs 20s they forgot to buff arcane circle to 5%

JoeSmitty69420: Rework MCH :(

kevinkeninson2784: I feel that raiding has ruined the balance of FFXIV. Jobs have been balanced for very specific rotations, there is no play styles other than optimal and wrong. The damage requirements in these raids is so tight, that every job has to have the same damage output or else there is no longer a reason to use the weaker ones. And on top of that, the classes get simpler and simpler to use to accommodate having to memorize 30 minute long "fights" that devolve into standing in the perfect spots without a single mistake, while mashing the simplest rotations. And if it isn't all optimal, then it's immediate failure. Every other form of content in this game has suffered from the focusing on these raids. Jobs need to be rethought from the ground up. It reminds me of when EV training got popular in Pokemon. People optimized Pokemon, and it drained the fun out of it. Optimal damage should come through player skill, not your base rotation. And as it stands the skill ceiling for doing optimal damage is low. It's just a matter of doing it. I had fun with 2.0 and HW, but I feel the games priorities are out of whack. The over world needs to be fun again, and not a backdrop for rolling to new story missions. FATES are a solid idea that needed to evolve years ago, and nothing in this game has evolved, only adjusted.

saiseihime: They definitely didn't overbuff BLM, as the cornerstone of triple ranged (and often the hypercarry of said comps) it still needs to be able to justify its spot over

Nickleos: Advocating for 1 minute Lion Heart, and being able to Renzokuken combo (Gnashing combo) together without interruption warms my FF8 loving heart lol. If only SE would do this.

ruka9700: they 100% overnerfed picto Though I feel like Picto shouldn't have a raid buff.

lagua5363: as a BLM main, having a raise makes literally 0 sense, it's a ndps job while rdm is more support oriented, not all casters needs to have the same ability for all to be balanced.

sakiefox7250: People constantly saying black mage needs a nerf. They have nothing but their damage.

Pct has a group shield and raid buff.

Smn and rdm have buffs and raise.

You're sacrificing slight damage for utility and buffs

fadedflame9953: Tbh 90 percentile logs are also a bad benchmark. Been raiding enough already as to know that anything past 75 involves crit rng, kill time manipulation or both

keanu7318: This game is so fucking balanced compared to others its insane how spoiled ff14 players are

CaptnMarvelous: While I do think we've gone too far in homogenization, I want to remind people that everyone wants "unique jobs" until their special baby boy isn't near the top of the DPS charts.

Everyone says

aohdakibussubara8820: Drk is always a sadge class

zephyrus7258: Xenos is trying to homogenize chat

outlawloner09: GNB needs a buff. Strummer better wise up xffing

akridx5712: Hot Take. Yeah, as a healer main, I hate red mages. Like, let me do my job. I see someone die. Let me raise them. Like if a lot of ppl die at once, then I understand the help, but if its just one guy down, let me raise. They just be flexing at this point. So tired of wasting a swiftcast when they can just spam that shiz

obamaorb7426: Gunbreaker is the hardest tank in the same way that reaper is the hardest melee. In other words, neither are hard, it's just that being forced out of melee range for 1 GCD, especially in burst, feels horrendous solely because of how the gauge generation works

RedComet25: You speakfroma position of having thousands of hours in the game.

Calling things easy because you have so much frame of reference. This is my first serious MMO outside of new world and paladin does feel pretty complex. I have no idea when I'm supposed to do certain things. They do a poor job teaching players how their rotation interacts together. I love difficulty in games I hate when games hold your hand completely but when you have zero frame of reference a little guidance would be nice.

acroshendo88: Lionheart every minute? Sign me up! Baldie for president!

prisma_clr: I'm not a fan of tanking, but Paladin is my favorite just for the Knight aesthetic. I wish they'd buff it or something to get people using it

andycortez5004: all the rant but not the hair xddTree

MiddieTheFish: The Bald Prophet has spoken. Check 7.4 patch notes for GNB.

Ktjnn: I'd love to see a compilation of Xeno having correct takes on combat/job balance. I remember an episode of mogtalk around stormblood era where he said Paladin should block Magic and then they added it, for example.

littywitty5867: As a monk, I love how we’ve gone the whole expac as a top 3 dps job and everyone just doesn’t care. Life is good
