Getting a nerf? You've clearly not been playing long jobs don't get nerfed lol others get brought up. Don't spread miss information, most of this made no sense to upper end content. Only support casters are weaker than melee by contrast...blm is only weaker if there is heavy movement vs melee. This was uneducated and click baity.

Yeah, dark mind or oblation should be changed into a sustain ability, just for their quality of life.

The second I saw High Fire only doing 100 Pot, I knew "Oh shit they really nerfed BLM" I for one don't mind MP not being tied to server ticks (Classes should not be reliant on abstract 'meta' concepts like server ticks, or framerate.) But yeah not all the changes were executed properly.

I've been a BLM main since they added the Job System to 1.0 and i genuinely hate these changes and how bad it feels to play it now and how weak it is. I only play BLM as I just love the aesthetic and playstyle. I hate moving unless really need to xD If they only do mana regen fix for low lvls and potency buffs and no proper fixes to how spells work, BLM will get little to no Savage clears :( How could they mess up BLM this badly? They've made good small improvements every expansion since 1.0 and now i would prefer 1.0 way to play Blm or have them rip every Dawntrail abilities and changed out and bring back Endwalker BLM with potency buffs and try reworking it again for 8.0

Personally I don't think PCT needs a nerf, I think jobs like BLM and SAM need buffs. Picto still does have to cast which to me, makes it easier to screw up than melee and no rez means it needs to still do close to BLM DPS if they buff it. I personally think BLM should have the highest DPS ceiling since, especially after the changes, they're not easy to play well with how much movement they lost vs how much movement is needed in a lot of fights now. And SAM should be up there since all they have is damage so I don't think melees with buffs should have a higher DPS potential than them but I'm against nerfs in general unless a job is doing something so crazy it breaks encounters, yes, but whether nerfs or buffa to other jobs, I think they should be up there with melee, behind BLM but not by a lot. I'll also ask for buffs before nerfs though personally.

@@mismismism I think it’s a lil too strong overall, ex2 its top rdps above all jobs, which to balance things out I guess they’ll have to buff the other casters quite a bit and probably going to lead to buffs for every job across the board since they like melee having more raw dps which leads to a nerf to picto (indirectly)

I hope they give the other tanks some more dps, the Gunbreakers are getting full of themselves again.

With the job change patch notes. Pictomancer DPS will be more normalized due to the fact that people are effectively skill canceling their Subtractive Palette after casting Comet in Black. It's not gonna nerf it into the ground but definitely bring it closer to where BLM is in terms of DPS effectiveness.

7.01 patch notes just dropped. they literally just buffed warrior. what the fuq is even tank balance.

Shouldn't be any sort of reasonable balance that has ranged DPS staying on par with melee DPS. That's just bad job balance, because it'll mean with two equal choices in DPS, you're not going to take the melee DPS with highest risk. PCT needs to be down there with SMN.

One Question, you are saying Picto should be doing Rdm Damge right, or maybe even less. Why would you play/take a Picto over a Rdm who can res while doing more dmg? Whats the difference between Picto and a Dragoon who got a buff for the group same as Picto, same for Ninja and Reaper. Why should they do more dmg than a Picto ? Crazy ppl keep thinking Mages or Mages who are not BLM should do less dmg than Melee's.

If all jobs can output 100%, damage should be going to be higher for the hardest ones to play and who doesn't have any buffs to the party. So pretty much, Pics ease of play as well as lot of buffs, pics damage should be mid range, maybe even before RDM but above SMN If you would be willing to dump all your party buffs, then you would still be under BLM as pic is so easy to play.

@@ChandaniAranka So Picto should do less damage than a caster who can res? Also why shouldnt Picto do more Rdps than a Melee? You can almost have 100% uptime as Melee without any problem, as caster you have to Cast and Slidecast to safezones etc. it just makes no sense that ppl keep saying that Melee should do more dmg cause its "harder". We have 2 Support Caster and 2 "full" Dps Caster. I get that BLM should do higher Ndps but for rdps they should do the same in the end. No point in nerfing Picto to do as little dmg as Rdm.
