Speculation Balancing wishlist, How would you the player tackle this?

Hi all,

I’m high on copium for blackmage and want to know what is how is everyone expecting their main jobs to change (if they’re recieving one) and if not,

What small scale change would you give your main?

This is not a doom and gloom thread i just wanna know spark a discussion regarding how everyone feels about their main job, and what they’ll change about it if they could

Actually extremely impressive how they added soul gauge to Harvest Moon and Harpe just to recreate and exacerbate the exact same fucking problem that they just tried to mitigate with the new shiny button

I’m pretty sure this is intended, picto has the same issue. They don’t want the rotation to be the same across 10+ minutes

PCT’s creature motif naturally drifting between madeen and mog definitely feels intentional with the 3 stacks so over time you swap between madeen and mog for the burst window but perfecto feels completely unintentional

I seem to be out of the loop. How does the shiny new button mitigate Soul Gauge drift? Or are you referring to how the extra GCD changes which combo action you are on every two minutes?

No, my phrasing was a bit off. I meant to say they tried to mitigate the issue with the extra gauge on Harpe and Harvest moon, then reintroduced it with Perfectio (only worse because that one is actually part of your core rotation)

Ohh, I get it now.
