It’s just impossible to balance each job on every single patch with this much job in FFXIV. In this video we will take a look at FRU and the jobs that clears the least and why those jobs are favored less compared to the other ones in this patch of 7.1

I wish rpr had vpr resouce generation. Vpr can easily generate enough gauge to odd minute reawaken, and even minute double reawaken. Every time.
Rpr at 2.49 will eventually lose its odd minute enshroud and if you get 1 gcd of downtime it happens a minute sooner. Makes it feel like shit in ultimates imo.
There could be simple fixes like make the enhanced gibet/gallows give 20 gauge and the new big button tied to arcane circle should give 10.
I find it strange how much stock you put in selfish DPS’s rdps—ADPS is a more important factor with them
Im not sure when the dps jobs were so unbalanced with damage ..well I cant remember how long it has been with the differences on dps.
Also have to consider not everyone picks what jobs they want to play based on balance or fflogs or what would be meta for dps checks in fights but rather their personal enjoyment and fun. Some jobs had their gameplay loop gutted and job fantasy wasn't enough to keep people on the job. I can't speak for mch as I dislike playing phys ranged in generall for different reasons that are difficult to explain other than playing them feels bad imo. If the draw to playing smn/rpr was ease/job coolness, why stay on smn if theres another just as easy and cooler caster. Rpr and vip are basically the same job, vip is just faster and has more ogcds and is the newer job. At the end of the day its just a big case of "I don't want to play with you anymore".
I feel like on day 1 the biggest reason our Summoner swapped off, and understandably so, was how horrible it felt to play with the desync of 1 minutes..
thats of course a problem on other jobs too, but Summoner pressing searing light without even having a proper primal up, and THEN being forced to use Phoenix on every single next burst window? that just feels horrible on many levels
And delaying that 1 min in p1 just doesnt feel right either, youre just stuck using the worst spell in your kit..
It isn't that Summoners have the lowest "clear rate" per se. All the good summoners who've been playing since 3.x are just clearing on other jobs waiting in vain for SE to unbork their favorite job. You heard right.
It's good to note the most important dps check, in p5, highly favors jobs like rpr, while also widening the gap between jobs like mch and bard. It'd be good to show how you're filtering fflogs statistics, and consider the context of padding when comparing peaks.
they design and appertize adps jobs and rdps jobs but in reality, the game is all about rdps, cause adps always naturally sit at the bottom of the ladder.
then, there's these adps jobs with raidbuffs…they really need to re-define the difference of "selfish jobs" and buff jobs
Honestly I don't think they need to change the fact that picto benefits from downtime, but I think it needs a nerf so it also isn't the best in full uptime either to bring it more in line.
It should do more damage than Red Mage, but still a good bit less than Black Mage in full uptime in my opinion.
Machinist needs radical buffs to bring its damage up to be at least on par with Red Mage, though I feel like they deserve the most to be right behind melee. I also feel like they should make it so you can use flamethrower to generate heat and potentially even battery gauge so they can deal with downtime scenarios better. It would also make Flamethrower an actually useful button.
Outside of that, I feel like the balance is mostly fine in terms of damage.
> Join 7.0 EX3 for mount farm in PF last month
> That PF has D3 & D4 as machinist & summoner comp
> We try 5 times but not a single run can't pass phase 1 enrage check. Always leaving with 1-3% HP (or 3-5% if melees get rekt)
> Leader ask D3 & D4 to change job if their can politely. Machinist has only 1 lv.100 job & Summoner refuse to change to picto cuz he doesn't want to play meta
> Vote abandon initiate and party immediately disband
> 10 min later after I pick coffee cup, found PF with same leader name. With D3 set to BRD, DNC and D4 set to BLM, PCT, RDM
Btw, I agree with your clip
Its honestly so frustrating trying to pf fru on summoner I gave up and swapped to picto. I literally can't join half the parties because everyone locks the one caster spot to picto
Approaching p3+ oftentimes I would do extra prog with static members in pf. We had a really hard time filling our pfs just because one of our members was a SMN. Additionally, there were multiple instances where I would join a pf to prog and it would never seem to fill – simply because there was a SMN in the group…
In terms of actual dps, we were fine so long as there were 0 deaths and we made small adjustments depending on comp(e.g. as a SCH I would sometimes Chain a tank crystal). If someone wasn't pulling their weight in intermission, we would need to LB the big crystal. This wasn't a big problem as the p3 check is a joke anyways.
All that said, we cleared shortly after Christmas without a picto.
