My negative review specifically targets 7.1 and the combat changes to dragoon and gunbreaker.

Dragoon was already taking L's this expansion by having spineshatter dive and dragon sight removed. Despite the overhaul removing alot of the jobs interesting temporal complexity, drgs were still provided an interesting kit to work with, filled with double weaves OGCD's and plenty of moves that felt fun to spam like nastrond.

Aaand they removed most of that by reducing your castings of nastrond from 3 to 1.

As if that wasnt bad enough the took gunbreakers superbolide and made it so that your health now drops to 50% instead of 1 hp. An absolutely unnecessary change since there were so many tools that could be used to instantly recover that health (including an ability gnb already has) and stripped role flavor from the job.


Im greatful for the side content because the alliance raid was very well made and fun to do but i really wish the balance team wasnt so at the ready to oversimplify the kits of jobs so hard.
