FFXIV 7.05 Skill Adjustment

On July 30, the official released the details of the 7.05 patch. Please check the link.>OFFICIAL<

In version 7.05, we have continued to optimize the job experience based on player feedback from version 7.01. Our goal is to enhance gameplay and reassess overall damage balance. We adhere to the principle of "balancing by enhancing weaker jobs rather than nerfing stronger ones," resulting in a variety of adjustments. Specifically, for jobs like Samurai, Viper, and Black Mage that received significant feedback, we have adjusted their skill rotations.

Currently, the damage output of Pictomancer is higher than anticipated. Due to the longer casting times and lack of resurrection skills, Pictomancer's damage was intended to be on par with Black Mage, competing with melee DPS roles. However, there is a significant output gap between Pictomancer and Black Mage, so we have increased Black Mage's output. Additionally, to avoid large damage discrepancies between ranged magical DPS with resurrection abilities, certain ranged physical DPS, and Pictomancer and Black Mage, we have also increased the damage of these jobs.

For melee DPS, given their higher difficulty of sustained attack in high-difficulty content compared to ranged physical and magical DPS, we have increased their overall output.

We will continue to monitor balance based on whether ranged magical DPS have resurrection abilities and the balance between melee DPS and ranged DPS, making adjustments as necessary. Additionally, to improve the feel of certain displacement skills, we have shortened the lead time from pressing the skill to the character's actual movement.

Output adjustments are based on the above principles and will not be reiterated in the following job-specific notes.

Increased skill potency to balance output within the tank role.
