I know this topic comes from HW era, but for real... what the hell they did?
The job plays mostly the same, but you took all that made it fun in EW (if we don't compare previous iterations). I can understand fusing Delirium and BW which is something I agree since both were used at the same time but reducing BW stacks and MP generation? No one asked for that, now during burst I barely press some buttons and it's done, wait 1 minute and 40s till next burst. And let's not talk about the non-existing balance between tanks: PLD is still in the lowest, DRK at least in EW had a lot of DPS to compensate the lack of self-healing tools, meanwhile WAR does everything self-heal, best DPS, easiest tank. At least GNB is at good state considering the heavy weaving and tight burst window.
If you want to follow this silly "all jobs deal the same damage" mindset for balance, then at least make the jobs lack in some respects while others are good at those.
Also fix Shadowstride, it feels extremely unresponsive in comparison to Slither or Trajectory.
