This comment section has zero knowledge of most jobs. Here and there you find truth about some but over all 98% of the takes in here are wrong and opinions based on what people told them or what they remember from when they played it once
Yes, DRG may be better in savage with those numbers, but I am not a fan of the changes at all. As a ex-casual player of the game (I haven't really played since finishing DT, except for logging into patch day), I miss the triple Nastrond feel when fighting, especially when in dungeons. Now, it feels a lot less "bursty" on the 1 minute AoE pulls. I personally think that the job was completely fine, minus the Starcross buff (that was nice), and miss my mains gameplay.
I think it's very important to consider where this tier list applies, for casuals this might be an okay list but any serious raid group would not take SGE over SCH given Rdps, War and Paladin would also be swapped with drk for speed, blm, rdm and smn would be bottom jobs, so would mch. Brd and dnc would rank extremely high, rpr would rank a lot lower aswell, rest of the list is okay ish
Listen. I've been a DRK main since it was released. I haven't looked back (only to how broken it was in HW). BUT I gotta thank xeno cause he was putting it on fucking BLAST at least once a week. And it got heavy attention. So I'll take these buffs. But I'm waiting for more. So please. Keep shitting on my class lmaooooo
Respectfully, I think you have bad take on the healers. Scholar and Astro have so much synergy with mitigation it can't be parrelleld. Astro S, Scholar A+, Sage & WHM on A-.
I main smn with drk secondary. I know that especially at the level that im at it really isnt that big of a deal, but still being at the back of the pack after a major patch is kinda despair lol
I'm MT and I'm swapping out from DRK to WAR because you are either on point with every single mit every single pull or you die :( the buffs are appreciated but the job has absolutely lackluster personal mit and doesn't function properly as a MT. As an OT however it's incredible.
@@LeicaFleury Self sustain only matters in casual content and prog (lol). If it's bringing more Dps, that's what matters, because its beyond easy to throw OGCD's and heal tanks. Makes sense to swap to another if your healers are lacking, but that's not really a Drk issue as much as a "your healers need to wake up" one.
@@antipyretic and sch destroys sage at mitigation too, hell one of schs mitigations has a sprint that's better than a small shield plus heal. And no mitigation isn't stronger than shields, with a crit Dissipation recitation buffed spreadlo buffed by the arrow you can skip mechanics. Also doesn't help that gunbreaker dark knight mitigation buffs has made it so now DPS/tank mitigation potential lowers healers need for it as much.
@@christhagod dont forget SCH also has access to Fey Illumination. so in total SCH has more party mitigation too. The only real advantage SGE has over SCH is being able to move and shield and that movement is invalidated as you prog a fight more imo.
@@TOAGamer1 that, slightly more personal damage and being completely brain dead easy. That's Sage's advantages, which is hilarious because it's almost identical to whim and AST minus the damage and movement.
i would personally switch out whm with astro or at the very least include it in s tier with the other 2. whm just has too much raw healing to not be in s tier. i have a max level scholar and whm and currently leveling asrto,(lvl 67) and i just dont see why anyone would choose astro over whm if given the chance. astro is probably better in highly coordinated statics (with their card buff ststem) but that doesnt really matter in randoms or casual statics and whm excels in randoms. you cannot underestimate how incredibly useful it is to solo heal in most duties that have a co healer. astro cant even out regen stack a whm (which i thought they might since they have 2 regular cards that affect healing. i cant remember if qeen card does regen. whm lilly bell regen is just too massive to beat) i feel like the 2 regen healers are in the same boat as the physical ranged: one is better depending on the situation. maybe my mind will change later as i get more skills unlocked on astro but from what i can see of their specialties, its feels wrong to put whm anywhere below s
Not much of a point in ranking by just healing. Since they can all heal well just fine. At that point its about other things outside of just can it heal
AST has way better mitigation/shielding than WHM. It also has a slew of ogcd heals that heal faster than WHM's big reliance on gcd healing, which could lead to a teammate dying just because the WHM was barely too late on the healing.
@@iPlayOnSpicaWHM has a lot of ogcd heals...if the whm is relying in gcd heals and letting the group die because of it, it's their own fault...ast has a lot more shields for sure and a lot more utility but when it comes to raw healing, whm is way better
@@sophiastorm8616 unfortunately due to the nature of this game, pure healing is less than shield healing and mitigation. If there was more consistent damage like the dot during bird extreme WHM would shine a lot more due to it's pure healing abilities.
@@christhagod whm has enough mitigation, I mean, I'm biased ofc, I'm a whm, but I can tell you that being out of ogcd healing is something that really doesn't happen...as for being out of mitigation (shields is a different matter) never happened, if anything else isn't available, there's always medica 2. Don't get me wrong, I love ast, but whm is better in almost every sense except a few utilities. And it's a lot easier and straightforward and that's a big plus in high-end
It's actually almost perfect, the vast majority of top players would agree with this list. This is also the best balancing we've ever had top to bottom dps is within 10% whereas before it used to be closer to 20%.
@@christhagod Spreadlo is a GCD, it's a waste of a gcd when you have BIS and optimal healing. Sage healing is massively in the lead, if Sage and Scholar were comparitively within 5% then Scholar would take the cake but Sage healing is enormous. It's so easy and effective to use and doesn't rely on slow pet abilties, it has way less APM needed, and it's damage is easier to use and understand. on Scholar you have to waste aetherflow to deal more damage. That's the exactly reason also that sage healing is so much better, scholar are using aetherflow to keep up in dps, when without the aetherflow damage scholar would be a lot lower in damage but still not equaling the healing (likely around 7%) It's just not a contest man... to anyone with eyes haha
Okey, you're just plainly wrong about tanks. Gunbreaker is S-tier, the fact that DD only cost one Cartridge now just put it miles ahead the others. And DRK, while yes they are better than before, they're still nowhere near as good as PLD & WAR, putting DRK above B-tier is wild, sure their damage is better, but as a whole their package isn't even close to the other tanks, even with the buffs they're still the worst one.
I'm a DRK main. And they are by far the worst. Like. For me personally I wish they'd bring back mana management for higher dps instead of self sustain. I'm a tank i want to need my healer. Not steal their job. Idk. I just want the technicality of the job back and soul price. I honestly think a tweaked version of soul price would fix DRK in terms of self sustain but idk.
I'm doing around 17.5 to 18k DPS on DRK on 724ilv (720 weapon, I started raiding very late). This is just blue parsing, nothing to sing songs about (between 50 and 55), but I'm swapping to Warrior because I'm MT and our OT refuses to play any job other than PLD. The DPS is great but it's not enough to carry and quite honestly I almost lost my mind last night squeezing out every tiny bit of mit out of my lackluster kit.
As a former AFK in Limsa main, this list is completely wrong.
Such qualifications... lol
The factually correct tier list is:
> Pictomancer Tier
> Everyone Else Tier
There should be no reason mch is always at the bottom of the dps charts.
There is a reason. Someone has to be. Because it’s a list.
good news, it isnt
There's also zero reason PCT should be this broken OP :/. Mch should be a lot higher being as selfish DPS like BLM and Sam. Just it's got a lot of mobility hehe
as a former AST main, ive switched to WHM because i am absolutely not doing 200 APM when i can do a whopping 3 casts on WHM for better healing output.

He's blatantly wrong, spreadlo destroys all of sages shielding. SCH/AST stomp so hard and allow you to skip mechanics.
