Job Balance?

PUP is probably the most well designed class in the game, I hope it gets more and more spotlight : D.

Show even the slightest bit of proof of these claims and I might take you seriously.

Trust tank during the trust campaign and just spam T2/T3 while wearing reforged body for MP recycle. Outside of the campaign trusts will die to Astral Flow sometimes although it is still possible to win as Mana Wall gives you 5 additional minutes even if they go down (-97.5% DT...) It takes a long time so I wouldn't exactly say it's good gil but it's still doable.

Again though this is a stupid metric to use. It's fairly dumb to expect the same level of solo performance from every job.

Note: Rune Fencer (Rua) won the parse.

To be fair Kouryu is a PLD so he automatically has Critical Def. Bonus trait. Warder of Courage seems to get the same when he Bracelets go up. BLU noticed CDC numbers plummeted when Bracelets went up while Expiacion numbers remained somewhat consistent.

Resolution benefits massively if the RUN is being fed a lot of Attack+ from various sources. CDC does too but nowhere near as much.

I should point out that Bolstered Idris Frailty with Light shot dia 2 floors DEF or really close to it so you don't need Attack buffs until Bolster wears.

Also for WoC and T4 Melee clears I have never switched out of my normal TP set which on BLU DRK and RUN are 1140+ outside easha no food/buffs.

Being able to win isn't entirely the point. With just a real BRD or real WHM I can win VD levi but my clear times aren't nearly as good, and if I spam it enough or get say magic evasion vs water gear etc, I could pull out a win, eventually that is why I say I think it is possible for THF to win in my post, especially pulling out PD. However a win alone won't address the purpose of the post, which is gil making is far easier and more accessible to BLU, who is in every way able to do this better than other DD jobs, that I have seen. Even if you could make a strat for consistent wins on say THF, you'd have to also merit farm as fast as them, clear as fast as them, and be as consistent as them which due to the points I listed I think is currently not possible. The BLU I've spoken to that does it the most doesn't even have a special spell loadout for Levi, and goes WAR sub and uses berserk. Please don't repurpose the point of the post into showboating. If you do win though, you'll get my congrats, it is just not the point of the post. If any job stood a chance at competing with BLU on this it'd be RUN or NIN, but even they lack the ability to self heal well on demand, and self cap haste, and merit farm in record times, or have crit ws that self chain light for such big numbers. One other thing BLU gets to do too, is start the fight with haste cap and other buffs on, where most DD will be waiting for trusts to buff you up for some period after starting the fight. In fact, just better trusts could help close the gap imo, but then you'd end up in situations where a BLU does well without trusts and other DD require them much more. There is also the recent nerf to aoe in the last patch, but I'm told waterja still can own trusts even though the AF doesn't now, so even as the last patch, there's more room to win but it still isn't going to be on par with what BLU is doing, which is entirely the point.

I disagree, it's a very good game, but I think Donkey Kong is the best game ever.

Seriously? I'm just over 1200 outside Escha no food/buffs, interesting.

Yes. I have 3 TP sets normal which is 1140, then Mid ACC. which is 1200-1210 then full blown ACC. which is 1300. With the update my 3rd set became useless as I used that for when I am on mid accuracy and accuracy buffs drops. You never needed more than 1140-50 Accuracy for normal TP gear.
