Some classes in Final Fantasy XIV really need some adjustments to make them more viable in PvP. Square Enix agrees, which is why the company buffed the performance of certain classes in the recently released Patch 6.28.
The Gunbreaker’s Draw and Junction is an ability that grants some beneficial buffs based on the target. That said, while under the effect of Junction Healer, certain actions will now heal all targets in the area even with the presence of obstructions. On top of that, the potency of damage reflected by the Gunbreaker’s Nebula ability has been increased to 4,000.
Fans of the Machinist might be happy with the recent adjustments as well. For one, movement speed while casting Blast Charge has been increased. Furthermore, the ground targeting radius of the Bishop Autoturret is increased from one to 5 meters. This is to improve the clarity of the targeted area of effect.
There are also some classes in FFXIV that received slight nerfs to PvP actions in Patch 6.28. For instance, the White Mage’s Afflatus Misery and Miracle of Nature abilities have their range reduced to 25 and 10 yalms, respectively.
