The Final Fantasy XIV Patch 5.3 class/job adjustments for PvE are not as meaty as they were in some previous patches, but they are no less substantial. To summarize: Warriors remain the favorite sons among tanks (sorry Dark Knights), Monks will find Form Shift less cumbersome to use, Bards received a light buff, Summoners had a nerf to Tri-Disaster, Astrologians had a slew of tweaks made and another Sleeve Draw reattack, and Machinists were once again trolled. Oh, and Gunbreakers continue to flirt with immortality.
The full list of Patch 5.3 class/job adjustments for PvE are listed below:
