For the three of you who still care, Patch 1.22b's job balance adjustments. Summarising what I could gather from a crappy google translate.

Pugilist/Monk:
- Pretty much all TP/Combo moves damage buffed.

Gladiator/Paladin:
- Goring Blade/Riot Blade power increased and recast reduced.
- Changing from GLA to PLD now reduces INT, not HP.
- Invincible (Hallowed Ground) now blocks all attacks with a few exceptions (guessing Astral Flow).

Marauder/Warrior:
- Berserk power increased, defense lowered.
- Rampage no longer restores HP, seems to increase Parry rate instead.
- Whirlwind no longer blows all TP.
- Collusion nerfed. Only redirects some enmity and not all of it, possibly a cap.
- Steel Cyclone now costs 1000 TP instead of 2000 TP. Power/attack reduced. Damage increased by Rampage.

Lancer/Dragoon:
- TP moves have had accuracy penalty removed.
- Chaos Thrust combo buff is now critical hit instead of accuracy.
- "Dragon Sword" (which ability is this?) recast reduced from 3 minutes to 1 minute.
- Power Surge / Life Surge overhauled. Japanese a bit hard to understand, not sure what changed.
- Elusive Jump now returns you to the the monster after jumping.

White Mage:
- Benediction range increased.

If anybody can actually read japanese, it's below. Once somebody posts a decent translation somewhere I'll post that in here instead.

Its about time they increased the range on Bene. Currently its pretty much a self heal move for me.

I'm not a fan of ANY of the marauder changes. Glad I have D3 to play.

If those are the only warrior changes- it's not "that" bad. You are less invincible when soloing groups of mobs. WHM will have to cure you more often. You can't have that huge initial hate spike with collusion on a mage casting a high tier spell.

I would be happy to see the comeback of GLA/PLD tanks, while MRD/WAR switches to a mostly melee DD job. Instead of WAR being a tank, whm, DD, and pizza oven - all in 1 job.

I don't have much to comment about the DRG or MNK changes, as I never play either job.

The benediction range increase = a HUGE improvement. There has been SO many times where I thought I was gonna be the hero and bring everybody from 500HP to full health - and instead just heal myself (like Yarr mentioned).

Greetings everyone!

As you may have read, the previously announced class/job action adjustments that were scheduled to take place in 1.22b, are actually going to be included in today’s 1.22a hotfixes.
