FFXIV Director and Producer Naoki Yoshida already promised a number of job adjustments would be heading to the MMORPG, and now many of them are available and detailed in the 7.01 patch notes. The Pictomancer changes aren’t available yet. However, people who hop into FFXIV will see the Astrologian, Black Mage, Dark Knight, Gladiator, Gunbreaker, Marauder, Monk, Paladin, Pugilist, Red Mage, Samurai, Viper, and Warrior changes immediately.
First, the Black Mage learns Umbral Soul sooner in FFXIV as part of the job adjustments in the 7.01 patch notes. It used to learn the action at level 76. After the change, people get it at level 35.
Likewise, the Red Mage change is fairly simple. Manafication now lasts 30 seconds. It used to last 15 seconds.
With the Dark Knight and Gunbreaker, three actions for each of them now have increased enmity. This comes up if you use Shadowstride, Stalwart Soul, or Unleash as a Dark Knight. With the Gunbreaker, that effect now applies to Demon Slaughter, Demon Slice, and Trajectory.
When it comes to the Samurai, there are some buffs when it comes to the two adjustments to the job as part of the FFXIV patch notes for 7.01. The recast times for both Tendo Kaeshi Setsugekka and Tendo Setsugekka are now shorter. You only need to wait 2.5 seconds, rather than 3.2.
While the Viper ended up seeing multiple adjustments in FFXIV, the job really just had range increased for seven actions in the 7.01 patch notes. In 7.0, the range for Death Rattle, First Generation, Second Generation, Third Generation, Fourth Generation, Twinfang Bite, and Twinblood Bite was 3 yalms. After 7.01, it is now 5 yalms for each action.
When it comes to other jobs in FFXIV, the adjustments are more extensive in 7.01. For example, here are the Gladiator and Paladin changes:
| Action | Adjustment |
| Total Eclipse | The additional effect “Increased enmity” has been added. |
| Prominence | The additional effect “Increased enmity” has been added. |
Four Marauder and Warrior actions were adjusted:

| Primal Rend | The effect duration of Primal Rend Ready has been reduced from 30 to 20 seconds. |

Likewise, there were four actions for the Astrologian that ended up changed as well.
