Astrologian seems super complicated.

Good.

Annnnd the live letter is ending it seems.Â

I missed the first half but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

DRK Will be able to use Cross-class skills from MRD and GLD! Confirmed!

Now I just want MOAR cross-class info.

There's already a huge, enormous outsized difference between players who know how to play their classes and players who don't. The additional abilities are only going to increase the divide.

They really need some kind of proper tutorial for each class, because way too many players are going to get carried to cap without knowing how to play properly.

Then we cast further scrutiny and continue to weed the chaffe.

This coupled with a movement skill. Hoo, boy.

Do we know if we're getting additional cross-class skill slots to go with the increased level cap of 60? If it's still five, I'm thinking the following for DRK...

Provoke
Convalescence
Flash
Bloodbath
Mercy Stroke

Not necessarily in that order.

Wondering if we're getting any ROG cross-class skills. {Perfect Dodge}, {I want it}.

AST, MNK, Arabian esque looking outfits? BLU looking GSM gear?

This does answer a very big question that I had, though - whether it would be worth leveling other classes to support the three new jobs, whereas is DRK/AST/MCH didn't tap anything from the previous classes, then there would be no point, for some people.

DUNGEON VIDEO INCOMING.

TANKS

PALADIN

PLD is having it's new weapon skill branching depending on Enmity. They are also getting a new set of combos for Offtanks for a more DPS focus.

Divine Veil is a new barrier spell.

New block and shield based actions, including blocking for actions.

Looks like PLD is getting greatly expanded from it's current niche.

WARRIOR

New Stance! Deliverance, a DPS/Offtank focused stance. Abandon is the new stacking buff built in this stance. Stance dancing allows you to carry stacks between Wrath and Deliverance.

Raw Intuition, when struck from front will auto hit. If hit from side, Auto Crit.

New healing actions as well as new actions to consume and build Deliverance. Design goal is to make Defense more powerful and Offense seperate.

DARK KNIGHT

Dark Aura stance: Raises DPS but drains MP. Can not regain MP from party actions (No ballad). Dark Knight has weapon skills to recover MP.

Gripped Stance: Tank mode.

Weapon skills build emnity and leech HP from enemies. Complex combo system.

DARK EVERYTHING. Also: Soul Eater. Living Dead. Emo and Angsty the design goal (straight from Yoshi-P).

DRK do not have a ranged pull, they have a leaping charge.

ALL ACTIONS LEADING TO 50 HAVE BEEN ADJUSTED FOR TANKS!

TANK STANCES HAVE ACCURACY BONUS

Originally a pure Healer, shifting to a hybrid DPS/Healer role officially.Â

Aylum field, Regen field. Attack/Heal hybrid attack. Added lesser Benediction like instants.Â

Stone 3 and Aero 3 both AOE, Aero 3 applies an AoE DOT.

Protect spell being adjusted so that it's buff amount is equalized between classes that can use it. Keep balance between the new healer trinity.

Since getting into healing more at first for rp reasons and now for ooc, this shit sounds amazing.

I love that WAR is getting more to it. Stance dance classes/characters are almost always my favorites.

Can someone please sum up MNK changes for me? I'm at work and have no sound. ; ;

Monks are getting more strategic, is what I got from it, and will need to pay very close attention to what stance they are in for new possibilities, and some cases will have to give up their stances for defensive purposes.

The new combat moves, in tandem, look like somebody at SE really likes Shotokan characters from street fighter - lots of fire, uppercuts and jump kicks.

[Pullin hairs]

Less shoto More Fei long esqe.

Shoto's don't really have many/any very flowy atacks.

Am I the only one who watched the BLM cast Haste and thing, "That spell circle is pretty sweet looking... I hope it can be cast out of battle for RP"?
