Kerachole and Sacred Soil are functionally identical. 10% party wide damage reduction for 15s on a 30 second CD + some healing overtime. One is placed the other is an AoE buff.

Holos and...

It's pretty much on par with SGE in the mitigation front, some might argue its inferior to SGE even.

Broil V confirmed btw

Not sure it's "time related" necessarily. The cogs start turning as the spell "activates" so it doesn't read as a "slow" or "stop" spell. It does read as an "expand mechanic"? Maybe we're given back...

That floor effect is so familiar, I swear I've seen it before.

It looks like a debuff what with all the "indigo mist means its bad" visual clues, so it can be several different things. Maybe it's...

Thunder V?

SMN

Fester II?

Melees and Ranged

DRG

That looks like a very angry Nidhogg

MNK and DNC

Just a post for discussion (and speculation) of the skills shown in the benchmark.

Frontal cone AoE? Given the animation it looks like a Requiescat upgrade.
...

Sage, seems like an instant spell, the previous frames show no casting animation.

Ast, is definitely a spell with...

I feel like FFXIV had carved a niche into a type of healing gameplay that tried to embrace the interesting balancing act of keeping your party alive and dealing damage- Something that is still true...

SCH: Ruin II upgrades to Kaustra

Kaustra: Spell, Instant, Recast 2.5s 800 MP 25yalms

Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 220.
Additional Effect: Unaspected damage over time
Potency:...

It might also be a case of a snake biting its own tail. Your Co-healer sees you overly ready to throw GCD heals and thinks it's not worth adding to it. Its easier to communicate than to wait for your...

I am not sure I like what this could potentially evolve to. Having parts of your kit only being available while solo seems like it might dangerously turn into "DPS actions are only available while...

I don't know really. I'm all for choices honestly but I understand the appeal of a linear progression where you stack up resources and spend them all up in a spectacular an iconic spell. (Though the...

Honestly, having access to only GCD healing made healing actually kinda fun. I was honestly surprised going back to low level dungeons how much more careful I had to be with "what I chose to cast...

"the 2 fangs of a viper combine to give their enemies the taste of their sting"


Or something like that. It still makes me think of a poison based moveset

Dost thou remember Reaper reveal trailer?

It's definitely the "less spectacular" of the DPS jobs. Looks surprisingly down to earth (Comparatively) to the other melees. That naturally makes it look underwhelming but I guess that's the point...

You dont have to remove Energy Drain. What you can do is remove its damage and leave it as simply an extra MP regen tool to turn those stacks into MP. Now it no longer conflicts with DPS and this...

I keep having the opposite problem in EU datacenters. I run into Medica II spammers or players that just unload all their CDs at the first sign of damage.

When bosses become untargetable you could still use the resources you've built by attacking or simply use other healing abilities- Sage's "healing by attacking" is really just a sustain heal effect...

Their MO is consistently the most effective way to bait people into replying. It has worked for a long time because it only appears to bring up genuine discussion but they quickly derail their own...

Please, please, please, please stop replying to the forum troll. What a surprise they made another person's post all about themselves and here you gave them the attention they craved. Block and move...

I also like how we're getting perennial circlets now. I guess its easier to make all gear circlets than it is to allow viera and hrothgar to wear hats.

As an addendum to the ongoing drama: We've...

You mean the gameplay of "Press attack spell as much as possible while weaving the occasional healing/support ability in between"?

That is hardly unique to Sage. All healers are designed around...
