Black Mage/White Mage is awesome.

All of them look quite good. I think they will fit among with other skills well. I'm looking forward to seeing them in a party situation.

Whats with the bard weaponskill?

Every other attack shown makes sense except this one. No multishot animation, yet all of a sudden while aiming into the air, multiple arrows are there before the bow is shot.

Looks to me like this skills:

Blunt Shot - Physical damage on enemies around target.

If you look, when you knock back the arrow in your bow, all the magical arrows looks like they are getting knocked back too, and then they are fired outwards from the mob. So if there was some mobs near that hog, they would have got hit from the arrows.

My question is, did the target monster take dmg too, because if not, that would be a good AoE to use when you're trying to shadow bind something.

You just don't wanna put up with him singing the Good King Moggle Mog song again xD

Given that it's a bow harp, there's a good possibility if it's not an animation snafu that it's a magic effect (if you played XI, a good example would be Leaden Salute how the target displays on the enemy before you actually fire the gun.)

I'm thinking it may be a snafu though, but we have to play and see.
