LL: Job/Skill talk.

What's everyone's thoughts about it so far?
Very VERY disappointed in BRD and SMN. :/
Edited for thoughts: I am fine with every other job.
Would really like to know what skill the Paladin used at the end. @_@;

SMN and Machinist are the most appealing from the vids for me going into expansion

I am very happy with SMN (New Tri disaster, Dreadwrym and possible carbuncle skin), I am looking forward to trying the new WHM abilities too (the 'can dmg and heal at the same time' ability is very interesting).

It's good all healers are getting Pro-Shell.

SMN made no sense to me.

During the rest I was just trying not to fall asleep, tbh. Could as well have made a proper crawl video to show zones, post it with Dragonsong and job actions to YT, and then just a normal Letter post with the actions/explanations - would've been easier to comprehend too. It was just a snoozefest. :|

I'm hella ready for greased lightning management skills for MNK.

And damage-while-healing and having a Sacred Prism in PvE for WHM.

And an actual deeps stance for WAR (rip reasons to use MRD tho)

That's the whole point though, they realized people were using MRD as DPS and realized that the way WAR was setup didn't lend itself to well to being an offtank. Now with the changes what people were trying to achieve with MRD can now be done on WAR.

For me the NIN changes sound interesting, I do wonder how intense the positionals will be for them though and how much it might influence their combat. As it stood they were only sneak attack and trick attack but only trick attack became anything to write home about at 50 since it provided a dps increase for everyone. My guess is the DoT finisher and the slashing attack resist may have positional requirements in order to activate. I just don't see them adding more compared to what DRG is now which I believe only has 2 positionals now.

I am really satisfied with BRD, the new stance that boosts dps and "binds" player is all I wanted since I started playing BRD. :)

really happy PLD has some freedom to push out something other than the good ol' 1-2-3 now.

Yeah, I know it's the point.

It's still >: though. I love watching people's reactions to showing up in things as a MRD.

FASTER JUMP ANIMATIONS!!

So disappointed with the lack of news for DRG........ Blood of Dragon stance sounds great and I get they probably gutted the heck out of the news they had for DRG to save time but faster jumps...

Still have my hopes for some group utility.

Edit: to add a little more positive reaction

The info on the tanks was great.
I realy like the new song Bard is picking up.
NiN having even more group utility is good for them.
All the healers seem to be moving even more into more than 1 role which I think is cool.
