5.0 Leaks

So, if these are to be believed, Paladin looks as though it as getting as I expected all along: Magic based AoE, shield gap closer, and more utilities.

I really do hope these are true. the DRK ones look interesting, but no dark arts, which is what people were complaining about (Honestly, I didn't mind it at all, gave you control over what your damage enhancements were going to be).

Wonder if Syphon Strike survived the great skill purge of 5.0.

Do you have any sources?

Do we really need to discuss possible leaks on the official Forums just a few hours before Live Letter? Geez.

ou can find all the discussion on Reddit already.

Yes, because it's exciting. I suppose reddit is the only place to discuss certain topics, rather than...a forum?

I'm mainly just skeptical of the OP.

I'm just hoping for the culling of tank stances and role skills to be true.

Tank stances are obsolete with the current dps meta; and I'm completely fine with increasing the skill ceiling of tanks by giving them more impact dps wise. Doing damage is fun, and tanks will still feel like tanks because boss positioning, mitigation, and enmity management are pretty unique to the role. I'd like to see Enmity generation to be a tad bit more active: have the tank dip into the enmity combo and balance damage with enmity generation or perhaps mitigation.

Role skills are also obsolete as a concept; much rather see those skills rolling into the jobs proper. I'd like to see different versions of the same skills to give a bit more flavor to the jobs. Esuna v. Leeches comes to mind.

And this is why nobody really talks on this forum besides cry about content or their class or other crappy topics that's not interesting to even read instead of talking about something more *Interesting*like what we got here.
Stop waiting to be fed by your master from his hand.

Except the whole party helping out with mitigation, doing more active threat management, and boss auto positioning.

But other than that, totally.

Skeptical of me, the OP? Or literally the thing in question? I mean that's fine to be skeptical, but all of the leaks seem perfectly fine to me: Gap closer was sorely needed, so it seems legit from the tooltip that was leaked alongside it (30s "charge time", two dashes maximum), Holy Circle which if we go from Holy Spirit is an AoE option for Req, which makes perfect sense given that DRK can use blood for AoE or Single Target, WAR's get Decimate and Fell Cleave so it only makes sense to give PLD's something like this.

Either way, it doesn't bother me xD. People are stuffy on the forums compared to other sources, no skin off my bones if some rando person on the net finds me annoying or what not.
