Heavensward Benchmark

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3I_xgPqWxQ

Not the full benchmark of course. The full thing was said to be over 10 minutes long, and part of it was shown at the PAX panel.
That said, seeing the new jobs in action is pretty cool. Filling the 4th party slot with a ninja was a nice touch too :P

The benchmark is actually around 9 minutes long lowered from 13 minutes.

wait what was the skill used by the ninja, the one where he hit with him hand?

Can't wait! Did they give a release date for the benchmark? Wow, 6/19 can not come soon enough. Bump btw ;3

Yeah what is the release date for the benchmark? Wasnt it suppose to be later this month?

Near the end of April.

Also it looks like the ninja has a stance shift or something. he loses one of his daggers in a move and then right before the ending it shows him holding 1 blade and and the other hand is free. Hard to see clearly but I'm almost 100% positive this is the case.

April 27th i think is wut was mentioned

yes for one animation the ninja uses his palm to attack and still keeps one sai his other hand.

I'm not sure about his stance at the end though. That was a lot harder to see but I did notice that the DRK Au'Ra seems to have a black tail so I think another thing is that we'll be able to alter the scale color of the Au'Ra's tail.

That could just be the new skill obtained after lv50 though. Just need to wait and see~

This must have been shown during that rather drawn out interview.

I hope they let us load our character/retainers current appearance from the server for the purposes of the benchmark.

We get the benchmark during this event:

ahha so i was right, i kept saying to my FC it was coming with NicoNico con, due to the fact it would make a lot of sense for them have a hands on thing at a japanese convention :3

Hopefully, it will be released during the event and not after because that would be a painful weekend.
