(What's your order Shougun I don't get it~? Well I'm dumb but we're going alphabetical of the group name within each given category. SE, Outlets that focus on their web page, Youtubers, and Japanese Not English language based news).

Update: I get why youtubers will put all the videos into bite sized pieces (easier for viewers, more views for them), but their playlists are super appealing now~ So we're going to see more playlists now :P. I'll put a summary of the videos they're offering below though. If I link each and every video for every youtuber SE might give me the hyperlink cap lol.

Bloodletter Procs all day for BRD with DRG and SCH! 10% for Straight shot + 2% for Mage's Ballad + 15% for Battle Litany + 20% for SCH's new Chain Strategem = 47% increase in Crit Rate for Ballad's duration while Crits from the DoTs reset Bloodletter and Rain of Death!

Thank you :)

To hyperlink in the forum you can conveniently use the little world with a link on it icon in the editor that you use to post- if you have text selected and press that button it'll ask for your link and then it will encapsulate the text you selected with that hyper link :D

[ URL="link here"]Text you want people to see[/ URL]

Make sure to close the space between the [ and / and URL of course~

Those are a lot more role skills than I thought... And we'll be limited to only 5 at any given time? :/

MTQCapture (Mizzteq) put out 25 videos from the media event. It's probably easier to just link to the playlist. Which can be found here.

Thank you both~ thanks Arutan for the many links, some I've left out because they're bundled within the article for example Gamer Escape puts their combat gameplay videos in the appropriate Role Analysis article. ^_^

Yeh.... I'm definitely going to use her Playlist.. But it's cool she has so many :P

You got that right. To be fully honest, I'm not 100% sure you get 5 to begin with at low levels, since we were given only level 70 characters. But when capped to 63 it was already 5.

As former cross-class actions, the right to add more actions is earned by leveling. It seems we gain them at lv. 12, 20, 32, 40 and 48. Also, it seems it is possible to put in the first slot (lv. 12) an action earned way later (not unlike SCH and AST putting now Stoneskin in their first cross-class skill at lv. 10 when WHM must wait lv. 34 to use it).

Not really sure I like the WHM changes at all. I liked it because it felt like a Holy priest from WoW, but now it seems like it may as well be the combat version of FSH with all of the fishing for procs it's going to need to do.

Thanks for this :D

I saw this on reddit and I thought it was pretty funny.. xd:

No wonder Yoshi-P said Samurai was "really" strong lol.

@Nerisu: I believe that's just Mizzteq's videos.

Arg good catch, trying not to duplicate stuff but I've spent more time making the list than watching stuff @_@. Nothing against anyone's website, which is why I choose to try and alphabetize people within the given category (to not bias).. but I'd rather not have a bunch of duplicates to the same exact content (as much as reasonably possible) lol.

Team effort :3

Edit: Watching stuff now, lol @ Divine Magic Mastery [Trait] for PLD. Cannot be interrupted (via damage) and halves all mp costs. Wonder if the MP cost displayed is the halved value or not, like the 1440 at level 70 is half, or is it half of what is displayed? If it's half of the displayed value then PLD can cast for days now xD.

Still happy you were trying to help out~

Tooltips are all not final. Yoshi was very careful to mention that, and stressed it multiple times, saying that people shouldn't go by them. That said, I did notice that running out of mana was not an issue, and I'm normally quite flash-heavy, which does give me some mana issues in heavensward. Didn't run into it nearly as much while running the dungeon in Stormblood.

So if they change I make a thread saying Yoshi-P promised me and now he nerfed my job? :D? lol

The mana burning mechanic on Paladin looks interesting, glad we can't get interrupted with that mechanic - it might be a bit frustrating to get them out when the boss is dropping AoEs on you though, would be nice if it was a bit more potency to compensate.. Although I haven't done the math to see how different PLD will be from the other two tanks, so maybe meaningless (but atm see the other two tanks being able to carry their damage more reliably by rotating around the boss and not stopping combos/skills while moving).

Thanks for compiling the list!

Thank you for this. Trying to keep up with all the articles/videos that were released is dizzying!

As promised yesterday, here is my humble interview :D

You're very welcome :D

My verdict was:

RDM +++
AST +++
PLD +++
SAM ++
BLM ++
SMN ++
MNK++
DRG +
NIN +
WAR +
DRK NC
SCH -
WHM ---

Rest: IDC

I'll probably end up maining RDM and switching out BLM/SMN as I feel the urge for a change.

Here's Very Merri's video on SAM, and he says more to come in the near future:
