Stone III Confirmed for WHM

[Viviza]

since when does the single, uncomented scene from a benchmark count as a "confirmation"

It doesn't. But they're clearly showcasing some of the new stuff that each job is doing in turn.

according to the live translation that was done through Mrhappy's twitch stream with his associate Marko, jobs will not be locked to only the two expected quests, although the Quests are the only way to get a new ability (as confirmed via previous letter this month) Still waiting for the english team to update a forum post of something with the mass amount of new info given. http://dreamnetwork.tv/forum have to find the translation area for Marko but Nico Nico has a topic

Must be Quake I guess.

But I can't see clearly with SCH's skill. Is it succor with adloquium's galvanize or what?

[AriaEnia]

Quake? Will it hit flying targets?

I don't think it's a Stone III. Stone I and Stone II are both Actions, which means they're both CNJ skills. Yoshi said that all of the new skills we are getting in Heavensward have to be taught via the Job NPC so they're strictly WHM skills. Unless they're secretly planning some sort of overhaul to the Class/Job system, it is probably separate from the Stone skills. (Personally, I watched the trailer in low quality so I thought it was a fire skill, LOL.)

As for the SCH skill. I do hope it's an actual AoE heal. Something with a higher potency than Succor (without the shields) and a little weaker than WHM's Medicas would be really nice. I also do not doubt that SMN/SCH are getting a 4th Atherflow stack with the increase to 60, though I really hope this new heal isn't going to require a stack (Lustrate all day erryday).

Did anyone else notice "Ultima" as a new attack in the video? Hope it's for the Blackmages! <3

It would make sense for them to boost WHM DPS capabilities it's one of the things WHM doesn't have much of besides Holy which is a massive mana drain so you don't really do it in a long fight. Though i mostly want to see another damage mitigation spell to make WHM gameplay more interesting than see huge damage hit then perform cure III mega heal and lul at the 4k crits.

Where's this "confirmation" I hear about? All I see is an earth-like spell. Why are people "confirming" things without any official word from Square?

It's a video with all those classes with in game graphics. That should be more than enough to proof those new skills, shouldn't it?

Yes, but "Stone III confirmed"? It's like an immediate assumption, obvious as it is, of something you're not 100% sure of, see what I mean?
