So am I the only one loving the new Heavensward stuff?

Can't say much about Ninja beyond the fact that Fuuton won't be the only used ninjutsu is probably a good thing.

It never was. It's always Fuuton -> Suiton -> Raiton, with an additional Raiton thrown in thanks to Kassatsu. In the future we'll just have even more Raiton. Hardly exciting - especially considering they nerfed our mudras back when they made our poisons Physical only. Of all the classes, NIN was a huge disappointment in the live letter, and sadly it's exactly the class I meant to play. An aggro reduce skill, and more Raiton. And positionals. Hooray. Especially after they showed what MNK and DRG will get, it was painful to behold.

I like everything so far EXCEPT Bard stuff and SMN stuff.

Summoner - Being a Pet/Summon class with no new summons is hilarious.
Bard - I'm happy for the people who wanted to be a more DPS side of the class, but I want support stuff too...
I feel like the stuff AST will make me incredibly happy since they have more supportive skills...but those skills I wanted to see on Bard.
I have to see what MAC has in terms of support but I think I'm hanging up my harp and bow for BRD.

Thought there were two other ninjutsu that they have right now as well? I don't have a Ninja period yet, workin on getting Monk first.

The other Ninjutsu are Katon, the Fire one, for some AoE damage, Doton, the Earth one, for the AoE ground circle, and Hyoton, a single target bind. Well, and the Shuriken. The only Ninjutsu that'll be used in boss fights are Fuuton, Suiton and Raiton, however. Fuuton lasting longer only means there'll be more Raiton used - Suiton is worthless if used more often than every 60 seconds, unless they give us a new stealth ability that doesn't share the same cooldown as Trick and Sneak Attack. The other Ninjutsu are useless in boss fights as well.

I don't really like the addition of more positionals to nin as the lack of them was the main reason I enjoyed it, but aside from that everything looks really neat. I think they're being clever on how to solve complaints people have without making it unbalanced. The bard stance is brilliant, I think the summoner dreadwyrm thing is the most exciting thing added, and changes to tanks makes me actually have an interest in tanking in this game, which up to now has been the only mmo where I don't main tank.

After hearing of Deliverance stance for Warriors I immediately bought a ticket and boarded the hype train. Also, someone playing bloodborne much? lol

Bloodborne invented trench coats.

[Marxam]

Technically trench coats were the style of the Victorian era and popularized through H.P. Lovecraft and other authors who explored that time period but who cares. I love the new styles and its not overly complicated which is what I love. I just hope they fixed the clipping on cloaks/robes that are below the ankles. Its really distracting.

It's a mixed bag for me. There are some exciting changes and some less than exciting changes. There are a few huge disappointments and some really solid additions which I'm looking forward to getting my hands on. I doubt that many people will agree with everything that's being added or changed, and I know that I'm not alone in being disappointed with some of the changes.

The big one for was summoner. Right now it's one of my least used classes. Our summons are pathetic, our entire job role relies too much on our DoT damage and all they're doing to appease players who wanted new summons is give us some reskins. Thanks SE. Making the same summon look different is totally why we were complaining in the first place (/sarcasm).

The main issue I have with summoner is that because of their heavy DoT reliance, their damage is quite slow compared to other classes. We don't have any strong AoE 'nukes' and Bane only hits a maximum of 3 other targets. Against trash, this makes us THE weakest class in the game, since it's entirely reliant upon our ability to cast 3 spells on a target and bane repeatedly until everything is hit. For fights where adds need to die fast, this is a REAL pain in the backside and is the core that needed to be addressed. It wasn't.

At the very least they could have given us a Ruinga or something. Summoner needs some decent damage skills which don't rely on DoT.

I'm very excited for the changes. Each job is getting a shake up and everything is going to be fresh and new. I can't wait for 3.0. 2.0 was a blast but it's time to move on to a more mature more developed game experience.
