The Monk Temple Reborn

[ColdestHeaven]

I'm not entirely familiar with all MNK animations, so I may have problems identifying which is which, but I can say confidently that every new skill they showed in the Job Actions video is oGCD. Reason being, weaponskill animations show an orange circle coming from the characters feet - whereas oGCD abilities show a blue twister engulfing the character. So if they used Chakra in that video, it's most definitely oGCD.

Wow... Didn't even know that lol

Looked it up, and yeah... All oGCD abilites have the same "base" animation and GCD abilities all have the same base animation too, but different. So I think it's pretty safe to say that the ability we see there, is oGCD. Every ability we have seen on that vid(for all jobs), have been identified and explained to some degree, so I highly highly doubt it's an ability we haven't heard of yet.

i wouldnt be to sure, i forgot exactly where i saw it, think it was live letter notes (might try and find it later if i have time) but their exact wording was "at least five skills" being added to every class, monk could be one of those exceptions getting more than 5, i dont think that will be the case but you never know.

That's not what I meant, sorry. I meant that out of all the abilities we saw in that job video, we know about every single one of them. There isn't a single ability that is unclear what it is. All the uncertainties of that sort, comes from potential abilities that we didn't see.

We already know MNK will get at least 6 abilities btw, and was said that we were to get a ranged attack too, which would bring it up to 7. Doubt we would get 6-7 abilities, and then a 7-8th ability that we know nothing about, and still was showed on that video.

EDIT: After all, Yoshi-P talked about Chakra after we had seen that video, as well as Tornado Kick and Forbidden Chakra, which is the other 2 abilities in that video. Don't think he mentioned abilities that wasn't on the video, except maybe for the new jobs who have a ton of abilities ofc

i went over most of the monk animations, and the spiral under your characters feet isnt an absolute rule, arm of the destroyer has a blue mark, steel peak has a yellow mark, which is opposite to what this rule is supposed to be, i wouldnt throw out the idea of using that to get an idea of skills in the future though, i just dont know how well it can be trusted, especially with skills yet to be officially released.

I just noticed that too...odd. Abilities regarded as spells (PLD Oaths, BRD songs and Flash) have no indicator, as a rule, yet some like Brutal Swing and Gust Slash show no signs at all. Also, Circle of Scorn/Spirits Within (maybe Repelling Shot too? Couldn't see clearly) use the weaponskill indicator despite being not. Maybe a mistake, maybe not. I retract the previous statement anyway, thank you for making me notice that. That sure saved me some headaches for seeing so many oGCDs in the DRK video lol.
