There Is No Dancer (yet)

[silentwindfr]

While I have my doubts about it being dancer, it has to be pointed out that the animations she used in the trailer were exclusively pugilist abilities(demolish, snap punch, featherfoot, and fist of wind), so they could go the silly split soulstone route again. As far as the blade weapon is concerned though, there are far more monk weapons with blades than there are without them. Hell, the level 57 monk weapons is

i want to point out, like on another thread, that the featherfoot skill was show as one of the reassement skill of the monk. i can see a few skill of the monk that need reassement, if i had to give example it will be:
- featherfoot (like show in the keynote)
- haymaker, it's a rest of the V1 that have no real actual use in our tools
- fist of the wind, it have little effect and don't stand the comparaison with the other buff.
- arm of the destroyer, sadly this skill (for it first role) don't work. not that it don't silence stuff, but we have other jobs far better for this than us.
- One Ilm Punch, this skill can maybe have a use in pvp, but in pve i have never use it...

normally i will add purification to the list, but on some really rare fight it can be usefull.

most of the skill i did pointed are skill we barely use and can be changed into stuff that will really be used.
some stuff like chi blast, or front position combo skill for solo.

don't get me wrong some of the skill i did pointed are kinda usefull for OTHER class and jobs.... like featherfoot that is really usefull for the tank. but only have really good interest in solo when badly equiped.

anyway, all we did say it's when we did see here move and such, for me it didn't scream monk more than this. for me it was more dancer. i have often said that i see the dancer using a similar system than monk but instead to rely mostly on fist, will be more a kick based jobs that will have skill for buff her team while fighting.

a melee support class what we don't have, soo far we do have the bard and machinist, but they are ranged. without forget that add a jobs that will probably mostly kick will have as damage type blunt, what we lack too.... then is not that far stretched.

ps: i guess i did play monk for too long for notice the difference, yes she use what look like snap punch, but that a straight fist attack quite basic, but she use too some insane move that are quite acrobatic, she is almost at half way between monk and ninja. for me she is not monk for sure.

fight with your hand and feet are not limited to monk only, seeing a jobs based on kick mostly is not impossible.... then.
