Let's Talk Benchmark and Skills~

Mainly, to see what everyone has noticed.

This is what I've noticed so far:

Monk
-Does Fist of Earth, extra pose and literal dodge animation; gains a buff from dodging enemy attack and it seems to go away with Tornado Kick.
-Note the lack of Greased Lightning; either it is no longer required (think Enochian being an auto buff now on BLM) or it allows the use of Tornado Kick outside of GL3.

Astrologian
-New cards: The Knave, The Lord and The Lady

-Cast on enemy? (it didn't look like it was cast on an ally) or was self buffed.

I personally am 99.99% sure its holy/holy variant that Paladin is casting.

PLD holy in stormblood trailer:



WHM holy in game:




PLD zoomed in on a specific part of the animation:

Another interesting part of the paladin's animation, is there might be more to it than just holy:

PLD is definitely getting a mini-Holy attack. Sadly, it looks like it's a skill with a castbar. Hopefully casting cannot be interrupted for PLD lmfao.

DRK seems to be getting something similar to Cover, though it looks more like a single-target shield than Cover itself.

WAR is getting a gap closer, which is equal times cool and terrible. It's starting to feel like all tanks will have more or less the same skills.


As for the healers, the new cards look great, though I'm more interested about SCH's new fairy ability. She seems to tether to a party member, but for what purpose? Maybe her healing is buffed for that party member? Or maybe it's SE's new way of getting rid of her by giving the party member a buff while she's tethered and blocking her healing, lmao. Guess we can only wait and see!

WHM seems to be doing something that affects the whole party, but it's much less obvious than the others.

These fuckers wouldn't dare right?

I mean after fucking us and healers with 0 new class they cannot in their right mind flatten all the tank class in a generic mush.

I mean look at bard.......

OH FUCK
