Let's Talk Benchmark and Skills~

[dragonseth07]

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.

Well, they do have to be interchangeable for all content, right? There have to be a lot of similarities in what they can do.

This actually scare the living hell out of me regarding the skill "revamp".......

Revamp is taking unused skills and merging/changing or removing them. Not changing every spell and skill in a kit? Why would that scare you in the slightest from a Benchmark?

[ThirdChild_ZKI]

MCH Flamethrower.

Time to set the world on fire!

Ninja frog summon intrigues me because it appears to be a jutsu that is cast at the end of a combo. From what we saw the Frog used a form of katon, so it's possible we may learn other animals/have access to other animals that are used in other combo finishers, that's my hope at least.

For this "It's starting to feel like all tanks will have more or less the same skills."

Yeah the 2nd really cool new skill i saw in the video, the ninja summons is the 1st.

Someone in another thread suggested the BLM spell we saw was, 'Burst,' the lightning aspected Ancient Magic we've been missing (Flare for Fire, Freeze for Ice).

[Daniolaut]

Hopefully casting cannot be interrupted for PLD lmfao.

.

Maybe thats what the first animation that paladin does just before holy is signifying? Anti-interruption?

Monk
-Gains back Simian Thrash (1.0 skill- if not the same skill, the animation has returned)
-Does Fist of Earth, extra pose and literal dodge animation; gains a buff from dodging enemy attack and it seems to go away with Simian Thrash-like animation.

What you're calling Simian Thrash is just Tornado Kick.

It seems like Monk has an ability that lets us go from no stacks of Greased Lightning to 3 Stacks, which is kind of...so so. We technically already have that in the form of Perfect Balance so I'm gonna hope that it's something else and they just reduce the timer on Perfect Balance.

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!

Maybe the fairy is covering the party member? Might be that instead of getting rid of cover they want it spread it around enough jobs so that they can use it in encounter design.
