Is anyone else more confused than ever, did SE mask bad changes with good ones.

It for sure seems better than the cross skill system we have now. I have all the jobs and I don't see what kind of disadvantage it gives to us, actually it makes a job full playable without the need of levelling another one to get a skill you should need

For Yoshi hotbar you should heck it better: many icons were trash like macros, items and double skills. If you check it again you'll notice that there's only one type of skills with evolutions (like Thunder > Thunder 3, Blizzard > Blizzard 3, Stone > Stone 2 > Stone 3 ecc) it's a lot more space.

It takes away uniqueness unless they give , each job their own animations, shadow skin had an amazing animation , low blow something that was unique to drk alone is just something everyone can have now, so I dont see how its better are benefiting anyone who already had their skills already. Couldn't they have just simply given jobs those abilities for those whom wanted to only play one role and just done away with the whole shared abilities in general. Perfect example was that for healers whm basicly had every single skill in the cross role system now but now its just in a shared role system like what is the point in that really.

Im still tryin to figure this one out this seems to only benefit new players and I thought that was what jump potions and stuff was for. Cross role now a healer can actually chose whether they want a status debuff or not I promise you that some healers wont even take it so how does this benefit anyone at all. They made great changes, wm gone , acc gone, parry gone, healers dpsing from mind but this cross role system just isnt sittin well with me especially if its taking some good skills away.

I see it as a clean up, it simplifies things especially I for those that play multiple jobs.

For the animations I'm pretty sure they will be the aame for everyone, in the trailer the DRG does a "LowBlow".

Other than that it's not like jobs are only losing animations, they have new skills too which are individual.

Let's take DRK as an example: Reprisal is now shared and probably tweaked but gains that Atroh/Sacrifice-looking and Climhazzard-looking skills. Shadowall animation is used for that new protective skill so Shadowskin animation might be the new Shadowall..

What I mean is: those skill where the same in the first place, it makes everything cleaner now but on the other side every job is getting their on share of new individual skills

yes, they could have but it's not simple. and they want to still give players the illusion of choice.

and yes, there's probably an overall nerf to Warrior with the changes. every raid group being DRK+WAR or PLD+WAR was a problem. maybe with these changes PLD+DRK will also be viable.

you don't know all the details, so of course you're going to be confused if you try to make sense of everything when it's actually impossible to.

I think now they made it possible for drk, pali, if they have a samurai because now they also have the slashing debuff. But of course warrior is still gona be in the picture but they kinda boasted it but kinda nerfed it at the same time.
