HW added WM, SB is taking away WM. automatically makes it better lol.
seriously though, the overall direction they are taking the battle system seems much better.
Didn't read....BUT the whole 'you won't be under geared thing' is weird? No one was under geared at HW launch for dungeons. The gear you are speaking of will be the new tome gear...added 2 weeks after launch....with the usual cap.
There will be a free AF gear for the first lvl 70 you will raise.
People were undergeared for dungeons, though. Quite a number of people were just a couple ilvls too low to queue for them, upon reaching level 60.
I'm quite hyped for the battle system changes too but I think it's a bit of an overstatement to call it a "revamp", if anything it will be slightly more streamlined since many skills will be either removed or merged with others for the sake of simplifying rotations and ease up space on our hotbars. The job UI designs are incredibly good and intuitive, kudos on that for sure, it's definitely a change in the right direction.
On the one hand they're getting rid of the cast times for bed/mch which instantly makes it better than HW. On the other hand we are leaving behind Ishgard which is a city of Elezen which instantly makes it worse than HW.
I'm not sure how I feel about it yet.
