A big Problem that MAY come up with Stormblood...

For the first few weeks maybe, but after that everyone will go back to what they play. We had the same concern when 3.0 launched and look how it went.

So is your issue flashiness or potency?

DRK seems like it will be ok. It effectively got its own Fel Cleave that it can use in Grit and Mana management should be easier since Darkside doesn't consume MP anymore. War has lots of flashiness, no longer has an issue with pacification on Berserk and gains some pretty potent cds. The only thing it seems to really be losing is its 10% damage reduction, which was a bit broken frankly, and some of its health regen.

Plus PLD looks amazing. Its got so many fixes. from its Blocks effecting magic, to the more controlled use of Sheltron using the Oath gauge, to finally having an AoE damage attack baseline. Plus its casts are now uninterruptable which was the primary issue with those casts.

What specifically is the issue?

Flashiness AND potencys are my issue. And one thing: As a Warrior you wont be cleaving very much anymore if you are the Tank cause Stancedancing rips your Gauges to Shreads. Yes PLD got an Aoe attack wich has NO enmity increase and only 100? Potency ATM. Flash still does no Damage. Maybe they should have combined those 2 actions. Drk looks aexactly the Same to me Skillwise. The only thing that looks new is his spinning shlash thingy wichs name i dont know. Seemingly you can unly use it in Tankstance wich makes it useless for Damage.

Personally, I'll still main MCH/BRD in Stromblood. However, I don't queue as DPs unless I'm doing the story or with friends who are tanks/healers. Mostly queue as Tank or healer when going solo. I also assume majority of players will do Stromblood MSQ with their Heavensward main jobs before switching to a new role.

Who knows.

Don't know about healers but I think tanks are getting new mounts and they are also increasing the adventurer in need reward. People doing mentor roulette might pick up some of the slack.

As much as I am looking forward to RDM I do not plan on leaving my Main AST behind. I'll def lvl that first and go through MSQ as an AST. And simultaneously level RDM. Of course, AST is getting more buffs than it is nerfs so I have no problems here :P

We dont get new Tankmounts. Its the old Ones with a bit of Armor. Just reskins so nothing worthwhile.

I am pretty sure the Wolves are new.

Mount collectors will probably still do it though even if they are old unless the requirements are really outrageous. If it's something like "Do X dungeons" people will see it a bonus that they are getting anyway.

Wolves are for extreme trials. We got ponies for ARR, birds for HW and wolves for SB.

Well I'll still be keeping DRK as my offspec so all's good :3
