Live Letter Predictions!!!

[SpeckledBurd]

What’s almost a sure bet: a deeper dive into ShB Dark Knight and Machinist. Dark Knight is the coming poster job and they mentioned a rework in 4.3’s live letter. Machinist has been profoundly disliked all expansion and they’ve mentioned they’re taking feedback for it multiple times. We’ll also be told what changes to TP/MP will mean and changes to Role Skills. My bet is on all TP skills being free since it basically just serves to make DoW even weaker than the casters on that front than they already are. Also obviously: the action showcase.

What’s possible but not quite as sure: White Mage and Monk deep dives. Both jobs have been heavily criticized for their Stormblood iterations and the devs have said that they’ve taken plenty of feedback on both, I don’t think they’re as sure as Machinist or Dark Knight because they’re lower profile. Likely a bigger look at Viera and Hrothgar. We may see the benchmark finally drop, but it could also just be a date for when they release it.

Oh wow that is this week!! I at the very least expect them to fully explain how trusts will work, healer balancing, TP/MP merger and for them to give us information on Job reworks.

What I would like to see: 4th healer reveal! Y'know, the whole balancing healers was just one big JK. I can only dream, right?

Which gear dancer will use

Probably Aiming for at least 60-70 and then 71+ still aiming unless they want to go the ninja route and give it it's own stuff except for the few times it'll also share Aiming accessories.

Why so many hope for a Tenacity rework? Do you not understand why defensive stats are all dead or something?

Yoshida makes an innocuous announcement and the forums riot.

Only guaranteed prediction here.

To be completely fair, if he were to give everyone $100 people would still complain that it wasn't $101.

I've seen arguments for it sharing with ninja to giver ninja a gear share slot. Also seen people talk about ninja sharing gear with aiming in general. IT most likely will be aiming but it be nice to see if share with ninja...also cause ninjas gear tends to dye better

There are a few reasons why sharing Scouting gear with ninja would make sense.

It would spread gear more fairly, with two classes competing for each type instead of three for Aiming and one for Scouting.

Dancer's weaponry (chakrams and throwing-knives) would do slashing damage like ninja, not piercing like bard/machinist.

And visually, Scouting has more gear suited to dancer glamours, at least in my opinion.
