Unfortunately, not the case it appears. From what I'm comprehending of the changes it's now a 1-2-3 class and our CD's are inferior versions of other tanks and we do less damage. Please someone correct me if i'm misinterpreting. I'd love to be wrong.

If that's the case maybe I'll just switch to Gunbreaker, or stay Warrior as my main tank..

I don’t really care about combat content unfortunately. Any content for crafters?

From what I garnered from Mr Happy videos, is that warrior is going to be the easiest tank, paladin and Dark got shafted. They still use MP for skills and have MP regen stuff of course. Warrior used TP, well now all the skills cost nothing, absolutely nothing. Hilarious

Damn that's extra messed up. I've got no words. I'd be lying if I said this didn't diminish my hype a bit.

Going through the healing stuff now. My other favorite class Scholar was completely gutted. All healers have 1 dot and 1 attack only(EDIT: Actually is 1 single target dps, 1 aoe dps, and 1 dot)? Guess they really meant it when they said, "Healers will be thoroughly re-balanced to emphasize a pure healing role".

I thought I'd be upset at the Bard changes, but I'm actually quite pleased with them. The refulgent arrow changes are what stuck out to me the most, along with the new use of barrage in conjunction with it. It does sound like it'll make my life way easier with those moves and honestly, in my opinion, Bard feels a whole lot more fluid than what it is now. I thought I'd jump ship because I wouldn't like the changes to Bard, but I can definitely live with how the way things are going. Still going to be Dancer for my static, but it looks like I'll have Bard in my back pocket just in case!

The 1 2 3 is still there, however, you can use CD as long you have MP for it. Considering you can regen MP form several resources, skills dealt less damage individually but overall looks they do way more than PLD at least (impossible to know GNB rigth now). DRK it is still a OGCD tank, so that's the source of it resources and DPS. you will stop spaming Dark Arts to spam Edge of Shadow (your MP consume skill) as CD that deals 500 potency at the cost of 3000 MP and 2 seconds recast (And extend darkside buff wich also increase damage dealt). Plus you have the clone that will spam every CD you have for 20 seconds.

I don't think it will be below other tanks at all.

They totally destroy MCH - no more fun form playing it because now you have 8 skills in total on hot bar, no more management heat, hot shot buff, turrets, ammunition, correct unique rotation (121323), now you are boring 1,2,3 with 2 ogcd and one buff and when you active it you can spam ONE BUTTON. You cant even overheat now. Your main sills now have permanent upgrade at lvl 60-70. Mch was a hard class with many support skills, after 5.0 its pure dps with no dps because its range class so have poor potency and all buffs dances cards are only for monk and dragoon. In general MCH its a boring class for WoW players who like spam 1,2,3 and release once for minute cool robot who are just shot and forgot because even those thing have "automatic ultimate shoot" - to make sure you don't miss it. What a CRAP. We need FFXIV Classic.

Is there any other Videos of Viera emotes? MQT skipped /happy and /laugh for some reason, and those 2 were the ones I wanted to see the most.
