Glamour Skills

[GrumbleBeard]

I support all the suggestions in this thread. It's sad when you can't even get excited for new expansions because every time they get rid of good animations. I absolutely despise Soul Eater on drk and I loved Power Slash, Delirium, and Scourge. Of course they get rid of all of them. I liked Butcher's Block on war so of course it's gone.

I also like the idea of glam jobs. It should be easy to implement, class balance stays the same with just animations changing. It would be great to see some for monk that focus on different styles of martial arts.

Not sure I would even use this if it were added, but I'll definitely support it being added.

What if they replaced limited jobs with glam jobs. Basically after already having a job at max level, gaining the ability to start leveling corresponding glam job from level 15-60 (xp bonus perhaps). More time sinks as well as increased activity in older instances. I definitely see lots of people interested in leveling alt glam job for their main(s).

Give Scholars access to the Carbuncle glamours and I’ll probably stop playing White Mage.

I'm sure this has already been asked or said before but I'm really hoping that we'll someday get the option to glamour skills that upgrade via traits to look like their lower level versions, like making Broil III look like Broil, or Royal Authority look like Rage of Halone. It's not a big deal but I think it could help some healers enjoy their glare/broil/malefic spam more.

I don't know, I just miss Broil to be honest...

Malefic IV looks way cooler than the other 3... same for Combust III with its cooler cast animation.

Stone 3 looks more impactful than Stone IV which looks like a lower res rip off of the Earthquake tech from Chrono Cross.

Still this is a nice idea and I can think of a few skills I would glam.

I miss that one bard aoe animation. Rain of arrows? Or something? The one where you do a sick flip jump and it just rains arrows around your target. That one. I want that one back.

Yeah, it has been asked for quite a few times already.
Even made a [Suggestion] thread back at Shadowbringers start:

While idea is certainly sounds awesome, should not be extremely hard to implement and would add a lot of diversity it seems not too much people care about old animations. Especially new players (who probably don't even know they exist).
So it's kinda hard to make enough ruckus to catch someones attention =/
But there is always a chance devs already have something like this in mind.

We should just have all of our skills unlocked in lower level dungeons - it'd make doing low level duties more worthwhile & more than just falling asleep

A system like this could be really good for changing the vibe of a job, without messing with anything gameplay related. I know myself and many others liked it when mch was more gunslinger oriented, or just prefer gunslinger in general, and you could get that vibe out of current mchs kit with just animation changes:

Heated Combo-> unheated animations
Reassemble-> Quick Reload
Hypercharge -> Reload
Air Anchor -> Head Graze (with its impact and screen shake effects back from HW)
Drill-> Rend Mind (honestly the coolest looking mch animation from HW, so confusing why it was used for debuff not an attack)
