    After watching the demonstration a few more times, I think I pinned down part of why I'm not terribly keen on the class, and that's that they opted to attach the gaudy green/red and black slashing visuals to all of their scythe attacks, which makes them very indistinct outside of the directions the slashes are going in.

    The other melee jobs have much tamer special effects on their combo moves, which places more emphasis on the animations and it's generally only their combo finishers that tend to have much visual flair.

    I think I'd like the job better if it placed a similar emphasis on animations over visual effects by reserving the fancy colors for their combo finishers and other moves you're not going to be spamming all the time.

    Total opposite for me. How flashy the attacks are is a big component in my interest.

    I am pretty interested in this job, and I may go farm a few maimimg glams just in case, but the devil is in the combat rotation and we won't know anything about that until like, October probably.

    Yeah they look so good! leaves me to wonder if the upgraded parts of the engine. we saw some improvements with shadowbringers, but they seem now more polished than ever. i‘m excited to see the job skill showcase now!


    Im also curious if summoner will have something similar with the egis? im pretty much certain they‘ll remove them now and do something similar like they did with reapers pet.
