Reaper speculation thread

[Kalaam]

You are not listening. There is a reveal trailer in which we got 30 seconds of combat footage of the class in action on a single target, all showcasing single target attacks and the class's burst phase, and 30 seconds of it posing. It takes about 40 seconds for them to showcase everything the class has to offer in the job action trailer; single target, AoE, buffing. Compare the Dancer reveal trailer and the combat footage in it to the later full on reveal in the job action trailer; 90-95% of its single-target toolkit was shown in the reveal trailer.

If you got 30 seconds of footage showcasing different attacks on a target and it takes 40 seconds to give you the whole picture of what the class is capable of, how much do you think is missing? Give me a percentage, how much do you think is missing and hidden away in that extra ten seconds? 80% of the class's abilities? I think we have seen at least 75% of what this class can do. Give me your percentage.

You're the one not listening. We don't even KNOW how many abilities jobs will have at level 90.
Yes, the teaser gives the base concept of the job. Which is "X% of what the class can do". Just like you just need to see a dragoon turn on Blood of the dragon, do 1 or 2 weapon skills and use Jump to know what it's all about.

This karl guy is the same type of person who probably believes this new *melee DPS* is going to have a tank-tier rotation complete with fell cleave spam. Come on. This is a melee DPS, not a tank.

They will have about the same number of abilities they do now; just like how when went from 70-80 they pruned a couple of abilities and added a couple of new ones for each class. Yoshida likes to keep class abilities within this number range; at most you will have 2-3 more abilities then you have now on each class. It will still only take them about 40-45 seconds to showcase all job actions when the Endwalker job trailer drops. Going back to Reaper the teaser gave 3 basic combo hits, the OGCD voidsent popped up to do the same attack twice and a self-buff that changed their appearance before they proceeded to spam the same attack three times. This took 30 seconds to show. How much more do you think you are going to get in extra 10-15 seconds? Two more combos? Remember they still have to show off the AoE attacks as well.

Then tell me how many more attacks do you think it is going to have? Job action trailer is going to have 40-45 seconds to showcase them all; you have already seen the class in action for 30 seconds and you haven't seen any AoE attacks yet. How many abilities do you think you are going to get?
