New Instanced Raids (03/07/2012)

[Choyi]

Maybe I'm jumping the gun here, but it was my impression that most people didn't like the timed aspect of the previous dungeons. I sure hope they reduced the amount of regular monsters they placed throughout the dungeon because I don't plan on participating in the trainfest that was Darkhold again.

I'm pefectly fine with instances being timed, the way darkhold was done was just poor design since there was no need or reason to kill most any mob besides the bosses.
They could either make mobs in dungeons not leesh (like for example WoW does with trash mobs in instances) and/or have certain parts of dungeon require mobs to defeated to enter (like the gates in strongholds).

Don't be too surprised if the new instances until 2.0 follow the exact Darkhold/totorak formula however.

At 0:41 the Mnk is under Hundred Fists, the skill last 15 secs for 15 min recast.

Skill bar 1, skill 7 is Sap (or a completly new skill which would mean Sap has been deleted => seems unlikely)
Skill bar 2, skill 5 is Dragon Kick
Skill bar 3, skill 6 is Hundred Fists
Skill bar 3, skill 7 is Kick
Skill bar 3, skill 10 is Fists of Wind

dont know if anyone replied but since in the job announcement they said you get 5 i assume its 5, and I assume the monk ability is a new animation for pounce

Its different icon than Pounce, has different cooldown, and doesnt use TP (actually gains TP). Very curious what it is!

Hrmm, Sap is what he uses when he dashes in. That seems quite contrary to the description. They must've changed it.

I knew the trolls were in here somewhere.. they were all asleep :O

Well the white knights need something to defend against huh ?

I think the timed aspect is pointless, I would rather take my time and kill everything in an instance, plus it would be a nice alternative for level 45's to go in and XP off the trash.

I would like to see dungeon bosses have no leesh like you say above, that way people would be forced to kill the trash that at least aggros them.

Sure do hope your wrong about this..

Making Fist of Wind a Job only skill would be a Severe Gimp to the PGL class.

Or it would make the MNK more appealing to play as which is what they're supposed to do?

100% with Jinko on this one. Getting Sick of SE trying to tell us running through a Dungeon as fast as possible without seeing or doing anything is a challenge.

Other than that, it looks like fun.

Can't wait to see the second dungeon. (dragons aery?)

No, Jobs are supposed to make you more effective in a party, not more appealing to play. If there is one thing PGL should have at it's disposal, it's all of it elemental stances. Take anything else, but not that.
