DNC and SAM will be married again and SCH is once more the god tier super healer of optimization. Meanwhile, the expansion mascot meme continues as PLD goes straight into the bin. We'll have to wait on the patch notes but they may have locked WAR/DRK/SCH/AST/DRG/SAM/BRD/BLM as the de-facto comp by a significant margin. NIN and GNB can probably sneak in, and you probably won't feel too bad bringing one of SGE/WHM but could be Stormblood all over again.
Logs are defaulted to rDPS. WAR literally doesn't care who is in their party as long as kill time ends in :15. On the other hand, it finally gives SCH/DRG/DNC a reason to have a previously zero-contributing WAR in their team instead of defaulting to double DRK cause 2-minute burst go brrr.
