A few concerns about Pictomancer

[Stormfur]

The arguments being presented here are hilarious. Thoughts on marketing have nothing to do with the job. Once the starter gear is off, Yoshi P will have zero control over your character model, your rotation, your raid progress, your glam, your emote usage. All of that is on you. Maybe you all are less afraid of the job itself and more afraid of what you'll do with it.

Which is what makes the game endearing. I don't care if the mage next to me is in a frog suit or the bard is a big elephant or a tutu wearng Roe. I do care when the Pictomancer is slapping aether paint all over the place with comic book effects and spoopy sounds and I can't see where to place my ground attack or whatever. It's not the player's fault... it's just bad design.

I'm starting to wonder if people are disappointed in the look because they're collectively getting that experience every grown up former Art Kid is so familiar with - getting one of these as a gift from a well meaning relative

You know how Ninja fails a mudra and gets a bunny on their head? Pictomancer fails a drawing and gets RoseArt LOL xD

This is the most insane argument yet because if you have battle effects on, they crossed the line of visual clarity a long ass time ago.

Please just stop pulling things out of the hat and just say it-- all of you. You don't like the way it looks or sounds. You had a preconceived idea of what it would be and it's not that. Whatever. You don't like it, let's just say it and move on.

The job is not some kind of threat to the game in any way shape or form, functionally or ideologically, or whatever other weird bullshit you want to bring up because some marketing made you uncomfy.
