I guess they still have the Dragon Kick INT debuff, which can help in 1 or 2 fights I suppose, not nearly as good but its sometihng. But I guess we'll see.

Dragon Kick helps with any fight were a lot of magic is going out, which is most of them actually. Why do you think Dragoon's lacking Magic Defense is such as issue.

How do you magically add a new ability without level increase? O.o

Is every class getting a new ability or just CNJ/WHM?

You just give it to everyone, you tact it on an existing trait such as granite skin

No, not every class is getting a new ability.

If this is a question is in the form of jealously its an out of combat tweak to speed up content so WhiteMage's don't have to Stoneskin on everyone individually and can cast one spell instead of one spell 4-8 times. This benefits everyone as you can pull that boss faster or get an extra attempt on raid night as you haven't wasted X time waiting for people to gather and buff everyone individually.

Say thank you and be grateful.

No, it was a general question since I didn't see that in the Q&A. Is it a modification to Graniteskin trait or just tacked on to Stoneskin? There are a set # of abilities/traits currently existing so it's a fair question if they are adding a slot for a new ability before level cap increase.

And No, ROG/NIN have the same # of abilities and traits as the other classes, the additional abilities are from Mudras. You could say the same about SMN having more abilities than other classes because of pet actions, but they still have the same # of abilities/traits that are unlocked at specific levels.

It's not a new ability.

Rogue already has more abilities than any other class, don't they? They get mug and the throwing knife one at 15. So please, let's not go there.

Coulda sworn this was the reason SMN's cant get new summons until level cap increase. WTF is going on with egi's now?

because this is a QoL thing rather than something that drastically changes gameplay.

this shaves off about 12-20 seconds of waiting period between encounters while healers buff the party, and that's it.
