Hi!

In the Expansion I want to try Machinist and make that my new main. The problem being the current game-structure. Will the Machinist be physical or magical? Most likely physical right? And what will then happen to the magical only parts in raids like the cube in T11, adds in T13 and so on. Also there is the issue with the LB, will bards and machinists get a AOE LB? (needed för T10)

How will the raids be constructed in Heavensward? Will you still be forced to have a caster (BLM or SMN) in raid for magical damage and AOE LB? Or can a makeup like Machinist, Bard, Melee, Melee work?

I sort of need to know this before the expansion hits since I want to hit the ground running on expansion day and hopefully try out the new raids the same week.

Thank you for your time and I really hope DEVs will give at least a pointer to the answer like: "No, in Heavensward you will not be forced to have BLM / SMN in a raid group to conquer it."
