We gotta get another trait, so maybe it'll be dope as hell.

Good point. But I imagine it will be the same level proshell was before, so a low level trait. might not be so awesome

I am gonna put down my thoughts about the new skills once I'm home from work, but on the topic of Proshell being given to everyone else - I can't believe I called it three months ago @.@ Even if it was a good reason to call, lol.

I hope that if they remove the Proshell trait the new trait we get to replace it has something about boosting the power of Cleric's Stance. Given some of the discussion already in the thread about WHMs getting a ton of new attack abilities, I can somehow see this.

I'm confused when it comes to AST. Is the job going to be heavily governed by RNG?

As far as I can tell, it sounds like only the card buffs are going to be RNG based, and even then you have options to deal with not getting what you wanted. The actual healing spells are not RNG.

On another note, watching it again it looks like SCH gets another atk spell too but they didn't mention it in the overview.

This sounds about right. eg, the cards in AST = Fairy in SCH. Likely there will be a CD on how frequently a card can be drawn, thus things like Haste lower CD's.

Lyrocis said it. Heals (or shields in shield stance) do not sound RNG based, just extra-on-top buffs. Like haste.

I hope they get an ability called Hasty Draw that has a 50% chance to draw the card they want, but if it doesn't it just fails.

Sure, as long as they get a Careful Draw that has a 100% chance of success that further boosts the card's effect by 20%. >:P

Bayhone's translation is a bit more clear on the SCH actions I think http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...t-Thread/page2

edit-also the official FF vid is up, slightly better quality https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbvv...ature=youtu.be

...Assize?

Well, if there's anything that Final Fantasy 14 repeatedly succeeds at, it's making me pick up a dictionary.
