No this isn't a ''anti'' your job thread because you feel it won't be up to par with the newer moves from others, this is a OPEN YOUR EYES THIS PLAYING field has just gotten a lot bigger

Order of excitement for new job abilities and gameplay

SMN,WAR, BRD,PLD,MNK,DRG,NIN,WHM,DRK,MCH,AST,SCH
First off SMN-
All SMNs crying over the forums about ''skins'' essentially can cry me a river. You literally get to go GOD MODE for a CD (Dreadwyrm Stacks) on top of still applying DoTs , and whatever other off GCD moves are available . Like YOU've literally got a complete re-design but yet still whine over a skin basically , give me a break, DEVs heard the cries about your DPS and not wanting to be fighting over that 7th agro bar spot with the SCH and now you've gotten potential to be a top flight DPS but since you don't have a pretty pet , you might as well play another class ? TF YOU GET AHK MORN ? Gets Ahk Morn but complains over pets #yoshi is shaking his head

I'll group the Two TANKS

PLD & WAR-
This will still be the Tanking COMBO no if ands or buts
PLD-AOE Defensive CD that buffs party is a plus, you get a more viable DPS chain PLUS, you still have the best defense in the game (HW two mobs can kill you past 53 supposedly so yeah) ....WAR will still bring the 2nd hand DPS in end game content than anyother tank so its a no brainer, the new stance will bring an increase to DPS overall while being able to switch to full stacks of wrath for MT swapping...... PLD and WAR ftw .....astheitcs and lore for those who play DRK I truly feel it will be nothing more than a fan-boy thing to see any DRKs in end game over these two tanks....sorry not sorry

MNK- Now I couldn't grasp a whole lot but I've come to confirm that if you couldn't play this job effectively in 2.5 and lower , don't even try considering to mastering it in 3.0. This job will be for the ''elites'' and those dedicated to effective off GCD management of skills , and also timing. A new move that will deplinsh all G3 stacks for a devestating blow...yeah MNK about to get more OP...also with meditiation stacks that replinish TP O.o ....Goad wut ?

DRG- Beginner Melee with nice armor and oh yeah new branch combos with proc capabilities.....optimisim here

NIN-Thank god no new Mudra combos (some NINs still throwing that Doton under BK) but I love the addition of postitionals , hopefully no more than two. I feel it takes the most thought out of all the melee to play so adding in other postitionals to factor in I think will be a blow to the NINs ability to strike from whereever really swift and quick.

WHM- AoE HoT ? Stone III and Aero III ? More effective DPS ? Hmm no complaints here just pure speculation on will it still be the top AOE healer and be the most effective co-healer to AST or SCH. You also get lustrate , if no one caught that . You get a lessend version of Benedicition which I can only equate to a SCHs aether Lustrate Stacks.

BRD- You know might as well park yourself next to a BLM and get ready to blow some shit up. Charge Shot -----DMG booster by a long shot, but can only be played under the effect of the new song given to the class.....but you can play 2 @ once sooooooo yeah. So I see spike DMG in something like phases 2 of T13 where movement from ranged isn't needed as much , just to give you a look at a time where you'll be charging your arrows/ I honestly think this change will benefit the class as I doubt they would add this mechanic without complete downtime in some fights where movmenet isn't required...hell BLM pretty much stands in a HIT ME BOX with it's new haste spell

BLM-If you complain about anything , I will find you
(You guys go the most indepth insight at your job)
And you've only gotten better.....New Rotation ...no more fire spam and blizz 3 regen....noobs will have to get gud to actually play BLM again.... Looking forward to all of the BLMs trying to use Ward while in there haste circle and getting splatted lol.....I love this game

MCH- BRD with a pet on auto attack.....Doesn't seem to be buffing the party as much as a BRD unless someone gathered more info then me ( I don't care , I was half asleep) Seems this class will also be a pref. Job as I still feel the BRD brings more utilites with added DPS to the Table

although the party make up for the previewed primal was

PLD,DRK,WHM,AST,NIN,MNK,BLM,MCH

so that might also be a trend which I think it will be traditional

PLD,WAR,WHM, (SCH or AST), NIN, MNK , BLM, BRD still being the ranged physical

SMN might come in to play if it can overtake the AOE dps king. Tri Disaster topped with Bane = Fast DoTs on yop of SS boost to DoTs....not to mention Ahk Morn looking like a AoE burst....Watch out BLM



back to jobs

SCH- we literally got the worst upgrades and it's going to take a lot not switch your Job this summer

We got Cure II , and sacrafice Eos to the La La gods ( although I will be using this move everytime I open a end game content chest) ...sacrifice Eos to the RNG gods....anyways ...I main SCH and have for a year and a halr ....and my job is the one Im least excitied for , although it WAS MENTIONED that SCH will be the most effective in end game content....and that from 50-59 you won't really see the reason for changes/add ons , until presented in the end game situations.....that plus auto pet heals and seemingly nothing wrong with the Job to me is why I will still Main SCH in 3.0 ...ALL BIAS WE DA BEST

AST-Give me a break
From what I gathered is ....F A WHM and F a SCH ...I'm rolling AST...why ....cause Haste + Huton just spells disaster for what ever poor creature your party just stumbled upon ....not to mention BLMs new Haste.....Also You can switch from being a SCH to a WHM....maybe on a lower scale but sill with the ability to do so...I think you will need one of the other to compliment you and it seems more fitting it will be the SCH...bias

AST seems like the sure party locked healer , so those waiting for that perfect chance to go at it , I think you make the switch in HW


This thread is pure optimisim because I think the DEVs delivered knock out upgrades and great overally presentation of the new moves and the whole 9.....so stoked for HW and that 11000 MP for BLM was insane also 9,800 HP ? My god , I can only imagine the encounters.....
