Thread: Making Jobs Rotationally Easier in 4.0

I don't think removing stances would do that. Drk would still have to manage it's MP around having enough for Dark Arts and enhancing it's moves to maximize it's performance. Warrior would still be dependent on stacks to execute their moves, all removing their stances would do is remove the one button press to swap to Deliverance/Defiance to use the move they want, not exactly a horrific loss of gameplay diversity. Removing stances on Pld would basically change nothing at all about their gameplay choices so I agree paladin needs some sort of extra mechanic to make tanking with it more engaging, but I don't think stance dependent moves are the solution.

We can agree to disagree on that one, as in my opinion you have still simplified gameplay and the job feels a lot more hollow. However what I could propose is removing the DPS stance (except darkside as it's more like a bard song than a stance), and simply having the one button for stance dancing. All of WARs moves would then say "when defiance is turned on" and "when defiance is turned off", and PLD could share this.

Remember that the devs have stated that jobs will be as difficult to play as they are in Heavensward, but not more difficult.
