I like these features and wish they would focus more on those strengths in development, I'm worried about every fight being structured like ifrit where I just end up spamming spike WS and trying not to get killed for it. that's so cookie cutter.
Has nothing to do with how fully you play a class, it has everything to do with understanding the mechanics of some fights. whats the point of using Moonrise or Twisting vice to prolong a fight when you could just kill them and be on your way? especially since they nerfed Twisting vice to being much less useful. Lancer moved away from being a support class quite some time ago. And though I enjoyed being a DD support class, I personally like the direction LNC is moving to. And lets be honest we where only semi support we had more CCs or Damage abilities then enemy TP management abilities.
