Reactive Combat

[Kiote]

The only reaction skill that is becoming exclusive that wasn't before is Jarring Strike. It's really not as big of a deal as you are making it out to be and the combos will most likely give everyone more than enough involvement in battles since you have to position and in some cases stun enemies to get behind them and such.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news my friend, but you need to go read that list again. Phalanx, Feint, Jarring Strike, and Fracture are all being changed to class specific.

I'm sure combos will offer some kind of depth to combat, but it will not be nearly to the extent it could be if we had both Combos and Reactionary Skills.

Fracture is the only one I missed, for whatever reason I thought Maim was the parry skill. Anyways, Phalanx is only usable with a shield and it increases enmity so you would only use it on... Gladiator. And it's becoming exclusive so no loss there. Gladiators also can't parry because you can't parry with a shield.

Fracture is becoming exclusive but MRD's other parry reaction is not exclusive.

Feint isn't becoming exclusive either.

Melee attack. Can only be used immediately after missing an attack.

LNC WS 8 is not marked as exclusive and is the same function as Feint. However...

Melee attack with increased TP generation. Can only be used immediately after missing an attack.

LNC WS 9 IS marked as exclusive but as far as I know does not currently exist in-game.

The only "major" skill that is being "lost" is Jarring Strike.

And this is a post about battle mechanics. It's good that the mods are sticking posts in the appropriate place.
