Battle System for Bloodstorm

[Tam_Hawkins]

Yoshida said to expect big juicy news about the expansion in the Frankfurt Fanfest so I guess we have no other choice but wait.

One more month then, good good^^

Did they say anything about something like provoke or even blood for blood being split among classes?

I'm 99,99999% sure that provoke will be one of the split skills it would not make any sense otherwise.
I'm not so sure about blood for blood as that has no equivallent for other dd classes nor is it absolutly necessary, but I would imagine that they just throw every overlaping skill as well as all or at lost most of the cross class skills into this pool.
-> Just my assumptions thought, as far as I know they only gave the infos Fevelle linked to.

I would expect some version of damage boost like blood for blood or raging strikes.
I would also expect all the dps getting some version of invigorate.

Is anyone else not a fan of job homogenization?
It was a disaster for MCH and BRD. I'd rather see a continuation of job/class abilities that make each unique, along with the elimination of cross class altogether.

I'm not a fan of homogenization, but i think i f thei do this right (IF!!!) then this will be the exact oposite of homogenization, as they free overlapping skill slots and as they said they will fill them with UNIQUE skills.

They also mentioned that they will be deleting abilities that are hardly used. Fracture was an example as was the DRG abilities: Feint and Keen Flurry.

Which is a shame, in terms of Fracture, if they understood why it's useless, they could fix it and it's simple really. Fracture is a combo breaker that does nothing to help with gaining wrath/abandon.

Honestly, would it be so OP if Fracture could be used instead of Heavy Swing in a combo opener? 150 potency/70 TP cost compared to Fracture's 80/300 total. . . which ya might be a little OP, maybe it the TP value was 110 it could work but I do feel like Fracture could remain if they just integrated it in some way to help with gaining wrath/abandon since honestly, that's the only reason why it's worthless to Warrior.

War will prolly keep fracture, or it will be consolidated into something else for war. Were ppl are saying fracture will prolly be removed is in the cross class sense, since for war as a main skill it is still "used" but as a cross class skill it is very niche and not as useful.

[ADVSS]

guessing tanks cc will look alot like this : Foresight, provoke, convalesence,awareness,bloodbath, mercy stroke(or not)
that would free up 4 skills from the pld, but then it seems a bit uneven for war.

I use both of those often. D: Keen Flurry if i take aggro and Feint to slow mobs that chase the healer/pvp targets (so they cant escape fufufufu.)
I hope they add something similar/better :/

This means we won't share cleric stance anymore ? Sch/ast will have their own " CS", i wonder what's gonna be
