Thread: Pre-4.0 Concern

Some people overreact by either threatening to unsub or say that they will refuse to take x class into a raid, dungeon, etc. For almost everyone else, life will go on, and most changes will go unrecognized by the majority of players.

Sorry for the double post. Site is odd at times.

Two things I would change is Cascade having a large AoE ground target that sucks all enemies in like Whirlpool and binds, makes life easier for tanks. Potentially.

As for Benson, I would give it single target but adds 1:1 Reflect up to the max amount the shield HP is.

Another idea is you have two gauges on the UI. Lily is for healing skills and Confession is for damage skills.

I have to know - is the doom and gloom mentality always the thing to do in the weeks before an expansion? It's happening in the tank and DPS forums as well (though maybe not to the extent of us here) and I want to get an idea of how seriously to take it. There are thresds about unsubbing, even threads complaining about classes like AST that recieved pretty much exclusively buffs.

So are we always chicken little before an expansion or is Stormblood unique and I should actually be concerned? I swear I'm not trying to poke fun at anyone here, I'd just like to know the appropriate level of concern.

This about normal these days for western players of any mmo these days. People say they want change but when they get it they freak out before trying it. Sometimes it's justified sometimes not. Also, all the game is dying or doomed people like to rear their heads around expansions or major patches. Nothing new lately in the mmo world.
