War mains after seeing the skill trailer

[gman1311]

How are you war mains feeling right now after seeing the show case? Because I feel disappointed, compared to PLD and DRK, it doesn’t look like we got much.

You guys had much on the long run, be happy for the fix for our Brothers! /tankfist

The WAR skill trailer itself was not terribly impressive, but pretty much this. I'm 99.99% satisfied with the streamlining and glad we *presumably* will have 4 really badass and capable tank options. Like some of the other guys I just want to see more details on the abilities, see any % / CD / Duration / etc changes.

I'll take it with a grain of salt, but Yoshi did mention Warrior will still be the most powerful tank. :cheers:

I imagine what was shown in the trailer were really only 2? New skills, the TBN like shield and the axe twirl combo(?) for overpower that generates gauge. A few of them are just VFX updates to Inner Beast, Steel Cyclone, and funnily enough the old PVP Mythril Tempest skill.

Alot of classes that look like they didn't get much I'd wager are classes that really didn't need a rework and just got additional skills to their solid kit. War undoubtedly being one of them.

Let's just wait till 29th for the media tour embargo to lift and we will see the rest of WARs new kills. Feller Cleave rumors are most likely real at this rate as well.

I'll be appeased when I see the potency of the "bigger Fell Cleave".
Edit: Inner Chaos appeased me. Although, not a fan of the recycled animation.

We've had the benefit of being the top tank for the longest time so I'm happy to see the other tanks get some love.

We honestly don't need much past that targetable shield as a WAR being an OT in Stormblood is a waste of potential.

DRK looked "impressive" and like it got a bunch of new stuff because it basically got remade from the foundational job mechanic, Dark Arts being removed, up. Much of what was there was removed because it was found to be inadequate and then replaced with something else, not that DRK was given a bunch on top of what they already had.

PLD appears to have got about the same amount of "new and shiny" as WAR, they just happened to show more, for example the big sword thrusting out of the ground move.

WAR only appeared to have gotten "less" because they only mentioned and didn't show the big new ability that the job would be getting, WAR's "Feller Cleave". It also seemed to be implied that WAR was the tank job that was already in the best shape and closest to where the dev team wanted tanks in general to go and therefore required the least amount of reworking.

Simply the sheer amount of rework DRK needed made it look all new and shiny, while WAR appeared "samey" because it only really needed to evolve.

I'm satisfied with new AoE combo. WAR already pretty good right now, I don't see the need of drastically change it.

If there's something that didn't shown in trailer yet, anything is welcomed.

balance and potency aside, I'll just talk about visuals since job skills trailers are just a presentation of visuals trying to make you hyped for the new stuff coming.
some classes were kinda "meh" compared to others, what i mean is they either didn't receive new flashy things or they were not shown. warrior was one of them and since its my "main" job i was really disappointed. paladin did receive huge changes with sb, and those were kinda flashy,lvl 70 skill in particular. drk sb preview wasn't all that flashy,but the gauge skills still were new and looked cool. warrior sb.. well we had inner release looking awesome,multiple fell cleaves. overall all 3 received new flashy skills. so it was "balanced" from a visual standpoint.
now? paladin shb, 2 or 3 flashy new skills, looking really good. drk... do we need to say anything? it looks amazing, 2-3 new skills, new job gauge or an additional element to the already existing one. his own shadow is ofc the highlight. warrior... skill similar to tbn or just our new "shake it off version 3", 1 skill where he whirls the axe above his head.. that's it? everything else is already existing skills, and the axe whirl wasn't flashy... so yeah warrior either didn't receive any flashy toys or didn't level to 80 in the presentation.
gunblade.. well its new, some skills looked cool, but overall not much to say, but i have similar feeling like warrior, lack of "wow what an amazing skill" in their presentation. still 1 or 2 looked flashy.

yup disappointed about warrior and gunblade to a degree, hyped to test drk and a bit of pld.

about having 4 well balanced tanks, being glad about other tanks,being top tanks,having had lot in the past/until now: this has nothing to do with the thread which in my understanding discusses visuals seen from a trailer. we cannot judge balance or gameplay base of this trailer.. we don't have any tool tips, any info's on available actions nor did we had our hands on the jobs, so we can only talk about visuals at this point after seeing the trailer.

I mean, if that's how you feel.

How are you war mains feeling right now after seeing the show case?

Seems like a pretty open question.
