Not impressed with the skill changes

[MOZZYSTAR]

So, it read pretty bad in theory, but it turns out it really is not great. XD

Dark Knight is boring as Hell at level 64; it's been way oversimplified and I think it's kind of bad that their showcased class is not so hot right now.

AST not only lost the strategic diversity of its cards (spread no longer a thing because the cards no longer have timers, royal road no long er a thing, and all of the cards being for DPS boosting), but we lost some of our other strategical skills like our aoe stun and our time dilation. On top of that, the cards became inefficient by not having the draw card also be the play card - we now have a separate skill for that.

Bard lost support skills. I expected to see the TP refresh gone, but MP is still in play so why did we lose our MP song? Along with foe requiem (the only way we use our MP), some of our song effects, palisade, et cetera. These are all used and useful skills and could still be used. I was trying DNC (along with everyone else) in alliance, and there were times where I was like "oh! I wish I was playing as BRD to MP refresh for the healer that just revived," for example.

I just don't really get what the devs were thinking. I don't get why they removed TP because managing that in itself as a tank or DPS was fun; now it's just a DPSing shit fest with no reservation. I expected there to be changes with skills because there is every time, but this was definitely the worst one yet.

Its still like day 2.
There is still a chance that stuff gets changed.

Not likely. They may adjust potency and stuff. They won't overhaul anything for 2 years.

Minor adjustments maybe, not entire gameplay designs.

It's not completely out of the question for them to bring pruned abilities back. I mean look at SCH in Stormblood. They took away Miasma 2 and Sustain (for SMN as well), the community made their complaints known, and both skills quickly got patched back in. Now that's not the case with all jobs but I'm sure they'll do their best to make adjustments as necessary.

Could have a mini-rework like warrior got in SB for astrologian/scholar

[MeeDeggiThePunisher]

Good luck if you want some changes, I'm still waiting for Wide Volley to come back.

[Millybonk]

Don't hold your breath: there might be minor adjustments here and there, maybe something removed coming back, but there won't be sweeping changes.
Just look at WoW: the Azerite system if a massive failure, and all they're doing is try to make it look less bad without reworking it from the ground up.

I'm a Scholar and I feel they took away most of the power, we lost Miasma again along with many other skills, there's no Bane or Shadow Flare, I hate the condition imposed to the use of Aetherflow, I really feel the dev team just crippled us once again.


I hope they fix it soon because right now it's not fun being Scholar, it became so simple!...
