SMN says "not likely"

Inb4 "voidsent glamour when"

Class looks bad ass, won't be my main, but I will level it to 80.

You mean 90?

[Jettinson]

Visual wise looks so great, still early to actual main but honestly as I levelled every class to 80, will be fun to spend some time with it. Did NOT expect the Void buddy/assist into it, it was a nice surprise

[Luluna]

I am not usually into melee I will give this a go.

Reminded me of FFXI dark knight so looks good to me ^^

I initially didn't notice that you actually change outfits during the presumed "burst" phase of job where you channel the voidsent's power, but I can see that being a bit of turn-off to some glam happy people.

PSo2 dodged around a similar issue by allowing you to disable the physical transformation of its Dark Blast mode and instead just get a power aura in the shape of the respective Dark Falz, so hopefully they'll do the same here for the sake of memes like glowy-eyed death chickens/frogs/chocobos/etc.

Yep, and this is exactly why I wasn't excited about scythe being the weapon everyone has been clamouring for. They could have maybe done something interesting with scythe or even gone into a more martials arts direction like with Ranjit but nope. They just leaned super hard into chuuni grimdark edgelord to the point where they even included a demonic/ghost companion. I know some (a lot?) of people are super hyped by that but I just groaned. It looks like it could be fun to play but esthetic wise it's just.. kind of boring and super expected.

I'm also honestly in the camp that finds the job kinda...whatever and it's likely just going to be another thing for my inner completionist to bring to 90 then never touch again unless the gameplay is really entertaining.

On the other hand, I'm really hyped for Sage and can't wait to play that, especially if it's meant to be the more offensively inclined shield healer.

Remember when people said the WoL couldn't possibly be associated with voidsent/void creatures?

Not only we got a sycthe-wielding edgelord job but now it comes with your very own under-the-bed-I'm-also-in-your-closet spookies!

No but for real, this is the first job I've ever seen in a ff14 trailer that makes me wanna main it day 1. Even samurai didn't make me this excited.

I'm having a flashback to the Master of Shrouds prestige class from the D&D 3.5 splatbook Libris Mortis. Having a host of incorporeal followers that could drain ability scores by touch was hilariously broken if your DM wasn't prepared for it.

Wondering if the reaper's shade will work more like a carbuncle, or more a temporary summon like Living Shadow or Automaton Queen.

Glad I'm not the only one that has Libris Mortis. Master of Shrouds was fun for me with Corpsecraft. Very powerful shades.

I hope we can glamour the avatar.

I would love to have diabolos as my voidsent avatar.
