Trailer - FINAL FANTASY XIV: ENDWALKER - Job Actions

[ChazNatlo]

It does look like I might make an alt to see how the Summoner levelling is like. Or running up through Deep dungeon or progressing through leveling dungeons.

[Kahnom]

Samurai looked kinda boring in comparison, unfortunately. Nothing super flashy like the others.

But but ..you got additional 10 kenki if your third eye struck….
Also Yukikaze AoE.

That feedback about summoner makes me happy. Players been asking for summoner to just cast and summon through spells instead of being a pet class and they at last did it. Way to go. and removing dots also? Dream come true for summoners.

[Endariel]

PSST pretty sure the removal of dots off most jobs is the fact the new new new dps coming next, next expansion will probably be the DOT class to fill in SMN shoes.

GrEeN mAgE / tImE MaGe ? Maybe lol

No, it won't. Hyper casuals have a hard time keeping 1 dot permanently. Imagine more. And Yoshi Nyan said "we were afraid to make reaper hard"

SMN looks cool, but not sure If that transfers into gameplay.

[Ailuron]

as a years long scholar main, it‘s time….

ahaha same, the new scholar combat "gAp ClOsEr" is not doing it for me either x'D

Really? I'm new to the game, i didn't know players wanted to remove pets and DOTs from summoners. But.. that's literally all that's making summoners interesting and different.
Any reason to not just play BLM or RDM?

I'm not a hyper casual myself, but dots make me feel anxious. I'm too afraid to run out of time so I tend to refresh them more than needed

Keep in mind, folks, that things are subject to relative change and we don't yet know the numbers.

SCH was underwhelming, yes, but probably kept a lot of stuff that makes it more unique than SGE. The speed buff alone, if you watched other parts of the LL, applies to the party like an in-combat Pelaton - and moving faster is good for getting out of shit even if you're not expecting it. Plus, the fairy seemed to react quicker, so there's also that.

I'm curious about the BLM changes - it seems like the IcyHot spell is triggered by swapping (and you likely want to cast it in both stances, too) and that Freeze doesn't refresh the timer anymore... And I'm not quite sure what triggers Fire 5 or whatever being available. I wish they showed us more of the mechanical side of why it's different now, but SMN had it's rework so it needed the focus.

Ah well, time to hyperanalyze the trailer while we wait for the mid-October embargo end. Edit: But overall? I'm pretty happy for everything I saw, regardless of how flashy it was or wasn't - it just looks good.

Have you played RDM or BLM?

None of the casters play anything alike. SMN now looks to be smaller burst phases in between the "bigger" Demi ones - and it looks like they can be freely used as needed depending on what's going on in the fight, even if you technically need ALL of them by the end.

From my experience as a BLM, because it requires similar forethought: It does seem like optimization will be better once you know the content and plan your summon order accordingly, and to some that's pretty daunting. But UNLIKE BLM, it also doesn't seem to be nearly as punishing for messing up, so it's still approachable.
