Add voices to jobs

[Aron73]

I would immediately become a Caster main and never look back!

And anyone who dislikes this can go into the settings and lower / turn off voice volume. Not that I imagine it would be a big deal. People already can't hear each other "Ha!" and "Hey-a!" in battle very well and I cannot believe some muttering would fare much better.





Not every melee attack comes with a voiced grunt or shout, so not every spell with a cast bar would have to either. This doesn't have to be an incessant chant.
And, as above, I don't see how this could get more annoying than the melee characters shouts (which I'm sure we all tune out just fine... when we can hear them).

Oh, hell yea! Sign me up too!

Add them just for LBs.

as much as i think it would be cool go have the characters mutter an incantation while casting, or saying something when the cast finishes like in octopath for instance, i think itd get annoying after a while since youd be hearing it almost the entire fight

I'm out of energy!
I need energy!
Not enough energy!
I need to target something first
I can't attack that target!
I'm out of range
Need more energy
Not enough energy!

over, and over, and over, and over....

That said, I do like how GW II does it though, where their standard attacks are just groans and shouts, but the cooldowns are voiced - it's a nice balance of having a voice, but tied to a button that's not used as often, and also works as a "hey everybody, I'm activating a raid cd!"

Im ok with this for the more important, longer and critical cooldowns. Like Hallowed Ground for example: "I will hold the line!" or something like that, idk, i see it viable.

I love GW2's battle quips, and how they even varied depending on your race. Some of my favourites...

Sylvari when gaining Retaliation buff: "This rose has thorns, and here they are!"

Asura when entering combat: "You're dumb. You'll die, and you'll leave a dumb corpse."

Human when gaining Fury buff: "Urge to kill... rising..."

Of course, it helped that you only heard these lines once in a while, not every single time the conditions were met.

It is a bit odd that combat voices are wholly unused for non-RDM casters.

I think attaching to them to certain spells that aren't used super frequently like Afflatus Misery and Xenoglossy or certain instant casts like Art of War would be logical.

i feel like this is a good middle ground, and would probably give them a bit more oomph. even giving it to limit breaks would do the trick too

Ok if you want more voices you should get them. But I vote for a button to toogle off the combat voices then. Everytime I stand near a BRD and their voice is kinda high it just annoys me. Some voices are just creepy. Thinking of a raid full of uuuhhh AH! YA!!! Brrr!! Nah, that's not for me.
