Yoshi-P: "If you want more engaging content, go play Ultimate"

Oh please no. I might quit if they remove the only pet job in the game.

I think it might be a false alarm. I'm rewatching it a bunch, and it does look like Eos does fly behind Scholar to follow, it just for some reason looked like she was too close to Scholar's shoulder, like she was fixed to it or something.

That spell looked AOE chain more than anything else to me, I saw a broil cast go off and it wasn’t the same as that gear looking spell

The SCH casts broil at 4.13 it doesn’t look any different to broil 4 then at 4.35 there is the chain/gear ability that has a sound effect halfway between chain and biolysis

Honestly, it's probably just a DoT upgrade. We're due for one by this time since EW upgraded filler and AoE, so this time will be upgrade to DoTs.

I'm praying that new SGE AoE attack isn't a Toxikon upgrade, at bare minimum please at least be a Eukrasian AoE DoT or something.

Oh snap... I didn't even think of that. Well that just made me a lot less happy... I really hope that's not the case regarding Toxikon. The animation has way too much impact to be a DOT though, that much I'm confident about.

EDIT: Watching it back again, I think the animation is too different to Toxikon III. Especially how forceful the Sage is with them slamming down their hand. Maybe it's just copium though.

God if that chain looking attack and the new SGE skill are just an indication all healers are getting a DOT upgrade that makes their DOT’s AOE I actually probably will quit healing

That is probably the most insulting change I can imagine

AOE CHAIN STRATAGEM

PLEASE
ENJOY

Alrighty it looks like we got a more concrete date for the job trailer on May 16th. This may also be when the embargo for the media tour is lifted and we start getting all the details on the jobs as well.

Just gave the benchmark trailer a look. Outside not feeling happy with the character model (looking at you sausage finger and plastic kendoll texture lmao), I've only tried to squint hard to see healer's VFX and animation exclusively. Here's what I think of them so far:

1. First that comes into the screen was SGE. They're getting something that looks like Toxikon III? Lmao. That's definitely a GCD action. The reason Toxikon came to mind was because it's the only SGE action in the game where they let their nouliths fly over to close proximity at their enemies outside Mesotes when placed on an enemy.
2. Next is AST. The aesthetic makes me think it's going to be something that works like Horoscope? But that's also a GCD so I guess we'll just have to wait for the actual job action trailer.
3. Oh what's that? WHM gets a new GCD spell with flowery motif? Maybe that's Medica III with absolutely no relation to Lily gauge LMAO (please prove me wrong SE). This is giving me the Holy III EW trailer feel.
4. Last on the line was SCH. That is definitely an oGCD action. Perhaps an AoE Chain? Quite likely. The ending SFX though felt too impactful for a mere debuff that makes me think it might actually do damage or something along that line. One can hope, yeah? Absolutely not.

Ngl I did instantly thought "Medica III" because of the...glittery sounds, for lack of a better word. I hope it's a buff, but it just feels like a heal.

No Broil IV upgrade? I'm shocked
