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

Also, I had a sinking feeling. It looks like Eos is hovering around SCH as if she were a buff effect rather than a pet. Maybe I'm just reading way too deep into things and I'm crying wolf, but I wonder if they might've finally axed her as a pet.

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

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.

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.

[Rehayem]

No Broil IV upgrade? I'm shocked

[Sebazy]

Only watched the once, but the WHM GCD absolutely screamed Medica III or Rapture II to me.

[ForsakenRoe]

WHM screamed 'Lily spender that applies a Regen effect' to me, SE truly playing the 'try to make a Shielding Lily Spender so we aren't forced to overheal to prep Misery' challenge, difficulty: impossible

SGE at least looks like it has an attack of some kind, but as others say, if it's Toxikon 3 then it's dead on arrival

SCH looks like an upgrade of Chain to me, or perhaps a move that 'is combo'd off of Chain' in the same way that Tilliana comes after Tech Step, or Starfall Dance after Devilment

AST I think is entirely impossible to say because of the rework, no idea what's going on with that job

Overall, not much to go off of/not much to get excited about, but it is only one animation we're looking at. We only saw Holy Sheltron for PLD in the EW benchmark, and then it turned out it had the Blade combo, so who knows what they're 'hiding' as a big reveal for the job action trailer (I will not be getting my hopes up though)

[Supersnow845]

^we are hiding 3 new big heals

[ForsakenRoe]

Yeh, it could be that WHM is getting Quake, Flood and Tornado, or its equally possible that it will be getting Afflatus Serendipity, Afflatus Salvation and a second charge of Benediction, without media tour info the benchmark 'reveals' don't do much for me, because I don't care for the VFX of the skill, I care about it's CD, effect, MP cost, etc. It's possible that SGE gets a new attack skill as shown, sure, but if it's a 2min CD it doesn't really 'fix' anything, does it?
