We need a Greatsword Dps Class!!!

[cjbeagle]

Anyone else play a Slayer in TERA? (Greatsword melee dps in case it wasn't obvious)

It is/was a fantastic class - fluid movement and brutal cleaves - a combination grace and brute strength - the animations really captured a sense of momentum that lent the sword a sense of heft. I'd love something like that in FFXIV.

For those who never played it, the gameplay hook was that the vast majority of their attacks included (forced) movement, so positioning (including distance - as a melee) and timing were pretty much always relevant.

Might not translate well since FFXIV isn't action combat, but if they nailed the animations, might still feel good.
