The problem with Tripling Down on Shadowbringers Job Design

[Supersnow845]

Only at level cap. Have a feeling they will repeat same mistakes and low level content will be terrible to play. Lvl 50 Reaper and Lvl 70+ Reaper play so differently from each other. Level 30ish content will be even worse.

Pictomancer which I plan to make my main class looks like the big winner in classes to play in Dawntrail with a rewarding builder spender component in it's casting rotation and very interesting ways to approach encounters with it's sketch rotation.

The ideas on what to do with Rainbow Road casts or Element Swap is a fun thing to think about or how to weave casting in with Sketch attacks will be fun to think about.

Viper on the other hand will feel like high APM but is just going to combo cycle for maintaining self buffs and becoming Reaper 2.0 during Awaken which is a 1 to 1 copy of Enshroud. The worry here is the same with low level Reaper in that it doesn't really come together until level cap.

And sadly from experience they design everything around level cap instead of level progression.

The skill level from each of the important skills is as follows

Level 10; self shield
Level 20; dash
Level 25; full AOE 1-2-3
Level 30; creature motif with Pom wings and moogle beam
Level 50; full weapon motif
Level 60; inverted artherhue combo
Level 70; landscape canvas
Level 80; white holy
Level 90; black comet
Level 92; rainbow road
Level 100; star prism

I couldn’t see the unknown skill, the AOE utility, the 1-2-3 or the second half of creature motif
