Let's talk about Zephyr

I like the aesthetic, but I’ll have to see how it feels to play. Always a caster main, but I level everything anyway. I’m glad the bird isn’t pink, but makes me wonder if you can change the color or not. lol The gear looks good too.

I'll reserve judgement until I see actual gameplay and job mechanics.

But if anything I find it amusing that this job seems to get the machinegun rapid fire feel way better than poor old clumsy machinist. Damn if those crossbows are efficient why do they even bother with guns in this world I wonder

Not gonna lie the first thing i even thought of was “oh boy they’re bringing back the pseudo casters of heavensward” and watching the trailer again, i’m still not convinced that it won’t be that.

Be interesting to see more about it, at the very least.

I got that feeling too, it could just be the class having more weighty animations overall though. I would be down for a cast time Rphys again though.


Overall positive impression for the teaser, A bit better for me than Bastion. That gear is going to stretch something fierce on Hroth/Roe I bet.

I've wanted more channels in pve content like honing dance, so the air ride is a solid A+ for me. Should have good uses for things like gaze mechanics too as you can see in the footage it keeps firing at a target that isn't being faced. Will be interesting to see if it divides its shots or focus fires targets. Would be funny to have a skill that scales its animation based on how many targets it hits.

Minor hopes that they will let us slow walk (like pvp bard/mch casts) while channeling flamethrower if it sticks around the MCH kit because that skill has been sticking out more and more over time when things like honing dance exist.

I had a rictus when Yoshida said "it's been a while since we introduced a real pet job. Man, you killed you only pet job with EW, I doubt you will reintroduce one now.

[ThreeBeastSmile]

Unexcited.

Already a bummer that it's a crossbow user, but on top of that it didn't look like anything great. A lot of particles and not very attractive character movement underneath it, though I have an affinity for avians. Even so. Pass (unless it does something interesting in PvP). Supposing there's just a lot of bow fans. /chuckle Definitely still will be trying Bastion, but that's obligatory because it's a tank.

Also needs more citation on whether this is a "proper pet job". That may yet win me over if it's real... ... ... ...but bow... /facepalm also /doubt

Let us glamour the birb to different colours and forms plz and ty. The rotation looks like it could be fun. And I love crossbows as a weapon. So I'll give it a go for sure.

It didn't look like anything had a cast bar except the last laser attack, so I don't understand where this sentiment comes from?

From the Q&A, one of the questions was whether the bird can be dyed, of which the response was, yes, by talking to an NPC. What that entails specifically, not sure. It could be that it uses a dye, or, it might bet that it uses a full colour wheel to get the desired colour you want. Either way, It can be coloured.

I like it. Maybe the bird is tied to the weapon and changes with every weapon. Imagine a shiny ultimate weaponized bird!

[Wyssahtyn]

hugh jackman van helsing would have been a better aesthetic
