You know the answer, don't you.

All I can say is that I hope they keep this up. Would be odd not to since every phase there has been changes and balances, so wouldn't want them to put in another stack of changes and have them be final with no testing.

Like any "new" MMO, first month consists of patching. Server down. Patching. Patching. Server down. Server down. Zone down. Patching. Patchpatch...yeaaah you get the idea.
Finally able to post some pix.
This is how Okami will look. I'm still tweaking her eyes though.
Although I'm being a Miqo'te, I really, really love the look I made for this highlander. She will probably be my second main.
Finally, my benchmark score:
I thought it ran quite well for a 4 year old laptop. I'm not sure if my score will be better if I had it on full screen.

Yeah, it was 180.
Spineshatter have been reduced to half (90 secs) , although I don't see still the point of that jump. I think LIfe Surge have been downgraded, it was 20% HP recovery, right?
ARC (SCH and SMN) looks fun. People wanting WHM to be a less direct healer can finally shut up.
Also pets have their own set of skills/actions. Nice, all Legacy servers will have millions of ARC on Phase 4.
For someone who hates being forced to make a character with first/last name, I found a nice name generator.

Sea Wolf names are hilarious.
I was originally set on Roe, and spent most of the beta as one.
Then as a throwaway, I made a female highlander the last beta and ended up liking it a lot.
Now I'm conflicted. I still like Roe's, but they look odd in some gear.
Hell, I wish more then one Highlander face had that facial hair. Highlanders are very disappointing.

Don't give up on the fem roe, I think they can work out fine, but maybe thats just me... anyone else on the Fem Roe hype train *tumble weed rolls around*
Being a Dragoon only means you equip a job stone and learn Dragoon skills. What you're leveling up is still, in essence, a lancer.

Still lvl up lancer, while DRG you are still are a lancer, DRG is something you put over your class (a spec)
Edit: Beaten...anyway, if I wasn't so adamant to be a male on MMO I would have already switched to females. Females in this game look awesome...

Spineshatter advances to the mob. It is one of the best things melee dps can have. It can also be used as an interrupt with the stun. Free from the gcd so will be using it every time it's off cooldown just for the extra damage as well. Basically it is the best skill a Dragoon gets imo.
And yeah, sad about life surge since it was probably my favorite skill.
game looks surprisingly good on my shitty computer
still planning to play on ps3
but just may jump on pc version once in a while since the client is free anyway
as for my toon
Hyur Higlander M still my favorite
but it doesn't look all that great in mage garbs (my primary classes)
leaning more towards Lalafell M or Manqote

IMO it should be something more...special or different from just another jump, and it most important fight you don't want to start with a mindlessly stun attack on the boss.
So Life Surge is downgraded, at least evade skill is up to 80% evasion.
Amazing optimization since the last benchmark. Scaling on SLI is incredibly good too. My score on the last one was 7400 or so with one GPU disabled.
Having trouble deciding what race to go with. I always go human in MMOs but even with all the options I can't find a look I like... On the other hand I checked out the Elvaan options and I really like how imposing and intimidating some of them can look. Maybe this will be the first mmo were I actually try out some other races!

Gld is your sword and board tank for this game. They can solo fine, too. Kind of depends on what you want from a wow warrior, really. If you want shield slamming and tanking, PLD, if you want a big 2h axe and sharp armor, WAR, If you want 2h dps, then you're looking at a lancer. Noone's got the whole charge and shout thing going on, far as i recall, though.

So, i was poking aronud XIVDB and the darksteel armor we get for "level 50 gear" has lower level equivilants. Heavy "X" Armor that eats up your head slot. Here's hoping they don't all look the same. These armors have a lot of stats and sockets though, so maybe we'll be stuck with them.
xivdb.com has data mined skills for all classes, there are actually quite a few changes. Some of the bigger changes (for the classes I play
PUG/MNK
- Mantra is now 20% (up from 10%) and affect nearby players
- Howling fist is 170 (was 190) potency, but its recast is 60seconds (down from 300)
- Perfect Balance recast is now 160seconds (down from 240)
- Dragon kick also now reduces a target's INT by 10%
- Fists of Fire is a 5% increase in damage (down from 10%)
MRD/WAR
- Lots of Warrior skills have had their potency reduced/increased.
- Heavy Swing>Maim combo potency is 190 (down from 200), bonus is now 20% increase damage (up from 10%)
- Vengeance recast is now 120 seconds (down from 150)
- Defiance is a 30% damage penalty (down from 35%), each stack of Wrath now grants 3% increase healing taken and 2% crit for a total of 15% incr. heal and 10% crit.
- Infuriate recast is now 60seconds (down from 180)
- Inner beast 300 potency - Additional Effect Absorb 300% of the Damage
- Storms Path 250 potency, heal Up to 50% of dmg Dealt and generate wrath.
All around it looks like they've cut down a lot of the really long CDs to the 1.5-2min range.
Fixed !

Parry isn't direct evasion, you will still take damage from parried hits, just less. So they just made it actually usable now. Keen Flurry I mean. For life surge, yeah it sucks, but we are getting Second Wind as another self heal now as well.
As for spinshatter, not every fight is a boss, and not every boss will require you to just stand behind it attacking the entire time. I can not understate how great an instant movement to target skill is for melee dps. The extra freedom of movement alone gives a ton in fun factor. The utility of being able to go directly to an add with no travel time is just icing for me.
Jump, Spinshatter, and Elusive Jump all are great skills that fit with Dragoon, and each offer something unique and needed. The only bad thing about them is cooldown. If it were up to me, the Dragoon class would be jumping all the god damn time. Basically a melee dps class that can't be kept at range. The worst of their skills is power surge, since its a cooldown that just buffs another cooldown. That is the skill that could use something more/special.
Isn't this incredibly overpowered compared to the white mage?

Yeah, forgot is just Parry, it sucks...
I get your point. All I know is I can't wait for Phase 4.

Not necessarly. WHM spells have way more cure potency.
Edit: OH GOD! +1 versions of AF armor? Already? that was a surprise.

This will just mean that instead of having 2 WHMs in a party for a hard boss fight, you'll have a WHM and a SCH for an overpowered healing combo.
I wouldn't say that. WHMs single target healing is much better and they have regen. Though Succor II is sort of a better Medica II. At first glance it seemed really good in comparison, but I'm starting to see the difference. Kind of sucky that leeches is just Esuna. Do we know how their familiar is supposed to play into this? ARC skills work for their fairy perhaps?Isn't this incredibly overpowered compared to the white mage?

So... just as I was about to go on about how overpowered Sacred Soil is (30 second cool down with a 15 second duration!?) when I realized I missed the bottom portion that says "Only available when under the effect of Aetherflow."
I'm guessing Aetherflow is gonna have a 2minute cooldown or something on it. It has to... it's the only way an ability like that even remotely fits into the realm of being... fair.

We don't know yet, given how ACN seems to work, it seems both pets and summons have their own arrange of skills.

Okay.
I just preordered the normal edition of the game from Gamestop, but I didn't get an early access code or code for the mog hat and the minion pet.
Anyone else preorder from GS (in person) and have this problem?

Whoops! Gotta get in the habit now before I confuse people later.
Does someone else have a 6970 (or 2x 6970CF) that can compare results? Mine just seem so low. As if CFX isn't kicking in or something, but it is enabled in AMD's CCC.

White Mage heals have combos that make them basically free with a potential mega heal stored up for when shit goes bad.Isn't this incredibly overpowered compared to the white mage?
They both have their purposes.

Is that on stock or u had it OCd?
This engine and benchmark is highly optimized, scored much better with SLI enabled. I cannot wait for August 27th
Winner!
Uh, ok, that and the higher cure potency others told me about might be it, I think I'm starting to see it. The skills just looked way extreme when I saw them, but I'll wait to see how it exactly works in practice.

White mage chains cure 1-2-3 together when the opertunity calls for it
Has an aoe heal, has a heal over time
SCH focuses on damage mitigation while healing, pet provides support healing
