I wouldn't mind a light nerf on WAR as long as it as fun to play as now.
I'm pretty sure the more honest answer is Scholar, since they at least provide something when afking
Just die to mechanics over and over. Free carry.
Burn it to the ground.
Make PLD + DRK the power combo. For too long other tanks have lived in the shadow of WAR. Rise up. Tear down the gilded towers of the warrior bourgeoisie with their on demand TP and HP regens and monopoly on slash debuffs.
I hope everyone plays RDM over SAM and that SAM is secretly cool. Thid way my inner-hipster can be appeased while trying SAM.
I hope double weaving stays in even though I wouldn't mind it going away. I don't feel like losing that bet.

Lol don't kid yourself. Sam is gonna be the ultimate weeb class and is definitely gonna be the most popular

SAM will be the most popular job in the game by far unless its kinda annoying to play like MCH
You can get a 230 weapon kind of quickly in PotD, by getting aethergear up to 30, probably worth it. Then, if you get to lv 200, do alexander for item 230 gear tokens and lore that you can use for other 230 gear, like accessories.
I don't even understand how, conceptually, removing double-weaving would work. Place all oGCDs on cool down until you execute a GCD? So force an AST to GCD between Draw and Shuffle or Draw and applying card or Draw and RR?
And 'just make them clip' wouldn't work, because the clearest cut case (maybe only?) of forcing double oGCD is Barrage into Empyreal Arrow, and they stuck a cast on EA meaning unless you get lucky with a Straighter Shot proc or cross-classed Feint, that stuff is clipping. Triple oGCDs and intentional clips are already a thing, so bumping animation lock to force clipping wouldn't completely eliminate it either.

You could remove double weaving by removing animation locks completely or cutting oGCDs in half, I guess
I'm not as well-versed in the game as the rest of you, but I like the way SCH is at the moment. It's fun to play, and nothing (aside from Adloquium maybe) feels overpowered.
Maybe change up some Pet skills. Never seen a use for Selene's Silence spell, and Eos' party wide Esuna is pretty rare as well.

I'm sure the 5 people who play MCH would be devastated

They should remove the recovery (or reduce it heavily) on using oGCDs because it mostly exists to punish people with a certain amount of latency.
during ARR people preferred selene afaik, but nowadays raids use eos
or so i've heard

Is only fair after all that suffering from 2.x
We deserve much more, but I'll take peace and equalitu from now on.
...why is he doing an unofficial translation if the live letter is in english
Because it's mr. happy.
he's making a summary with every liveletter only now he doesn't need Marko to translate it .

Wonder how SAM and RDM will squeeze into the raid scene.
I am 100% for the removal of the animation locks--potion is particularly offensive--but on some level I assume part of it is just the game's shitty codebase (similar to 1.5s being the minimum GCD, no question.) I feel like if you're clipping doubles you're probably also going to clip singles during Rapid Fire on MCH, so addressing the base issue is way better than just pruning the shit out of oGCDs on jobs that have relatively few regular usage GCDs.
Reducing oGCD count won't do it unless they reduce them in a staggered way such that nothing would line up because a lot of the cramped usage isn't just because too many oGCDs, it's to line shit up. Bard may finally lose the B4B+HE double if B4B goes away, at least, but a lot of doubling ends up being for buff synching so i dunno.
I FORGOT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING:
Die in a fire, Disembowel. Either remove the dependency for BRD/MCH, or give us our own DE equivalents.
to much hype!

That audio crackle.
I think there's also the case that they might not know it's even an issue since I imagine everyone in Japan probably plays with 50ms or something like that.

MP sharing is interesting.
I wonder what replaces Swift in the THM skills...
There is no reason to assume they're not going to get something else that fills the same role at this point.

did they say that? I'm waiting to see the healer role actions screen to see if switfcast is avail for both casters and healers
