Support NeoGAF

[iammeiam]

So based on this BLM demonstration....


you can no longer see your firestarter procs and your AF/UI timers in the same place?

looool

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

I'd rather they were more space efficient instead of being spiky and ornate.

Every element needs a shit ton of clearance around it.

I will take beautiful Baroque ornamentation over drab utilitarianism, thank you!

 

[Qvoth]

ok so blm's rotation is about getting 1 stack then casting foul

 

[VanillaCakeIsBurning]

Did the WHM just pull him?

Healer Cross Role Action = Rescue.

 

[SliceSabre]

Wait...did he just get pulled?

 

[NeoCross]

I am glad a Lalafell is the example.

BEST RACE

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Healer job action rescue

Now WHM can fuck raids, by pulling Tanks to the party.

 

[Qvoth]

holy shit healers can pull a party member

 

[Yam's]

Those gauges are pretty, but I'd rather they went the WoW road and used less intrusive clues to help dps. I fear that with the way they've designed them, it may be hard to not look at them. The whole point was for people to stop looking at icons and actually look at the boss, so I'm curious to see if it won't attract our eyes too much. I guess we'll see how it feels soon enough.

 

[BlackJace]

pull the dragoons

 

[Hasemo]

Pulling paty members looks super fun.

 

[SliceSabre]

Healer action Rescue lets the Healer pull a party member.

Oh man this gon be fun.

"omg why didn't you pull me then healer!?!?!"

How To Rescue Your Dragoon

 

[KuroNeeko]

The interpreter is getting tired. She is starting to omit (or misinterpret) some important stuff.

 

[Soroc]

rescue effectively like leap of faith from priest in wow?

Looks like I no longer need to yell at bads to get out of fire and now its my job to actually move them too >,>



edit: I loved the leap of faith ability in wow. this should be fun here too, like the little twist that it can only be used on a player with some enmity so you can't troll ppl trying to teleport lol

 

[Omnicent]

holy shit healers can pull a party member

So, healers can troll the fuck out of people like ninja?
Sign me up!

 

[Kintaro]

Those canes are pretty awesome.

Battle music seems much better.

 

[studyguy]

literally a DRG saving skill

 

[Haly]

I will take beautiful Baroque ornamentation over drab utilitarianism, thank you!

mmmmm utilitarianism

EDIT: I like the new battle song.

 

[Qvoth]

THUNDER 4 CONFIRMED

 

[Tomat]

For maximum BLM DPS, just make your healer move you around!

 

[Stone Ocean]

Stone 4 looks dope

 

[suzu]

Time to pull people into AOEs.

 

[Wilsongt]

Healer job action rescue

Now WHM can fuck raids, by pulling Tanks to the party.

So now DRG's won't die?

 

[Haly]

LMFAO

 

[Omnicent]

fuccckksvdvsad. WAR for life

 

[Kintaro]

FELL CLEAVESSSSS

WARRIORS. COME OUT AND PLAYYYY

 

[VanillaCakeIsBurning]

Unlimited Fell Cleave Works.

They mentioned they're also working on simplified mini mode gauges for people who don't want something so big.

 

[iammeiam]

so warriors are now pure evil

this bodes ill for pld

 

[Qvoth]

5 times fell cleave LOL

 

[Stone Ocean]

FELL CLEAVES FOR DAYS

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

um...not sure I like those changes on WAR, need to try it myself

 

[studyguy]

That was 5 fell cleaves
RIP PLD

 

[SliceSabre]

Never. Stop. Cleaving.

 

[iammeiam]

I'm watching somebody math out that the half-cost buff + infuriate can set up for 7 fell cleaves

B A L A N C E

 

[Caim]

Eyes glow red when Inner Beast is full lol.

 

[Soroc]

They mentioned they're also working on simplified mini mode gauges for people who don't want something so big.

I missed this, ty! Biggest news of the day b/c I'm loving the mechanics but in the minority with the graphic gauges, I don't like them.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Obviously attack potency on cleave is reduced duh....lol

 

[Haly]

I'd like for the option to rotate these additional elements as well.

 

[Caim]

Monk animations redone.

Riddle of the Earth refreshes Greased Lightning duration.

 

[iammeiam]

Obviously attack potency on cleave is reduced duh....lol

Yes. Because if there's one thing this dev team has a history of, it's keeping Warrior well-balanced.

lololol

(seriously if you can pull off 7 they can halve the potency and WAR still comes out ahead. hohoho.)

 

[Yam's]

They mentioned they're also working on simplified mini mode gauges for people who don't want something so big.

Ok nice.

They surely didn't take as much time for War as they did for BLM... I need to know more. Those Fell Cleave spam looked awesome though. Do we know if they're gonna release a full skill list before SB comes out?

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

mmmmm utilitarianism

This is why I'll never play World of Warcraft.

 

[Omnicent]

rdm looks interesting

 

[Qvoth]

man rdm is COOL AS FUCK
i'm a blm for life, but i will definitely learn this class

 

[Caim]

Black mana and White mana gauges.

Uses aero spells to increase "White mana"
Uses fire spells to increase "Black mana"

Focus on balancing the two aspects to maintain high dps, focusing on one leads to bad dps.

Critical hits provide bonus to the same aligned magicks.

 

[Stone Ocean]

RDM sounds amazing

 

[studyguy]

RDM mechanic seems cool
