Bard casting removed.

 

[Tomat]

Tank is the one role I haven't taken up to 30 or ever done a dungeon with ._.

Bard casting gone. Wow, they actually did it.

 

[ubercheez]

NO MORE BARD CASTING!

 

[aceface]

CASTING ABOLISHED ON BARD ANGARY WE DID IT

 

[Guess Who]

casting on bard being abolished is literally the only thing i wanted out of 4.0

 

[Squishy3]

dragoon double 4th combo though, let's fucking go

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Kagari must be happy lol

 

[Stone Ocean]

MCH NO LONGER HAS CASTS AS WELL

LONG LIVE RANGED PHYSICAL DPS

 

[Frumix]

I'm gonna miss semicaster rdps.

A bit.

CASTING ABOLISHED ON BARD ANGARY WE DID IT

This is the second expansion in a row where they're fucking with my main job.

JUST LEAVE ME ALONE YOSHIDA FFS

(GB worked; it was a good system that balanced mobility with knowing when not to move. Let us keep our cast times and actually feel measurably different from bard! but lolnah.)

 

[Matt Attack]

No casts on MCH makes me very sad. I'll try it, but it really hurts my motivation to main it again.

 

[Stone Ocean]

WHM has Barrier now, yesss

 

[Tomat]

They call it the MNK expansion but we all know it's about SMNs now.

 

[suzu]

Might play BRD again cuz no cast time. :O

After SMN that is.

Look at these two replying at the same time. Time to move to RDM!

That's probably where the Overheat system goes in

 

[ubercheez]

As a Bard main and Summoner secondary, so much yes right now.

THANK YOU YOSHI-P!!!!

Worst change in the game; bards might potentially have fun now.

 

[Qvoth]

i just realized blm casting fire 4 reduces the crystal thing to the left of the foul stack icon, so i think the max number of fire 4 per rotation is 3 now
blizzard 3 might be the best opener now, blizzard 3 opener is a japanese thing afaik

Thought I heard Yoshi mention something about starting with Blizzard earlier. I missed part of the BLM stuff though.

I've been half-jokingly predicting SB will repeat HW and I'll end up playing whichever of the new jobs is semi-broken and considered unraidable. IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

People down on blm?

Did you guys forget the feeling of back to back 15k+ fire 4 crits?

That is life.

 

[gryvan]

Worst change in the game; bards might potentially have fun now.

All i do was afk while playing BRD

 

[Qvoth]

graphically the new spell foul just isn't as amazing as others, that's just what i feel

 

[EndcatOmega]

Well you can't have fun with it if you're not there, so that was fine, BRD/gryvan working as intended.

 

[dramatis]

You'll have even less fun when they remove Fracture

 

[Kintaro]

YES! Auto upgrading spells!

 

[studyguy]

PLD: "Yeah that's got new skills" in terms of it's explanation. Thanks YoshiP

I'm one of those weird people who doesn't get excited by huge crits when they only amount to a tiny sliver on a raid boss' health bar.

BLM as it is isn't bad at all though, it's not like it suddenly don't be fun.

I just want meteors...

 

[Dougieflesh]

YES! Auto upgrading spells!

2nd best news so far!

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

PLD: "Yeah that's got new skills" in terms of it's explanation. Thanks YoshiP

PLD got one good looking skill. They don't deserve anything else.

 

[rubius01]

I'm sad they just didn't delete bard

 

[Qvoth]

thunder 3 auto replacing thunder 1
thunder 4 auto replacing thunder 2, these are both aoe thunders

 

[Foxxsoxx]

I'm sad they just didn't delete bard

 

[AlphaDragoon]

Samurai looks hype as fuck. Was expecting cast bars on the iaijutsu attacks but I guess since they abolished them on Bard and Machinist they wouldn't add them to Samurai.

 

[Stone Ocean]

I'm sad they just didn't delete bard

They already did that in 3.0, why do it again?

 

[Wilsongt]

I'm sad they just didn't delete bard

Go away.

It's going to feel weird playing Bard now. I was so used to the cast bars.

 

[EndcatOmega]

I'm sad they just didn't delete bard

Then their players would be free to spread the contamination, gotta think long term.

 

[Frumix]

New Stormblood job: Bard

 

[iammeiam]

I'm glad we're spending multiple minutes explaining, in-depth, the concept of skills auto-upgrading.

There aren't

like

multiple other jobs they could be explaining in this time.

Skill Showcase video

 

[Elman]

Hmmm they might have merged Ruin spells in a similar fashion 👍

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

YoshiP:"In 4.0 we made it so Melees has to cast now, and ranged DPS no, in 5.0 BRD will have to cast again so melee don't suck again, and so the circle of life will continue forever"

 

[Soroc]

so for auto replacement of spells.

WHM example.

Will status debuff heavy now be on all versions of stone? I used to throw out a stone 1 to heavy a monster to slow it getting to a boss or to me while soloing. I guess if auto upgrade of abilities I'll no longer be able to do this as a higher level player?

 

[Kintaro]

PLD blocking magic!

 

[Stone Ocean]

PLD blocking magic is HUGE

 

[Qvoth]

ok from watching the blm showcase again, blm can still use fire 4 even without the umbral hearts, but probably will be at less damage
i'm convinced now blizzard 3 opener will be default

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

PLD OP, thanks for nothing yoshiP
