I have no other reason other than I thought it looked cool.

The effect looked like just regular Flare. I'll be pretty bummed if the new skills are just stronger versions of skills we already have.

IS every job getting a new LB or is it just a few select ones like DRG/BLM?
If I am not mistaken, we see the following in regards to new skills:
SCH and WHM starting to buff and seems like an advanced insta cast protect goes off by the WHM and the sound of succor and some shield effect from the SCH (advanced succor?).
A pretty cool initial attack from the PLD (advanced taunt I would assume)
A kickass fire attack by the WAR
DRG Swing
Some default casting animation by the SCH and camera pan
Cool jump attack by the bard
Monk Backflip attack that looks boss
WHM casting Stone III
BLM with really cool casting effect (advanced Flare?) I assumed the cast time was linked to the actual flare like end so yeah..probably advanced Flare stuff..
SMN skill either DD or pet skill? (Egis are bigger!) They also confirmed that Summoner is getting a pretty heavy revamp and Tri-Disaster is said to actually be made useful (took them long enough..)
Channeled/charged skill by the dragon and PAL shielding himself with really cool new effect.
New DRG LB 3 supposedly? Looks like he is summoning Midgardsorm in a pretty breathtaking animation attack.
Quoting them again:
So I guess at least a few poor sods will be stuck with existing ones.
My guess is WHM will still have aoe res - and I hope SCHs get a unique one linked to mitigation, I am selfish like that. If we are stuck with the res one I am starting to get really pissed at everything related to SCH in the upcoming expansion...and might just go full Astrologist out of spite!
I didn't want that Egi anyway! No, wait. They are bigger now. Yes, gimme!

Every class/job/whatever is allegedly going to have a unique LB of some sort. Please look forward to it.
Its Shield Lob, followed by Riot Blade, followed by a new attack.
I assume the Shield Lob use was merely for show as the fight was being pulled and that Riot Blade being used before it is their acknowledgement that the new attack is the recently confirmed (and long awaited) second Paladin combo.
I assume (and hope) that it has some kind of buff or debuff and doesn't generate aggro.
Yeah definitely the cast animation looks different so here's hoping. I'm hoping for some meaningful mechanical changes/enhancements to the way the job operates. But then I have no idea what to expect since I've never really been involved in an MMO at a point of transition like this.
OH yeah, I should have written, new combo (the upwards thrust in the end is new). I assumed it's a taunt/aggro since there was no shielding effect in the actual particles but that doesn't need to mean anything. I am just assuming away because I have nothing better to do until Monday.

It's in the benchmark. Only DRG, though.
If I had to guess I would say that the old LBs are going to BLM, MNK, PLD and WHM.
We're just referring to the DRG LB at the end of the benchmark trailer.
No others have been revealed:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGOIF_7vuLw&feature=youtu.be
Pretty much what I guessed
MNK: Since
Yda used it in the cutscene
BLM: Meteor, nuff said
PLD: The more defensive tank get the defensive tank LB
WHM: Since they are more heals than shields, the Pulse of life one seems like a no brainer.
I really hope its not. There's really no reason for them to give Paladin ANOTHER aggro attack. They need a non-aggro combo, and I assume the upwards thrust is intended to be it.
Also, Monk will 100% keep the melee limit break because its Final Heaven.

Just a heads up for some people that wanted a deal on Heavensward.
Check here http://www.greenmangaming.com/vip/
and see if Heavensward comes up for you on the list.
Right now it is showing as $29.99 for me with the Collector's Edition being $44.99, which isn't bad.

Hmmm. Does Alexander Hard have better gear than Normal, I wonder?
Or is it just same gear but hey you get titles or something. Maybe the ability to dye your Alexander gear.

The solution to only 2% of NA/EU clearing the current raid tier is to introduce an even harder tier. Squenix are such unrepentant geniuses.
Then again Squenix literally only designs for JP playerbase, where 10% have cleared the Final Coil, so maybe it makes sense in that context.
Not sure if serious...

I would trade you if I still played. I liked the simplicity of the old LB3. DRG one looks way too flash.

They said they were thinking of cosmetics and what not, not actual better stats. Think those ugly glowy armor upgrades from alchemy, or dyable armor, stuff like that.
The "how to play your class tutorial" thing I think, with DPS meters(only for that place) and crap, WoW did that recently I believe.

How much do I have to pay for this to be real?
Introducing Alexander normal and hard is to address this. Alexander normal is to get the casuals through the raid and the raid story. On that reddit post they said it would probably be beaten first day. This way they are not designing content that only a small percentage of their player base is going to see. Alexander hard is for the 2%.
Pretty sure they said in earlier interviews that the two tiers would have different gear drops.
why is this a joke. why
thought it was thread worthy lol

Went from "fine" to "meh, I wouldn't order that" then back to "fine" before ending at "why would you do that to pizza".
That's if she ordered actual lemons on it though.
I was expecting a whole lemon just rolling around the top going "FUCK YOU I'M A LEMON."
This is significantly worse than expectations.

That's not a pizza. I'm not sure what that is, but it's not a pizza. Some kind of unwrapped wrap?
Thats not a pizza, thats a crime.
I could answer this.
I could.
I don't like pesto, otherwise I'm fine with it? I mean, it's pretty obviously a cooked pizza crust with a bunch of veggies chucked on top. It'd get weird if they then stuck the whole thing in the oven and baked it, but it doesn't look like they did. I had to actually go check the Mod menu to make sure it's not something they offer; it's a weird line between California style pizza and the Mod Pizza Salad (which is exactly what it sounds like.)
Would you guys feel better if they used the word 'flatbread' instead of pizza.

I guess I'm the only person on Earth who sees an issue with the only 2 difficulty levels of the new Alexander raid being 'CT' and 'Savage Coil'. There's a reason why Blizzard has like 5 difficulty levels for WoW raids now, some people don't want everything to be faceroll or impossible with no in-between options.
the bait worked \o/
Is this what fishing is like?
I still don't understand the lemon. Maybe I need to try that and report back.
I still hate green beans, though.
And maybe we'll get there eventually. Besides that, I believe the more correct line was "between Final Coil and Savage" rather than "Savage level."
Until we actually see it, not entirely sure we can say much about the difficulty spread. I do agree it'd be nice to have a third one (aka, an actual "Savage" as we know it) but eh.
