Thank you for this video Rin! So excited for DT dancer
banger vid!
2SS xdd
First things first: Thank you for making a short video that shows the important part over stretching the same info into 10+ min.
As a dancer main I think those changes fit the bursty nature of dancer rather well. I'm a little sad we don't get more procs and the general issue with super high potency attacks is just further increased by those new additions but the visuals look great, the bursty and aoe nature of dancer is further enhanced and holy moly that potency trait for basically everything… maybe we finally hit harder than healers? perhaps? eventually?
I tihnk what's most impactful is that outside of your opener you never really wanted to use SS. Only had to do it if your procs were shit or you were on downtime reopener like in TOP. It's why dancer had a 3,5 SS 2 min rotation. With this change Finishing move will always get a place in your 2min burst which is cool
Damn, barely any changes, but the job barely needs anything.
I rather like these changes. A tad disappointed in the capstone, but I kinda expected them to fall into the 2m meta stuff.
Really cool that I'll get more out of standard step though.
420 NICE
As a Dancer main for the entirety of Endwalker, I am somewhat sad that we didn't get more skills in line with the job's nature as a 'Support DPS'. While I'm glad that the overall changes were minimal as Endwalker Dancer is in a really good spot, I do wish that the skills were less about personal damage and more about party buffs or buffing your Dance Partner throughout a fight.
At the end of everything, I'm just a tad bit sadge that Dancer didn't get a Battle Peloton of their own 😭
Not a big fan, just seems to add more buttons you press after doing technical step
So Standard Step gets a Tillana action is the biggest change I'm seeing. Okay. I was really hoping for a button that guaranteed feathers, but this is all nice.
Cents Bard skill change into AoE Dancers now deal more damage than them
I was honestly hoping for another skill or ability with Dancer. But they really didn't change anything negative or positive about it. It's just the same.
