  1. I was not impressed with Picto initially, but after seeing these gameplay vids and all the action you get into, I'm sold on it. Debating taking it through as my 7.0 class to 100 🙂

  2. Can you time it so you have subtractive going into the landscape buff so you can do 2 subtractive back to back rather than 1 additive and 1 subtractive? (Since additive is so much weaker)

  3. I'm still a bit confused about the PCT. I understand each of the systems individually, and I get that during the burst one would want to use the aetherhues to build up the rainbow canon. And I get the instant hammer free movement.
    But when would one want to use the Creatures in a 2min rotation? They do a lot of damage so at least they have to be used during burst, but you have to keep casting them onto the canvas which does no damage.
    I can't quite picture the rotation like I can for the other jobs.

  4. When I first heard about Pictomancer, I thought it’d be like that one character from Naruto, whose drawings came to life; that would have been fcking awesome…

    But turns out it’s the weebiest most non-impactful class to ever exist in the entire MMO genre. It’s like it was made specifically for Lalafel players.

  5. I'm so hyped for Pictomancer!! 🎨🖌 I don't quite get all the details of how you use the canvas abilities, but the landscape/support skill seems fun. It will be rewarding to use it at the right time and place within a fight to maximize its uptime. I hope we get to use it fairly often and it's not just another 2-minute buff window thing.

  6. I officially have a new main lmao I have been a SCH/SMN main since 2.0 launch. Now I’m going hardcore PCT. It just looks super, super fun. The animations are gaudy yet beautiful. The cartoony style has definitely grown on me. The Rainbow Brite reference too?? Totally in love. I cannot wait for the job quest

  7. Why does every magical dps in ff14 make my head spin from how complicated they all are. Both new classes are big busts for me and have no appeal. I'm a phy rng main though and hope next expansion I see either a gunslinger with two pistols, alchemist, or blitzball class (which seems unlikely given Yoshi and his cohorts hate blitzball and final fantasy 10 and 10-2 with a passion). Once again a recent interview stating no blitz ball.
