  1. I wouldn't be opposed to a straightforward class if the trick is in how its combos are executed/what situation they are most useful for rather than how complex its skills tie in together.
    Stuff that shows encounter skill like how a PLD can use Requiescat right before a phase where the boss damages stuff in melee range and you have to stay away from the boss. Using 4 Holy Spirit in a row while the other DPSes have to just spam their ranged button, that sort of thing.
    Better than current Dragoon at least where you go from combo to combo and need to reset combos on movement phases if True North isn't available at least.
    Here's hoping it will be a good class!

  2. Similar opinion to mine. Job looks fun af! Sadly all the skills, while cool looking, all blend together to look samey and it seems to really lack its own identity. The dual sword and double blade modes may aswell not exist because there's nothing to distinguish them from the blue flashey fast attacks. Also a nitpick but a job called VIPER gets NO poison dot to maintain!? Might aswell call the job something else entirely and it'd still be the same.

  3. omg someone actually mentions Zidane and even Gabranth that the job is based off it. Sick of hearing Darth Maul 💀

    Holy shit it is Kirito 😮

    I was expecting an action that would change it from dual wield to dual blade. Both stances would change how it's gcd actions be entirely. Nope, hyperfast basic combos, can't tell when it changes wpn stances at all lol. Korean MMO, yeah I see that now geez

  4. So the problem is 'expressionless', but like…

    Nobody would allow 'skill expression' anyway? We all saw on the subreddit just how quickly people optimized the fun out of Pictomancer into some boring static rotation :/
    Skill expression doesn't really exist when you have the optimizers theorycrafting.

  5. It's Reaper 2. You just alternate combo finishers to keep up different buffs. Looks like an all style no substance job. But best to reserve judgment until players can hit the lab with it.

  6. The job lacks personality, I'm not crossing fingers or hoping anything since I don't like melee DPS. Making it flashy and cool just for the sake of making it flashy and cool does not add anything substantial.

  7. I was really hoping it was going to work like black mage transpose where you would press a button and you would swap stances and it would have its own moveset. It still looks very fun but this class will probably play itself thats how easy it will be imo
