ZOMG BRD and MCH lost their cast times!!!! ^_^

Dat Summoner...

So was the Bahamut an actual pet you'll keep around? Or is it a "ultimate" ability of some sort? Keep in mind I've barely played the game

More like an ultimate ability of sorts. From what they said, it sounds like it'll be like after you've gone thru dreadwyrm trance a few times, you'll get the ability to summon bahamut for a bit. Ofc won't know for sure until we get into ea/launch.

I'm not totally sold out but some of the changes are good.

SMN sounds cool but I think I'll get bored fast. I just don't like how the dot archetype was made in FFXIV I guess. And I'm tired of the same ol' egi.

I might go RDM or go back to AST.

huzzah accuracy stat going away!

And it's taking parry along with it.

Wait does that mean the DRK parry skill is going away as well?

They're just talking stats on gear, not Parry as a whole, parry just doesn't exist on gear anymore.

Ah I see I wish I could watch the video but I cant watch it where I am at right now =(

So many QOL changes, it's fucking amazing

After finally seeing SAM in action I'm beyond hyped for this xpac.

What happened to SCH? I wasn't watching it.

Also I get to be even more lazy with the cleric stance change, wheeee.

It sounds like you'll be linking your fairy to a target for special, unique heals, and then your healing and DPS abilities fill up a unique meter

It's unclear if the link and meter is killing the fairy to heal the ally, then your heals heal her too, or if it's just a secondary resource

Oh huh. I get to be even more lazy! Well, presuming if the fairy doesn't emo herself. Any idea how long in the stream it was? I'll try to search for it. Same with SMN I guess since it's the only DPS I play atm.

Couldn't tell you, but if you can't find it, the job action trailer will likely be going up on the youtube later today

Nice. Curious though what the specifics of the fairy does or if it differs from fairy to fairy. It doesn't seem like it's draining any health since the aoe heal didn't affect the fairy bar. Bar seems to build up by aetherflow healing casts.

Also we get more boom for SMN, lol. More orbital strikes!
