    Honestly, I want to play all three healers, especially AST after seeing those animations with the Twelve. Really curious how they changed cards, given the job gauge.

    Yeah, I'm a little ambivalent about it, but it's probably to help them with their workload especially as we hit 6.0 and yet MORE new job(s).

    Who knows? Bards got a rework in 4.0 with songs and all we had was guessing from the Job Trailer until the NDA lifted.

    You'd think so for the OMGWOW! factor, but they didn't show SMN at all despite Summon Bahamut, so hard to say. Definitely agree with the BLM showcase, as well as the fact it will probably happen today too. Still, anything he shows off (esp. Actions and Traits windows) will be awesome if only...

    Ya, I'm really hoping that SMN is one of the demo'd jobs today. That and SCH are the ones I'm most curious about, with MCH and WHM right behind for rework curiosity.

    I can only give you pieces of the healer and SMN infos. Red Mage is still intact above, so devour it while you can.

    Lucky for me the design allows for easy sheet removal. I thought about doing that already, since the leaks are consistent about role actions going away and the writing's on the wall since the "you get all ten" patch to them, but I was going to wait until it was official before I murdered the...

    I seem to recall a few people losing their mind because ability X wasn't on a hotbar during the 4.0 PLL (and even I was unsure), then it turned out that no, it just simply wasn't on the hotbar; they hadn't removed it. @gshurik I started on that spreadsheet somewhere in December or January, so...

    Was probably me. I'm not really hiding. If it looked like this then it was. I really wish Google Sheets had the ability to apply a color gradient to only affect one cell, so that it interpolates between one or more colors as you go left-to-right or however you set it up.

    Enh, I don't really think SCH should get Deployment removed, but rather they should just create the concept of "barrier potency" to keep the numbers more under control (or cap the absorb amount of a barrier you can have). So to use Adlo as the example, it could have a Cure Potency of 300 and...

    Eh, PoM as a faux-Bloodlust is something I've kind of wanted for quite a while, because it doesn't offer a huge amount of boost to a WHM only. Can nuke a bit harder, but it doesn't noticeably change things unless you're hardcasting Raise, in my experience. For the rest of what @Nola pasted...

    I'm just waiting for the general public to get access to it and then complain how it's too hard to get through Blackwing Lair because of these three little words: Onyxia Scale Cloak Although, I do remember the posts from Vanilla Beta about how we wouldn't see a "real" dragon in the game until...

    Honestly, most of the buys on that list aren't worth the effort. Pegasus wasn't hard to get from Diadem 2.0, to my recollection, but it did take a little time. It was certainly faster than 50 dungeon runs or 17 MSQ dungeons, I'll wager.

    This. Plus, we don't yet know how they're going to do the Ishgard reconstruction, so materials for that might well go at a premium too. I'd be surprised if collectibles were not involved, though. That said, the Letter from the Producer LXII was pretty interesting at the end. Your bunny girls...

    Vivien's Arkbow? Or too slow? Random aside, opened a nice foil Bontu at Prerelease with Ugin the normal rare. While Bontu didn't get stuff done as much as SOMETHING ELSE (Oketra/Rhonas) would have in Limited, a 5/6 Menace for 5 that draws me 2-4 cards when it lands is fine. :p Surprisingly...

    I really think 4.3 did very well at tying up certain loose ends and beginning the kickoff for 5.0, myself. If you haven't gotten to that point yet (hint: storyline 8 man trial and the cutscenes right after it) then I'm going to leave it at that.

    As far as the Imperial mobs go, you'll see plenty for the 67, 69, and 70 MSQ dungeons. They were a bit downplayed, to be sure, but most of them show up in cutscenes only. You'll find out what got sand in Ala Mhigo lady's vagina in the MSQ. 4.3's trial and surrounding cutscenes were probably...

    If you mean the end of the Storm Rising cutscenes with Doomfist, I got the impression that that was Reyes/Reaper 1.0, not an Omnic.

    I'm personally hoping that 5.0 will dethrone the competition for best zone and/or best zone music. I really want to hear the entirety of the Rak'tika Greatwood theme, for example.

    Off the top of my head, meaning I could be wrong, Duty Roulette is based on if a given instance is unlocked, but some of the Duty Roulette categories require you to finish a certain number of them in order to queue for that roulette in the first place.

    I will answer this question on Tuesday after finishing the MSQ. If you want my thoughts on where we are RIGHT NOW, I'm a little on the fence because it's hard to comment on us going to where we're going in 5.0 without knowing why. Big long rambling and speculation with MSQ spoilers (up to 4.5)...
