Any of you chaps who played other regions have the lowdown on destroyer?

Can check videos and stuff, there's a bunch that popped up for this release already including various guides.

General stuff is it's a slow paced hard hitting class with high stagger and destruction, with frontal positionals and now even a taunt, so it's similar in concept to Gunlancer, but less tanky(still tanky, you get a lot of self shield and several skills have dmg reduction during animation built in so you can just stand in the bad and shrug it off, I guess better to say it's less tanky if you don't play properly but more if you do since you need to actively mitigate). You generate "combo points" with blue skills, then spend them with purple skills, doing so fill up a bar and when it's full you can use a big skill that's similar to an awakening where you just mash your hammer repeatedly at stuff. The 2 class engravings are one that basically just increases your skills, and one that increases your identity gauge attack, former is mostly about your basic skills rotation and you use the gravity identity skill only for mechanics and stuff(it gives CC immunity, dmg reduction and such), while the later is mostly about filling up the gauge to get your identity skill then mashing it. I think the skill one is the meta build because the identity gauge skill is hard to use at times if the boss moves around a bunch or if you use it before a gimmick.

It recently got a lot of qol changes in KR which we're getting, so it's actually a lot less clunky to use. Before you had to hit certain skills at a specific distance of the bosses to hit them with the "right" part of the animation, which was a pain in the ass with wonky hitboxes some bosses have and them just spinning around or whatever. They removed that. They also removed all the tripods on the blue skills that were "50% to gain on additional combo point" and instead made them 100% chance or rolled it into the base skill, so it has a consistent rotation instead of having to check if you got the proc and stuff.

Honestly it looks pretty good now.

I just wish they'd give a powerpass for it, I wouldn't mind trying it out as it looks alright but fuck actually playing it. I guess I'll see what sort of event they have replacing the current ones, I could slow roll T1/T2 with event mats if they give enough, I still have knowledge transfers to get to 50. Really a fucking stupid decision to not give power passes because they just gave some, without saying that from the start. Or shit just let me buy one, I'd buy a feiton powerpass.

Yeah,

I do have to admit that the thought of leveling 1-50 is far from appealing. Maybe they will do....something.

1-50 isn't so bad cause of knowledge transfer, at least for ppl who haven't used the 9 they have already(I have plenty left personally, like 5 or whatever), the issue I have is having to grind T1/T2 and doing stories on the way(can skip rohendel and feiton and all but still have to do yorn at least). These levels are just already pretty much dead and not interesting, can throw money at it to skip but I really don't want to spend thousands of gold on a random alt, that's why I'd like a powerpass.
