Only made it to the end of stormblood but still got my pre-order for tomorrow looking forward to the long q times

My Girl

what hairstyle is in the first two? my ass might need to go back to zadnor/eureka to those hairstyles. can't really find a look for my WoL that i really like

Its a standard hairstyle i dunno if its miquote exclusive. I think its in the last third of their hairstyles.

huh, no kidding. the highlights make it look good as hell

Yeah i was suprised how good it was. Certain highlights are plainly dumb and ugly on other hairstyles xD

@redtruth thoughts on the DRK changes?

Not good tbh, DRK needed a few qol changes from ShB but it didn't get any of them. Most changes that DRKs wanted was that the skill "Blood Weapon" will hold 5 charges instead of being 10 seconds for ease of use, for the AoE not to be tied to spell speed instead of skill speed and that Living Dead gets reworked so that it isn't what it is now.

The new skills it got from 80 to 90 are also mostly filler and don't interact with its current toolkit at all. Another issue is that every tanks invulnerability got increased to the same length as Living Dead (so 10 seconds) whilst Living Dead remains unchanged which solidifies it as the worst tank invulnerability now.

DRK is still definitely playable in EW and it was already really strong in ShB, a lot of people are just really disappointed since most of the changes they wanted didn't happen for some reason and when you compare it to what other tanks got it kinda makes the changes look even worse.

I believe that the dev team was really happy with how DRK played in ShB so they tried to not change anything at all.

Problem is that when you introduce something like this ....

people are rightfully going to be pissed off and think you have no idea for the direction you want to take the job

Still going to main it tho Although I have been playing GNB a lot recently too so might swap

was a bit hesitant to make any judgments when they initially showed off the job actions, but man now that i see the 6.0 patch notes, DRK really didn't get s***

shame because aesthetically, it's the edgelord job i've always wanted. obv it'll be viable, but shame it didn't get much, especially compared to the other tanks. guess i'll live out my edgelord fantasy as a reaper

my friend has been loving playing as a GNB. seems like they also got some pretty good stuff added to their kit. might just swap to PLD whenever i decide to level a tank. speaking of, (lower level?) jobs level faster in endwalker, right? believe that's what i read.

I haven't visited the official forums since the patch notes came out but last time I checked people were MAD about the lack of DRK changes, think I seen one thread that had 50 pages

I'm not that upset about it since I already liked how current DRK played though. Been thinking of going through the story as a PLD on some FF4 s*** but I might play GNB instead since I can't stand how PLD plays and I just like GNB gameplay more

yeah, people are not happy at all

which jobs do you have at 80? was also thinking GNB because it's cool as hell. my friend will prob convince me at some point def not touching WAR

DRK, GNB, PLD
AST, WHM
DRG, SAM
MCH,
RDM, BLM and SMN

I mainly play GNB, DRG and RDM these days though, haven't actually touched DRK in a while

Also I feel you on WAR, I kinda don't like the aesthetic so its the only tank I haven't bothered levelling

man, i really gotta play more jobs. just got my RDM at 80 very curious to see how SMN plays. definitely think i'll be more inclined to try some random jobs out with all these changes.

WAR's aesthetic is just so lame to me. get nothing from it. DRK definitely has the coolest

Yeah im curious on how SMN plays as well, its got a pretty cool aesthetic now as well now that you can actually summon. Reminds me of Yuna from FFX (which is why I decide to level it )

I only level classes with cool aesthetics tbh, GNB another one of my favourites just because of Squall from FF8

i think i got SMN to 60~ or so last year. really regret not leveling it more

believe my friend did the same w/ GNB. saw the gunblade and started playing such a unique job too.

Ready for this story to f*** me up

I'm liking these new ast changes not sure how to feel about not having nocturnal/diurnal sect anymore but it kinda makes sense with the introduction of sage

damn, there was no queue for me to get in today

WOWWWWWW SO ITS HER

reaper is so raw

You weren’t lying this job is so fun

So tempted to leave that for the MSQ, but I shouldn't

I’m going through it. On one hand the story’s pretty juicy already. On the other, I’m having fun with Reaper and the quest line is really interesting so far

Monk changed will take a LOT of getting used to anyway, but I’m sure it’s for the better
