Nope.

Yeah, just saw....

And once again I learn a new word from playing a video game.

If you're on PC and using a keyboard press the + button on the numpad and it will hide the combat menu displaying the radar / time, if you're on xbox or ps2, can't help you unless you use a keyboard on those consoles as well, at which point why aren't you on PC.

On Ps2, typing /clock toggles the appearance of the radar/compass and the time on and off?

Yes - the point was while in combat. It's likely whichever button you press to get to the inventory sort (Manual/Auto) option.

They will be ignored if they are not better than weapon skills that we have already. Why would you use something that is not as good as something else? Going back to the Rampage example, would you use Bora Axe because it is newer than Rampage even though it does a fraction of the damage?

They look pretty, but is it too much to hope that they are useful? It would be lovely if there was a one-handed axe weapon skill that had a description other than "Damage varies with TP. Not nearly as good as Rampage".

It has been a while since I moved away from PS2, but I believe that pushing the triangle button will do the same thing as the + button does to see the compass/clock while in combat. I set up my PC controller with the same button layout and configuration as the PS2 controller, and that button does the trick for me.

Why the fuck are the Mithra animations so badass (ib4 Mithra > all)

[Spira]

houmaigod that polearm ws

[darkepyon]

DAAAAAMN! I sure hope these don't suck in comparison to what we have now. Could always dat mod if need be I guess.

Edit: I just learned a new Latin word! Requiescat means "rest in peace."

[Therin]

I'm going to have to start playing again just for that Great Sword WS.

[Byrthnoth]

Multi-hit GS WS. A challenger appears!

[Alkar]

You know, at least you guys are getting new weapon skills, BLMs and other mages get new spell tiers, PUPs got overhauled, BSTs get new pets all the time, etc.
Summoner gets nothing.
I'd also like to know who's using Double Slap over anything learned past that level these days. I'm sure BLMs are still using Thunder IV as well right?
See, dumb comparison is dumb. Getting a new tier of BPs would obviously lead to them being used unless SE is completely braindead which could be the case when it comes to developing new options for Summoner.
Also last I checked all the WS introduced ever since the cap was raised are useful in one way or another.

[S N K]

I can only hope. Jesus DRG looks fucking hot.

[Jem]

I hope either the Scythe or Greatsword WS is actually better than what is currently available to DRK. Otherwise I'm sure we'll all emowrists more so than usual

How would the Great Sword WS not be? Multi-hit is enough to make it better than every other Great Sword WS.

Well Torcleaver is 4.75 - 6.5 ftp so not necessarily. Plus, just because it looks like it's 5 hit doesn't mean it actually will be. There's other WS'es that look like they should be more hits than they actually are.

I'm hopeful that it will be (and I think it probably will be), but saying it 100% will be at this point would be stupid.

[The Blackrose]

When they say "vote", I hear "Hippogryph jug".

Truth be told, I saw the road SE was taking with Scholar and Regen back to when it was first implemented. Why they didn't do it sooner is beyond me, though.

Still does not fix the fact that overall, Scholar is a sub-par job. At best, it's a patch healer with some nuking ability. With helices accessible to all (only to have damage level as a differentiation), the joke that Cure IV/Regen was during Abyssea (where I stopped), and some job-defining abilities being made available, there is no reason to bring a SCH main as a primary role. SCH who know how to play will still have something, but the clueless ones are better off leveling something else.

Christ, it feels like playing a Druid in EverQuest all over again, to the letter.

[Selamis]

Oh my, dat great sword ws!
