It's a pretty major rework and we're just assuming potencies and rotations will stay the same. I didn't even see a turret for MCH at all, and we're calculating Hypercharge impact?
    What I thought too. Especially since they also mentioned changing job synergies and stuff.

    Honestly Im just glad theyre coping on and switching some spells to an auto upgrade setup. Wonder if well get a proper water swtup down the road though techically white mage should have this but all we have is a gimpy knockback spell.

    Also love Bahamut aka egi cannon

    Honestly, at the level I'll play if I end up returning (and I'll probably will), I just want cool shit. If it's sub-optimal for a world's/server's first team, well, whatever. I won't do hard mode raids anymore anyway.

    Did I see correctly that Protect will potentially be a role skill? If so, I like the idea of only one healer needing to carry protect in a fixed group. That's like a bonus slot for your other healer!

    Yep, Esuna as well. Not sure if Selene still has the AoE version at this point, may have been changed again.

    Edit: Can't wait to enter dungeons as DPS/Tank and find healers with neither equipped but with, say, Surecast instead.

    It looks like casters will have Erase, so that's another load-sharing opportunity.

    Erase can't be used on yourself right? It's also on a cooldown I believe.

    If I understand the Role actions right (that they're no longer job-specific actions and thus no one gets them for free), tanks pretty much have their entire set determined. Rampart, Provoke, Ultimatum, Convalescence and Awareness. WAR might be able to get away with foregoing Rampart in favour of something else but at best all three tanks have like, one action's worth of leeway.

    It depends on the other Caster skills. I highly doubt people will trade a potential DPS skill slot for "something the healers should be doing."

    Casters always be casting also. They're generally not going to interrupt their flow to remove something that a healer can handle.

    I'm probably going to have to make macros to swap actions around based on whether I'm doing dungeon/raid/fucking-with-rescue as heals.

    Given that most debuffs are not removable anyway, if having your caster(s) equip Erase gives your healers room to equip Cleric Stance, it's probably worth the trade.

    If all your doing is dungeons, sure, then that would be solid. Provoke is optional as far as dungeons go since you shouldn't have any swaps unless mechanics force it.

    Otherwise, you could swap Conva and Awareness against targets who don't have an increased critical rate, or don't have significant healing requirements, or if you OT in raids.

    You'll be running a heavier DPS spec for solo as well.

    If you are referring to allowing Healers to replace Esuna with Cleric Stance you should know Erase has a 90s cooldown and only removes DoT effects. You also can't use it on yourself so it has extremely limited usability.

    We don't know what two of the Tank role abilities do, but realistically I doubt there will be a "DPS spec" given the Healer role actions. Based on the translated name of one of them, "Shirk" sounds like a threat dump but I have no idea what "Anticipation" might do. So those two unknown actions aside, Rampart is a lock, Convalescence is a lock, one of Ultimatum or Provoke is a lock depending on raid or dungeon. That leaves you two slots in a raid (potentially only one slot if there's a raid encounter that requires Ultimatum) for 6 skills, two of which are stuns. Realistically Awareness is a lock for dungeons so that's one slot for five skills.

    I'm more interested in what they're going to replace all these actions on PLD with. Rampart, Awareness, Convalescence and Provoke are all (or were, until 4.0) PLD skills. I have a real hard time believing they just cut all of those out without replacing any of them because it would leave PLD in an action deficit compared to WAR and DRK (who are benefiting a lot from the skills PLD is "losing").

    In before classes are removed or classes only get 5 as well.

    This is exactly what I thought too, lol. Like, it's quite obvious from that video that the entire current meta is fucking gone. Dead as a doornail, give it up. Monk can buff the party now! MCH doesn't have a turret anymore! Throw out everything you knew about everything and start fresh. Where tanks will stand among all this new shit remains to be seen, but we won't see the correct picture until launch.

    Considering he said the cross-class system is axed, it should be a universal system.

    Then again Yoshi says a lot of things.
