Skills: Dagger/EVD/Parry: 196, Throwing: 190, H2H/Sword: 183

Traits: ACC/EVD bonus, Dual wield (assumed from NIN sub) Stealth, Resist Bind/Slow, and Subtle Blow

Fighting an easy pray, I was doing about 30dmg/hit with 235 ATT (5 from gear) and a 21 dmg dagger. Dances(buffs/enfeebling/healing, all cost low ammounts of TP) give the finishing points, Flurishes do status effects and stuff. One of them "redies monster for skillchain" it did no damage, but it linked to Gust Slash and Cyclone and made a SC. The effect itself did no dmg.

Effects: monster DEF down, Hastega, Movement speed increase, 3 cures, 1 AoE cure, Stun, can't remember the others.

196 dagger means B rating, and Acc bonus trait didn't come from NIN, so thats quite acceptable for TP building with appropriate acc gear - slightly better than COR since COR doesn't have that trait. If they can use Merc Kris, building TP shouldn't be a problem aside from when the mob's TP IS a problem..

[shirizaan]

Scholar is really sexy.

skillchains require an element -> element priority from WS to make a SC
sounds like this ability of dancer simply creates an all purpose open element effect: then the closing weapons Primary Priority will be the closing SC (secondary shouldn't be checked cause there is no failing of the primary)

so probably can't make light/dark with those effects, but can make lv1-lv2 SC, could still be good with all the skillchain effect update

You know, if they get access to Homam, that might be a very, very exciting job.

[Phraust]

Damn, Just shy of knowing if Dancers can use Dancing Edge.

[kenshyn]

Wow allows you to close a chain just think how easy opening weapons will be now if you can do that subbed.

[Zellgadiss]

If DNC comes with an acc bonus and a provoke ability that's pretty hot.

This definatly opens up more options for tanks.

If you're going the DD tank route, sub dnc and get acc bonus. That will help out NIN's temendously. Probably not so bad for PLD either. Having extra cures might help.

On that note, did anyone notice if these flourishes that cure can be interrupted? If not then that's an awesome "save yourself" move for PLD if they're outta MP.

ie.
Throat stab > sentinel > flourish cure

[LinktheDeme]

I thought that the provoke wasn't the exact ability but the finishing move from one of the dances

It would make sence wouldn't it. Dancer gets Homam, while Scholar gets Nashira. For salvage, Skadi fits Dancer while Scholar could also make good use of the Morrigan's set.

I don't think that dancer will be able to wear homam armor. Dancers will probably only be able able to wear leather and cloth stuff, so they'll probably have a similar selection to PUP in terms of melee gear if i had to guess. Scholar probably will have access to nashira. The boots would be nice for them with the +5 elemental magic skill.

[Stromgarde]

Spoiler: Homam is leather

[fantasticdan]

Spoiler: Homam is leather

Than why does it make the clanky metal noises when I walk around in it?

[Stromgarde]

The boots, hands, and body have metal attached. The head is just a helmet. In line with the amount of def provided, as well as the jobs that can use, it's leather.

[lost071]

I really just don't think that SE is going to give dancer access to that set. We'll find out in a few hours though, because the last update is later today and the gear will be updated to show what gear the new jobs will have access to.

This isn't wow, any job can wear any armor type. If you're going by the types listed on somepage, whm can wear chainmail and plate:

http://ffxi.somepage.com/itemdb/7011
http://ffxi.somepage.com/itemdb/1527

Cor, rdm, rng, thf, blu can wear plate:

http://ffxi.somepage.com/itemdb/7045

Brd, blm, smn, pup on plate:

http://ffxi.somepage.com/itemdb/1546

Also, askar is listed as plate, which is recolor of homam, while homam is obviously listed as leather... Not much sense to be had here. Seriously, armor type listed by somepage are pretty pointless in ffxi, and you can't even find that info out from in the game. Are they in the dats, or does somepage just make them up?

[Eaglestrike]

Dancer will get Homam and Skadi but not Hecatomb.

Scholar will get Nashira, Morrigan's and Marduk's.

Those are my predictions.

[Stromgarde]

Alright, fair enough. If dancer gets armor that's similar to what thief can get, them getting homam would not be an unreasonable guess... however, at this point it's all speculation still. You're probably right about the somepage making the categories up thing as well, it just stuck out in my memory.

[safer]

not sure where to ask this, but i'll try here

looking through all the posted info about scholar, there seems to be something missing that maybe someone can clear up

for those that havn't seen this video (scholar casting graviga) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Unq8rkD0KVA
at 1:46 and 2:45 it shows the job ability list, and so far the 2hour / light arts / dark arts / strategems were described, but there is another job ability what looks like "modus veritas" (meaning 'method of truth' i believe)

did anyone at the demo stations get access to this JA? and if so have any idea what it does? seems like the 1up review doesnt list this JA, and i havnt seen info about it elsewhere

[heavensword]

No, it wasn't one of the options. Has to be a post-60 ability.
