I think it's awesome and hilarious that it turned out you're a Goon! This game has some pretty great pets and they're tons of fun to collect. I'm also glad to see my random panda flinging was a hit.

Also you've made a terrible mistake.

There was definitely a PLD casting something looking exactly like almost holy in the benchmark.

I saw that, but it looked to me that was something the White Mage had cast on the PLD going off, rather than something the PLD himself was doing.

The WHM hit multiple people, and the PLD was in a casting animation prior to getting hit, that synced up nicely to make a mini-holy.

My money's on the PLD doing it.

I'm convinced now that PLD's real shtick is being an expansion behind the other tanks in skills and abilities.

2.0 PLD had only one full combo while WAR had three.
3.0 PLD gets three combos like WAR and DRK but lacks aoe attacks unlike the other two tanks.
I guess we'll see PLD get a gap closer in 5.0 to match WAR and DRK. :v:

I'm going to laugh so hard when it turns out that the thing that obviously looks like a paladin AOE skill is just a defensive buff or something, and paladins go another expansion with no AOE.

And then unsub.

It probably is the PLD doing it, but we have no idea what it does. I wouldn't really even call it mini holy because that implies it does damage, it looked more like a defensive buff or something to me.

I should have put more effort into DRK earlier. I'm really enjoying leveling that job. Almost level 44 and already more fun than Paladin.

It looks like a mini-holy, and that's an easier name than "Upcoming 4.0 paladin skill that creates a spherical purple/white particle effect in front of the caster with an unknown effect."

At the same time, calling it mini-holy makes paladin sound way cooler than it is, and we can't have that.

Fair point.

I had a good laugh when I saw their new skill have a cast animation. Warriors get a sweet-rear end charge, Dark Knights get some covering ability, and (hypothetically) Paladins get an AOE skill that will likely get damage-cancelled every time it would be useful.

Don't worry. Dungeons are not really the pinnacle of min/maxers. And chances are, your party members are bringing you down further then the job you rolled in on.

A fun exercise is to look back at the HW trailer and look at the abilities they revealed there. They made it look like shieldtron worked on nidhogg's fire breath and lol at that.

If I had to take a wild guess I'd assume that mini-holy is going to be a single target, maybe multi-target damage spell that gives PLD a reason to spend MP in combat, and then the screenshot is showcasing an aoe combo ender or something.

Meanwhile I have no loving idea what's going on in the DRK screenshot. I can't even tell what angle the camera is at.

There's only one thing in the mountains that leaves a track like this. The creature of legend that roams the Timberline. My people named him Sasquatch. You call him... Bigfoot.
That screeshot almost makes me think DRK are getting their own version of Shukuchi, because of course they can teleport from shadow to shadow.
