They are right, though, the various emotes and idle poses and riding poses and everything else are where one race/tribe differs from the other.

The only thing I hate about the different poses and stuff is that the gender-locked weapon /cpose. Not being able to plunge my greatsword into the ground or hold my monk claws like a badass makes me want to fantasia.

Like when we first saw birdmen in heavensward doing their thing we were all like "I wanna do that" and square was like "soon!" there weren't a lady birds doing the half assed dance to be seen. Then when we got it they surprised us with that and people just accepted it because "no see it has a real life parallel." Like, nobody wanted the lame lady dance. nobody saw that and was like, that's it, those are the smooth moves I want my character to do

Scholar is fun, until everything starts going wrong and you’re out of AF stacks and it’s on cooldown and your fairy/adlo/physick spam can’t keep up with the damage. Then it’s pure hell and you feel like a prize rear end in a top hat for being so cocky earlier Basically I understand why alphinaud is a sch

unseenlibrarian posted:...You realize you can change the background in chargen to see what various skintones look like in normal light, right? Yep, but a lot of Duskwight skintones have an odd greenish undertone that bugs me more than it should, and it's hard to notice even in the sunny environments. I think the character creator uses different lighting from the rest of the game, it always seems a bit blotchy and low-quality compared to the in game lighting. Anyways all races are cool and good and it makes very little difference which one you pick. If you're worried about it, create your character, save their appearance, then make an alt on some low population server to preview voices and animation and stuff.

Rascyc posted:Scholar was over buffed anyway, nobody should complaining about that job. It’s extremely possible that I’m just very bad at it, but it feels like it’s the hardest healer to play when you’re with a group that’s determined to kill itself (low gear tanks who chain pull and don’t use cooldowns, dps who eat all mechanics, and so on)

I wish all the races had as much of a difference between the two types as the humans do. Instead, most of them are "this one has a funny nose and different skin options"

As a sch I find it easiest to handle some people loving up sometimes because there's just so many instant cast things, but also hardest to handle everyone loving up all the time, yeah. Succor was buffed to 375 potency, sure, but the extra 75 potency is entirely in the shield, so if you're trying to get people healed up between big hits it's still only useful like twice per 20s unless there's many small hits like titan's stomps. I generally deal with such situations by choosing people that seems like they're the worst and letting them die while spamming 1 lustrate on every other person when indom is on cooldown and another big hit is up soon. It's not ideal, but I've survived through enough 24 mans and non-savage poo poo this way to prevent wipes.
