Does anyone know what kind of gear Dancers get yet? I probably don't have time to craft any before early access, but I'm curious.

Hmm I really wonder where they could cut their workload down to make male viera/female hrothgar more viable. No possible idea what they could cut to make way for that. Guess we just have to make do.

In like 2 days they will read the patch notes on stream, is about as comprehensive as you're going to get. If you google for changes for specific jobs you can find a general breakdown of them, but the specifics are almost all out of date since they were published

This seems to be the most comprehensive collection of job action changes. It's old and prelim, so there are probably errors in the tooltips and potencies, but you should get the gist.

Yeah, I've never been able to make an Au'ra or bunny that I liked. Something about their faces doesn't jive. I think its the bunny nose.

Not really. If the stated reason we aren't getting the gender pairs is their work pipeline can't handle it, then cutting out work they have to do makes sense. Making gear sets for like, 3% and 5% of the population, when at least half of those are just going to glam random level 1 costumes, is absurd. Never mind the knockon effect of having less useless crap mucking up drop tables. Luv 2 git scouting gear when there's no nin's around. They should just roll them both into striking and then cycle through the aesthetics.

Joke's on you - Lalafells use the same body type between male and female, so if you wanna cut their work load enough for male Viera and female Hrothgar you should really be taking aim at the Elezen.

They've got fairly broad faces, thin noses that attach further down on the face than normal, and very prominent mouth cylinders with a slight overbite. It gives them a fairly flat middle third of the face that curves out into a much rounder lower face. This is a matter of aesthetic taste: I'd be fine playing a Viera, but would have trouble playing a dragongirl, for example, because I dislike how flat and pointed their faces are compared to other races.

I really like how the Viera faces have more of a "oh my god I'm so done with this poo poo" vibe to them, which feels appropriate going into this expansion (or for playing DRK).

A few days before ShB and I have no idea if I want to play Bard or Summoner.

Bard gets a lot of good QoL changes and a Heavy Shot upgrade, but Apex Arrow looks lame as hell.

Summoner gets bird friend and clingy dragon friend appears more often, but making the mistake of reading a reddit theory thread on the class is giving me a dreadful suspicion that it might turn out clunky again

really, really don't trust reddit theory threads for how a class plays in practice. Don't go to the balance, don't go to the official forums, don't go anywhere. Those guys always scream that the sky's falling and invariably their complaints are either a: wrong or b: patched within a month or so.
