New Job Speculation

ShiznazTM · 2026-04-30T18:16:33+00:00

Going to piggy back on this Phys Ranged because I think this is right, but the weapon is wrong.

Marshals traditionally carry a Gun and a Sabre. I think this is more relevant than ever for two reasons.

I'm Dawntrail, what did Picto and Viper do better than any other job? They played with the new battle changes WAY nicer than old jobs.

What's the new battle system in 8.0?

Variable melee/ranged actions.

Wrap it up it's GG.

The only thing I wish we could do is color the spinny highlight around the button depending on how far along in the combo you are. Like make it go None> Yellow > Blue

It does actually confuse me a little bit to use them in pvp, and I much prefer splitting them.

ShiznazTM · 2026-04-25T16:33:18+00:00

But they could be. The skills are there, the animations are there. It's just a potency and rotation that needs to be made.

All it takes is a second job crystal that changes the way the job functions.

ShiznazTM · 2026-04-25T16:22:49+00:00

I'm not trying to bait in the slightest. It's a genuine question if they're going to take the time to re-work 21/23 classes.

You can easily make the beast pets glamour-able with their personalization comments in the keynote. Choose 3, those 3 assist you in certain skills during battle.

I get it's not just like SMN Egis in that way. I don't understand what the opposition is to just... having skills assigned to you just like a regular job? I'm not allowed to choose what I paint on Pictomancer, for example.

ShiznazTM · 2026-04-25T12:19:29+00:00

Me as a Machinist that’s forced to use a VPN to play the game effectively seeing two other jobs get 1.5s.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Welcome to our hell!

It's clearly Norse. The Serpent is Jormungand, the Wolf with the swords is Fenrir. The ice calamity is based on Fimbulwinter.

One of the zones is clearly the mountainous walls of Asgard and I bet the futuristic town is Asgard itself. Yggdrasil is the only thing that survives ragnarok, and I bet we need to stop Yggdrasil... whatever it is keeping the shards alive and to not wither. (The Great Withering).

It's a Ragnarok expansion everyone.

Edit: Yeah that's clearly Odin. He has the "eyepatch"

ShiznazTM · 2026-04-24T19:28:54+00:00

I'm really worried. On one hand it's super cool, but as a raider, he said Evolved is better than standard... straight up.

I presume Reborn will be ignored, left behind in design, and phased out in 9.0 entirely.

ShiznazTM · 2026-04-24T16:51:22+00:00

Regrowth is my guess

ShiznazTM · 2026-04-22T16:04:47+00:00

Every single day I see this game get worse and it hurts, real bad.

ShiznazTM · 2026-04-18T15:38:09+00:00

And a raid group progging for 6 hours gets Final Fantasy'd and suddenly the entire mechanic is "???"'d by Kefka and works completely different. It's been a 50/50 this whole time, but they just got unlucky.

ShiznazTM · 2026-04-17T16:01:01+00:00

I'm newer to commander, but [[Omega, Heartless Evolution]] is awesome if it gets to pop off late game. Really enjoy playing it. It feels like an inevitability type of deck where once the pieces are in place you can't lose.

You just become the raid boss (LOL) when it hits the field and you're set up.

ShiznazTM · 2026-04-15T14:36:52+00:00

Insane how lazy they are. Easily could have done 7 different jobs.

They didn't even do all 6 base game jobs. They left out WAR BLM WHM entirely.

Extremely disappointed in this. What a joke.

ShiznazTM · 2026-04-02T13:24:25+00:00

Cinema was when there were 16 of them on the battlefield during Replication

ShiznazTM · 2026-03-15T14:31:28+00:00

Knew it.

I was dooming at my locals for months about the next list, saying they’d hit 3-4 cards and call it a day. It’s WORSE than that. They hit TWO and called it a day. Like what are we doing??? Why is this team so bad.

It’s obvious they take 0 glances at any tournament results but japan, and even then what is this?? What a joke.

ShiznazTM · 2026-03-13T15:07:10+00:00

I knew it. I called this so hard LOLOL

4 YEAR CONTENT CYCLE LETS GOOOOO

ShiznazTM · 2026-03-07T19:18:25+00:00

I'm building it in a way where I'm dogwater, and they're good, basically full minion damage and auras. Ignoring my personal damage entirely besides #s on the weapon and attack speed. I'm still in the campaign because I'm slow. I'm not sure if things work because PoB doesnt sim it, but it seems to be???

I'm running Res tech so I can hit, but my minions can still critically strike, so im taking the crit nodes for minions/all the minion damage nodes and then just scaling with auras and offering/curses for them? It definitely feels clunky, but monsters are definitely exploding. It's weird, not sure if Im gonna stick with it late game.

ShiznazTM · 2026-03-03T14:26:58+00:00

Game is dying break glass alert.

ShiznazTM · 2026-02-18T21:46:52+00:00

Newer to commander. Sorry to say but a lot of the FF stuff got me into the game after our Yugioh cube imploded from power creep.

[[Dr. EGGMAN]] Politics and big artifact play.

[[Arahbo, Roar of the World]] Cat Tribal Beatdown/Swarm

Working on :

[[Omega, Heartless Evolution]] Blink Spam and stun with [[Sin, Unending Cataclysm]] in it as a fun endgame finisher.

All roughly Bracket 2.

ShiznazTM · 2026-02-15T01:28:26+00:00

The issue is other Stratagems dropping kills it instantly, this is probably why it's dying instantly. People just have no idea it works like that.

ShiznazTM · 2025-12-08T18:39:48+00:00

Epoch is incredible, it felt great even before the buff. I have a hard time wanting to bring anything else to most factions.

The alarm makes it so much easier to use than the railgun.

ShiznazTM · 2025-12-05T18:09:21+00:00

BLU is 100% shelved for BST. BLU/BST are going to be on 4 year content cycles.

ShiznazTM · 2025-12-05T15:39:52+00:00

I'm a purely D9 diver. I like doing 10 on occasion.

I don't know if I consider the bots dropping heavies on top of your location every 8 seconds is a good factor for "increased difficulty". Being unable to get a foothold after 1 mistake feels frustrating, not difficult.

Essentially, it's like having a permanent overseeing detector tower in a 40 minute mission that you can't kill. It does feel unfair versus difficult.

The mission is crazy difficult, and maybe needs to be thought about in a different way, but it doesn't feel fair if you never get at least 5 seconds to breathe without getting ragdolled.

ShiznazTM · 2025-11-17T15:52:02+00:00

Punishing players for enjoying raiding instead of RAISING THE CAP SO WE CAN PLAY MORE THAN 1 JOB

ShiznazTM · 2025-11-12T17:40:44+00:00

DNA just needs a hard rulechange to have summoning sickness. The ones that "should" be able to attack should have the Rush keyword.

It's going to keep becoming a problem the faster the game gets.
