BRD 1 hour looks impressive - an extra song :)

Why do I feel like most of these new 1 hours will not be used (unless they don't share a timer with the other 1 hours).

I mean, only ones I can see being the new 1 hour to use would be the BRD, RNG, and NIN.

SMN would depend on what you are doing.

BLU would depend on the spells you get to use.

PLD would depend if you need Invincible or not. But if you don't need Invincible, you don't need a PLD in the first place!

WAR...hahano

MNK...see WAR

other jobs, I would defer my opinion to others.

MNK's seems... /sigh to me.

Have they said they're going to share a timer? That would stink :(

I remember them saying that when they first proposed these new 1 hours (used to be 2 hours) before I quit 3 years ago.

They don't share a timer with the other 1-hours.

WAR - Zerg tool

MNK - This also heals full HP, so it's an "oh ***" mega chakra.

WHM - May have some limited strategic uses in content that I hope I never see.

BLM - Not bad, really.

RDM - Torrid. (terrible/horrid)

THF - Eh. This is useless in current content but a very potent and specific tool that could be useful in the future.

PLD - This was very potent on the test server, so it will probably be useful. Might be worth using during dangerous zergs.

DRK - Good, and no point in overlapping it with BW.

BST - Useless in current content.

BRD - It's another Troub buff for a boss fight.

RNG - Good, but they should have reduced Enmity during it.

SAM - This ability is too hard to use. It'll end up being Scarlet Delirium on a 60 minute timer.

NIN - Good, but it won't make NIN a zerg DD. Still good for a little extra DPS once every hour.

DRG - This was awesome on the test server.

SMN - This was also awesome on the test server. Going to easy-mode WKRs very hard.

BLU - Not great.

COR - A third roll would have been better.

PUP - Bad. Just. Bad.

DNC - Much better than Trance. This is sort of a gimp Meikyo Shisui with a few more options. Not going to change the job. A small damage boost once an hour.

SCH - Similar to THF, this doesn't really have any current use but is a very potent and specific tool that could be useful in the future.

GEO - Not sure how this will be used in practice, but it might let you stay out of range during AoE spam with your Indi spell.

RUN - Should have been wrapped into PLD's SP2, but might be usable the same way depending on potency.

Well, if they don't share the same timer, then these new abilities aren't all that bad...

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this. x.x

I don't see PUP's new JA that bad.

At the very least, it gives the melee head Mighty Strikes and the WHM head Benediction.

Edit: retracted for additional information...

No, it gives Harlequin Mighty Strikes. The head that no one uses because it is pointless.

EES is meh. Invincible will be alright for solos/duos. Benediction, is alright in a few "Oh ***" moments but in most cases your Puppet should either be fine curing you on its own or you weren't meant to be healing with it. I'm not sure if they messed with the AI to make it so Chainspell/Manafont are actually useful but if they didn't then... yea.

Wait, it would be the Harlequin (first one) with Mighty Strikes and not the actual melee head?

Ok, I retract my earlier statement.

Benediction is the "useful" one, but if you're running into a lot of oh ***moments on PUP with a WHM puppet out then you are probably having other issues too.

Dat brd.....

How did the Fly High DRG new SP ability work? Does it work with both Spirit and Soul jump? I don't expect it would work on Super Jump.

Time ago SE decide for them to not share timers, and there will be some merits to reduce timer to 30mins(not that will make any diference...) but that was the main reason to nerf embrava duration.

Dear god the BST one is awful. Just..why?

It does. It might also work on Super Jump, but Super Jump's animation is really slow and it's pointless to spam it. I never tried.

Wow so Thief gets a second aura steal... The critical hit idea was better xD and Blue eh idk could be useful in ways but not many.

edit

Also SMN one could be real useful if you have a ton of pet MAB gear and the lvl 113 sachet to go with it. Cause none stop spam of 6-8K (just making a guess here on dmg) BPs depends on mobs resistance could be pretty sweet. :)

kinda makes me want to come back :)

When did RNG get triple shot? Did I miss something?

What current bosses use 2hrs? It needs to be able to steal aura's to be useful.

Well I guess so, but time will tell. I just don't see it being all that useful myself. Just another useless JA tied to a long recast for THF.

THF and particularly RDM got blatantly ignored in this update.

I'm assuming if you have double shot active, you can proc it as well to shoot three times. Clearly an assumption since RNG doesn't have triple shot

Ok, so some of the abilities reduce recast timers, or give you higher proc rates for other abilities like double attack - but for how long?

Some of these might be useful - but only if they last a while. Knowing SE though, abilities like Fly High will only reduce the timer for the next use of Jump, and what good is that?

Last it was checked the devs intend it to be a 45sec duration buff, that lowers all jumps to 10sec cooldowns for the whole duration.
