    Amidst all the doomposting about monk and their rotation changes, it's good to see someone who's excited about them all. I'm cautiously optimistic as well but holding everything till we get more info on skills, however I'm really glad someone's broken the mold and provides some positivity for a change.
    I mean, I didn't even register the upgraded skills until I just rewatched it now. They do look really nice.

      Which is funny, because during the live letter afterwards they actually explained what is happening. Instead of managing buff timers instead using one action empowers the others. From looking at the new gauge, it seems that dragonkick empowers your next bootshine, one of the raptor actions (probably twin snakes) empowers your next 2 true strikes, and demolish (instead of being a dot) empowers your next 3 snap punches. It's possible that these "empowered" charges work for any action for the associated stances, hard to say as we didn't see it (but let's be honest, you'll always want to empower the strongest action for each stance).
      Overall, the rotation probably isn't changing all that much, they're just switching from getting buffs with timers to a gauge. ie you already want to alternate dragonkick and bootshine due to leaden fist, but now you don't have to worry about leaden fist expiring if you don't use it in time because it's stored in the gauge. Likewise, you'd generally use twin snakes every 3rd cycle to maintain the dmg buff, now instead of it being a general dmg buff it's now just a direct buff to your next 2 true strikes, and since it's no longer a buff you don't need to worry about it falling off when doing PB stuff or when the boss goes untargetable.
      I know some people like this type of micromanagement and needing to figure out how to adjust to compensate on the fly, and so may not like that the bonus effects of these actions now last until used instead of having time limits to manage....but honestly this just seems like a more reasonable design (assuming these interpretations are accurate).

      @nanopsychic 6 місяців тому +5

      @@phiefer3 I will say I *did* like the micromanagement it had, but like I will agree it's not the most complicated nor important thing. I am just a tad concerned cause like, I personally didn't find it difficult managing that before, and I felt that it was flexible enough to work around. The rotation looks like it won't be as interrupted this time around and will be consistent, but it also just looks a tad stricter in return and less freeform. Again, we don't have all the information, so maybe that won't be the case and it'll be largely the same as before, or even feel nicer.
      I get people being kinda anxious about what this means. I just don't think it's reasonable that people think the job is completely and utterly ruined now. But apparently that happens every expac, so lol.

I dunno how far of a stretch this next part would be, but what if it scales on how many chakra you spend on it?

    Resulting in a 72 GCD rotation for 1 full loop to empty the whole gauge again.
    Each riddle getting a follow-up move. Earth probably a heal, wind and fire ranged attacks.

    I had to search for Monk reaction in Dawntrail because it seemed like alot of reactors overlooked it. Monk is my favorite class for sure but I always felt it lacked a bit of oomf. I just felt so basic when hitting my PB rotations to get my big hitters off. Now they seemed to add some much need flare to those rotations. Dawntrail is looking to bring FF14 back into the spotlight cuz sheesh. I haven't been this excited for an expansion since Shadow Bringers.

    So let me explain what happened:
    Dragon Kick gives 1 pink ball, Twin Snakes gives 2 purple balls and Demolish gives 3 blue balls, meanwhile Bootshine consumes 1 pink ball, True Strike consumes 1 purple ball and Snap Punche consumes 1 blue ball. I'm assuming that consuming the ball enhances the damage, so what they're doing is changing the rotation from 2-2-3 to 2-3-4. This will further extend the loop rotation.

    • @warkiller
      @warkiller 6 місяців тому +2

      Hype for SMN's new abilities seem to follow a curious trend when you look back on it.
      Back when we had the Stormblood Job Trailer, SMN players got hyped HARD upon seeing Bahamut being summoned.
      Then in the Shadowbringers Job Trailer, the overall reaction for the Phoenix summon were pleased, but nowhere near as hyped.
      And then in Endwalker...SMN mains just went crazy on hype once more when they saw their new summons...
      And now in Dawntrail, the hype is once again on the milder side for SMNs.
      As a SMN main, my main thing I think about the new stuff is that I'm curious about those new abilities that were shown. As for Solar Bahamut...that one honestly kinda comes out of nowhere in my opinion. Unless there's going to be something about that in the Dawntrail MSQ that will help explain it?
      And to be fair, I think everyone thought we'd get the other 3 ARR primals in the rotation, so we just all got bamboozled on that.
      I do wonder why this 'Solar Bahamut' and not another notable primal like Alexander, Thordan or Shinryu. Alexander is another iconic one, though with him being part of an optional raid, he could be 'missed' by some players that don't do the side content. Thordan and Shinryu on the other hand are part of the MSQ, so missing them is impossible.
      Summoning a Demi-Zodiark or Demi-Hydaelyn would have been completely absurd though.

      @@MyVanir They actually did show some new things. Right after Searing Light is used, the SMN uses some sort of new AOE attack which might look like Slipstream but it can't be the case since Garuda wasn't called in yet.
      And then after Solar Bahamut goes away, the SMN uses some sort of new ability as well.
      That along with the enhanced Fester shows a total of 4 new abilities(if you count Solar Bahamut).
      So bottom line is, the fact that DT SMN doesn't seem to show that many new amazing things compared to EW SMN confirms the trend we saw when comparing SB SMN's reveal vs the ShB SMN.
      Also let's not forget that despite looking underwhelming in Job Action trailers, a job can actually be a lot more awesome when it looks like. Just look at EW Scholar who really didn't seem amazing when the only 'amazing' thing was a move to make you run faster.
