I wanted to burn an Aran but saw a lot of doomposting about a rework for the class. I wanted a fun, fluid class with a lot of skill expression and gameplay that is not brain numbing. I was under the impression current Aran is that. Will new Aran change anything about that (e.g. dumbing down mechanics, boring gameplay, etc). If new Aran does not fit my criteria, do you have suggestions for a class that does?
Thankfully, many of the existing unique aspects of Aran will remain after the remaster. We retain all of our current mobility (we even see some minor improvements with the remaster), and all relevant command inputs remain the same. I would say that post-remaster Aran still fulfills your criteria of fun, fluid and offering skill expression. However, certain things were definitely "dumbed down", but in my opinion, not necessarily in a bad way. Our burst has been simplified--namely by them getting rid of our middle-loaded burst and double Adrenalines--as these are not very intuitive. The change that impacts Aran gameplay most significantly is the nerfs to Adrenaline. Current Adrenaline grants you a powerful buff which encourages aggressive play for the entirety of its duration to maximize your damage. Post-remaster Adrenaline no longer gives you increased damage or lines, and simply acts as a gatekeeper which gives you access to your single-use Finisher skills, which is where the bulk of our damage now lies. Aran players are no longer encouraged to pump out as much damage as possible for that 20/40 second Adrenaline window, but rather to ensure that you use and land all your Finishers with each Adrenaline. Our Origin skill has also been changed to a more typical, one-part attack that simply auto activates your 3 minute burst, instead of the unique two-part attack we have currently. Somewhat aggressive play is still necessary in order to maintain combos, and the base damage on our attacks have been increased to compensate for the loss of Adrenaline's damage. This compensation is not nearly enough, though, and Aran will be significantly weaker after the remaster in addition to becoming more burst oriented rather than the burst/DPM hybrid class that we currently are. TL;DR I think some of Aran's features that make the class unique still exist, but the change to damage structure is significant and will impact how the class feels to play in boss fights. I think the skill ceiling has been lowered, and the floor has also been raised. I also believe that players can still have fun with the excellent mobility options and skill expression, but the playstyle will become quite different from what it currently is. If you are fine with the severe drop in damage and the changes to playstyle that I mentioned above, I would recommend waiting it out and seeing how you like the class once the remaster is here.
