very nice!!

Won't the inability to use waltzes and sambas kinda suck though? It will be great for DDing, but it seems like those dances are what make dancers so great, but I could be wrong I only have DNC leveled to 18 and haven't really partied with many.

yeah, i'm not too sure how these are going to be. no foot rise is great, though, but as for fan dance and the other one (at work so can't look at the name o9f the other one atm) i'm not sure how effective they're going to be or if they'll have a decent duration. this could be something like DRK has with soul eater and DNC kicks it on, uses it, and then kicks it off to use a samba. we'll see.

SURE!!! Let's give dancers and scholars all the best stuff and leave whm's and blm's to be crapped on. Bah humbug! Give blm's convert and whm's a lower lvl spell that restores mana like cure does hp. Increase rdm attack power.

DNCs didn't even come close to getting the best stuff so i'm not really sure what you're looking at. no foot work is just about the only--in my opinion--useful merit 2 ability for DNC, but that remains to be seen. there's so much more that SE could have--should have--done for DNC to make it more effective in parties. DNCs still don't really have a place in end-game at all. they are classified as "front line healers" which implies that they have some modicum of damage dealing ability, however, it's uber slight and while DNCs can solo a lot of mobs, it takes them FOREVER.

i'm a bit dissatisfied with the merit 2 abilities for DNC, to be brutally honest, but the AF is pretty sweet, so SE has redeemed themselves a little bit.

oh, well fine, make me feel like an ass. I <3 you Dio.
