Yes, OH MY F***ING GOD. o_o

Did this just make a job a virtual tank??

[Dragonhope]

Would depend on the amount of damage reduction I think. DNC/WAR ftw? o.O

[octoberasian]

Purple and white Relic! <3 ^^

[WolfwoodOfTrigunMax]

OH MY FUCKING GOD
PIIIICCCCCCTTTTTTTUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRREEEEEEEEEE OF DNC RELIC!!!!!!!!!

[WolfwoodOfTrigunMax]

Damn you beat me. >.>

[.Sotek.]

Well, this settles it, I'm leveling DNC to 75 before SCH.

[Carynaira]

omfg yay!

[octoberasian]

Would depend on the amount of damage reduction I think. DNC/WAR ftw? o.O

Not only damage reduction, but increased enmity. It's going to be interesting how DNC will work after these are in the game.

[pathwriter]

So... potentially a viable place for Dancer in late game situations? I love the job, but... yeah.

[Carynaira]

I'd love to start using my DNC endgame. I hope the new dances are party wide and not just for the DNC.

[Agana]

[WolfwoodOfTrigunMax]

[octoberasian]

*jaw drops*

[WolfwoodOfTrigunMax]

Whoa...

[Carynaira]

Yaaaaaaaaay!

And No Foot Rise = instant finishing moves! omnomnom!

[Prothescar]

I might have to level DNC to 75 now.

[shadowvincent]

I`m not sure how that one`s going to work. If they`re sticking to normal G2 merit rules there`s going to be 2 JA and 2 passive traits. No Foot Rise is presumably a trait, so I`m not sure how it`s going to work at all.

EDIT: Now I think about it, the most obvious explanation is that you have a chance of getting 5 FM from any Step, with more merits giving a higher % chance.

[Terranova]

Hmmm... Cool! Does this mean /dance5 and /dance6?

[shadowvincent]

I hope not, give me something unique for DNC 75, please.

Actually, no. Take a look at the pics, she`s just doing the standard JA animation, so we don`t even get a new dance, by the looks of it.
