It's the same. Insanely overloaded oGCD kit of which you will only ever use 2 or 3 at most unless you're doing ultimate. Balance-wise it brings nothing unique enough to note to a party (just like the other healers) you can clear with any healer set up.
If you're refering to the actual gameplay of the job it's identical to all other healers currently. You press 1 until you press 2 every 30 seconds. Only now there are no cards to play with since it was too hard for the limsa trannies. Instead you get worse single target versions of already existing healing cooldowns every two minutes in the form of "cards", they are so useless they quite literally go unused 90% of the time, only pressing draw every minute to get MP besides the one dps card which you hold for the 2 minute window anyways.
Pick it up if you want to play WHM but prefer pretty star vfx over pretty light vfx when you mash 1-1-1-1-1-1 for 99% of the fight.

Mostly interested on the rng aspect of it all.

Tbh, I'm kind of a sucker for Final Fantasy X, so the fact the travel lodge is a near 1-1 replica of Rin's Travel Agency sold me a bit

hm... I get that they did it but my question is why? and has WoW done this? Never really heard of a Mobile MMO...
Might be interesting to actually do the story because at about lvl 20 I just started skipping ALL cutscenes till I got to HW...

Ew, tencent. Had this been a mobile way to login to my actual game account in some limited fashion I mightve been interested. As it stands with a shady publisher behind it it'll be a shitshow for sure.

Edit: Might still be an okay timewaster since it'll have triple triad, which seems like something that should've had a proper mobile version at some point by now. As long as it's not too micro transaction heavy

So... they didn't do anything to high-blizzard high-fire? I hadn't actually looked at the patch notes, but I was wondering if BLM's obviously-broken, wholly-unintended, laughably-easy-to-fix AoE rotation had seen any changes. And it didn't.

So it's still Freeze -> Instant -> Transpose -> Flare x2 ~ Flare Star -> Instant -> Transpose, repeat. The instants are even optional; it's still an enormous gain to clip a transpose. Ridiculously clunky, ridiculously janky, and clearly not what was intended. That's two abilities that you genuinely never want to have to press outside of using HB to start enochian. It's the easiest thing in the world to fix - you just pump the potencies on High Blizzard / High Fire. And they didn't. PCT still outdamages the class with less utility by 5-10% while having more mobility.

I think it's pretty safe to say that the developers don't even play their game anymore.

Like I said there is no RNG anymore. They took away the cards because some players that didn't like AST thought it was too hard. Now you always get the same cards in the same order, with 6/8 cards being useless. They work kind of like Aetherflow on SCH now, but without the freedom of use. When you press Draw (every minute now, btw) you will always pull 1 dps card and 2 weak single target heal cards. Most times you simply press Draw to regain MP. There is 0 RNG in AST's playstyle now.

Small rant but; fuck you Reapers your edgy esthetics suck and your kit is so basic bitch made that anyone can be proficient in it with little to no knowledge. Fuck you niggers and fuck you for wasting my fucking time.

I think timing 2 shadow of death inside your enshroud to double enshroud is pretty cool. But yeah, mostly 1-2-3 like all the other melee dps

I've been hearing of and wanting to play
Battlefield Mobile
since like 2018 but its still yet to be released. I don't think very many desktop/console games that transfer over successfully to mobile outside of CoD/PUBG.

Warframe apparent kind of "just werks" on mobile, though I always hear PC players complain about them lol.

Sure, you can swap into some paradox lines for high-movement if you haven't been banking swifts and triples that does dogshit damage compared to the core rotation if you want to move around for extended periods or you for some reason don't like slidecasting. I'm lying, of course, because he's using swifts and triples to hit the B3s in that rotation. Given that you're generally primed to use swifts / triples for damage over mobility already, even just the choice to bank them for mobility segments you know about is a technical loss. Using them for B3, the move that nonstandard was designed to completely trim from the rotation, is even worse.

Meanwhile, PCT can just breeze through their normal rotation with abundant mobility without having to make any particular tradeoffs. While doing more damage. And providing more RDPS. And not having buttons they literally don't press under any circumstances.

I personally don't mind Reaper aesthetics because I like the mafia vibes of the Lemures. If you don't take the job seriously and throw on some high tempo jazz it feels pretty cool.

In Endwalker I was like, hey, a calmer DPS rotation for players to try melee, good for them. But seeing Viper take an extremely similar approach of "build up bar one -> unlock special attacks to build up bar 2 -> go super mode for 30 seconds -> repeat" has definitely made me weary of nu-melee DPS design. Stormblood still remains the high watermark.

But I mean, is it even a real DPS kit if you don't have to hit 9 different OGCDs in a 25 second burst window to achieve an average parse?
