If they reduced the size of the damned thing, it would be MUCH better. Hell, if they took out some animations, it would make the changes more appealing. Like, i don't know, take out the stupid "Summon an energy being" thing; if you took out that part of the animation, it would look so much better than having the energy being obstruct your character every time. It just looks so tacky and weird.
This.
Sometimes simplicity is better, it's more appealing to just have a few effects come out of your body, instead of summoning little burning farts that fight for you. Transformation was cool because YOU were on fire, summoning a shiny fire thing to fight for you = not cool. I'd play my Blaze Wizard if I wanted that.
That, and I don't like the tornado attack one bit, it's a blatant copy of Cannoneer's rolling barrel skill. But not like it's very important, as you won't use it past 2nd job.
Still... the closest to a brawling skill that brawlers have is summoning the orange guy to do the new fist barrage, which is kinda meh... I think the tacky part of it is having the spirit launch itself at the mobs like some kamikaze fire, which looks just out of place. If they want to do something like that right, just make a little animation of your character transforming for half a second while you cast barrage or the new energy wave, as if your character powered up for a spare second and went back to normal after the skill is casted. I think this is what they indended originally, but changed into something completely different... and doesn't work. For example, that new energy wave is a lot less impressive knowing you're not the one firing it. I can fire my own kamehamehas thank you very much.
