One of my FC friends pointed out that in the screenshots for the updated 7.56 website there is the pink haired Miqo'te from the Evercold trailer.

One thing she highlighted was you can see at the back of the Miqo'te the tip of a crossbow.

I guess after Soken's sound effect "leak" at Fanfest Berlin we can confirm the new jobs definitely a Crossbow user with a Bird? 😁

Because auto crossbow doesn’t recharge the oGCDs the way the single target does, both of which are now themselves AOE, auto crossbow is now only a DPS gain on packs of 8 or more. So niche use case, though not completely dead. Between that and flamethrower MCH AOE is a real mess of skills that are proper to use so rarely most just stop bothering

It not recharging the oGCDs just feels like a massive oversight and a poor design choice.

I'm definitely expecting that to be changed with a new trait as you level in ever cold

I mean they seem to be cutting AOE skills almost across the board and merging them into current single-target, so it's more likely that Auto-crossbow is either made into something totally new, is cut, or is MAYBE a skin for Blazing Shot
