Reflect

[Sargent]

The animation has been in the dats for ages, but I would love to see this finally get implemented. However, it does seem a tad unbalanced in relation to whats already in the game, so here's my thoughts on it:

- In regards to the reflected spell being reflected onto a random mob, have it so the spell is only reflected onto the mob you are currently engaged to. This may cause an issue with mages however since they're rarely engaged.
- Also have the spell reflect only single target nukes and set the MP cost high. Maybe have it reflect a set amount of spells.

You could make Reflect low casting time, with a large recast, like Stun. Make it 100% chance to Reflect the next spell cast. Good or bad. Including spells cast by the friendly characters. That way we are forced to strategize when to use it, like Stun.

If you feel certain spells, like Death might be a bit overpowered to Reflect make them be able to go through Reflect.

What would end up happening it it would just stop the Death spell and the NM would resist it... NMs pretty much are auto-immune as is.

That would work too, even if the mob resists it. It would be another away to protect a tank from Death going off.

it should probably just ignore friendly spells. it may not be fully in the spirit of "reflect" but it'd make it a hell of a lot more useable.


i'm thinking it should be single target and influenced by enhancing skill to give between 1 and 3 reflects.
something along the lines of any jagoff rdm, sch, or whm should be able to get 1 reflect.
properly skilled up rdm and sch would get 2, while whm would need to be skilled up and geared for the second.
then 3 would only be possible from well geared and skilled sch or rdm. maybe make 3 require the full blown 500 enhancing skill.

then carbuncle could get an aoe effect, but limited to just 1.

Sadly if by chance Red Mage does get this, It will not fix the Job Class.

BLM>RDM>SCH

elaborate on this blanket statement please

SMN and RDM should get it imo.

Ok, well back in the day RDM was known for refresh A.k.a The refresh-whore if by chance RDM does get Reflect it will not make or break the Job.. RDM needs more then Reflect-whore, Just seems like a lot "Not all" Thinking this spell and or ability whatever it is going to be going to fix RDM. Me personally don't think it's really needed fun yeah! but not needed.. Also it's not going to help RDM any. Yeah it's pretty cool seeing this might finally come to FFXI but that's about it, If anything I bet PUP automaton will get it then we all wait for RDM to get Reflect II.

SMN and RDM should get it imo.

I'd put SCH on the list if only because then it means we don't have to fight to get it put onto Accession.

And for Altana's sake, let it be party castable else it'll just be worthless.
