PLD has its fair share of self buffing to do. You included pro/shell in run buffs so its only fair to include them in PLD, phalanx,crusade,enlight and reprisal.
Not disagreeing, and if it's a fight you know well, you might even know the ideal time to cast stonekin, but there are very few fights that open hard and need stoneskin at the start.
On top of that, stoneskin has a long duration anyway and is consumed quickly, it probably doesn't need to be recast even if someone did forget a trib.
Spikes are hit or miss. They're not reliable at all but it is nice when they do proc.
Regardless, I fail to see the harm in general in enhancing the duration on all buffing magic that has a recast lower than it's duration. I get not changing Reprisal, or Dread Spikes, or any Unbridled Spell's duration, afterall, these are meant to be duration limited buffs.
But any other spell you find yourself recasting all the time: Crusade, Foil, Phalanx, Temper, Refresh, Barspells, Cocoon, Nature's Meditation, Spikes, Barspells, Boost-Stat, Auspice, Regen, Aquaveil, I see no harm whatsoever in increasing the duration on.
Yes, technically it makes you more efficient as you can melee/whatever during the time you would've been reapplying, but I highly doubt it would seriously imbalance anything, and it would be one heck of a lot less annoying as a quality of life issue. I'm all for it.
I do agree though, there's not much point to increasing the duration on Shadows or Stoneskin, unless you up the stoneskin amount, which, would be nice but not necessary.
Suggestion: Give MNK/SAM/NIN a job trait that has a chance on hit to inhibit mob TP gain. It would also need to stop innate regain when it procs.
It would help with TP move spam via a mechanic you can adjust as needed, and it would give people a reason to take said jobs to content. Other than MNK, I think SAM and NIN just need a tiny bump to become viable in the current BLU everything meta.
I approve but it will never happen because it would make THF too competitive with DNC and DNC is to THF what RUN is to RDM i.e. in SE's mind DNC is what we always wanted THF to be.
RNG is so broken and useless now that it can't be saved anyway so sure, why not? Might as well put that final nail in the coffin and just grey it out.
