I'll let SE add drawbacks, if any are needed.
Very few of our current 2hrs have drawbacks that I'm aware of:
Ninja (dead, can be used strategically to be a bonus)
Dragoon (lose wyvern, but the call wyvern timer could be up when they use it, and call it right back)
A few others give a large amount of enmity based on their actions, but that can't really be called a drawback.

Blue Mage 72 Hour ability: Immortal Lore: Access to ancient blue magic long forgotton: Dischord Grand Train Aqua Breath Quasar Force Field Rippler Mighty Guard Step Mine Pearl Wind Matra Magic (Under the effect of Immortal Lore all attributes are enhance by 5 and the Job Trait: Azure Guard: Occasionally enemies blue spells have no effect on you.)

Important thing to remember is one of its major drawbacks is it can only be used once ever 2 hours. Its because of this that most people see 2hrs as a OH S#!% button. Its best to think of what all the positives it should do first, then have SE decide whether or not they should have another drawback on top of the 2 hour cooldown.

Puppetmaster: Curtain Call

Duration: 00:05:00

On activation, the player's automaton disappears (with no reset of Activate timer even if automaton is at 100% HP) and a percentage of its HP and MP are transferred to the master. For the duration, the master is given access to the abilities of the automaton's frame/head combination, including weapon skills, magic spells, and abilities/traits granted via attachments. Player may continue to use Maneuvers (and gain stats/increase the power of related attachments) without any cooldown timer - however, Overloading immediately ends the two-hour effect.

Paladin: Altana's Beacon

Duration: 00:01:00

This ability requires the Paladin to target a single enemy. All other player enmity is wiped on that target, and only the Paladin may build enmity. Paladin is given a flat -10% damage taken bonus (stacks with gear, can go beyond 50% cap) and every successful shield block gives the Paladin an extra -5% damage taken bonus and an additional 15 seconds of ability time (caps at -50% damage taken and +120 seconds of bonus time.)

Dark Knight: Contract From Below

Duration: 00:02:00

Upon activation, all damage dealt and damage taken by the Dark Knight will be an automatic critical hit.

Bard: Cacophony

Duration: 00:03:00

The Bard gains an Aura that inflicts Attack Down, Defense Down, Magic Accuracy Down, and Magic Evasion Down on all claimed targets within area of effect. Aura effect builds in intensity over time in a similar manner to Avatar's Favor.

Monk 2hr V2: Chuck - Kick attack 100% delay 0 for 30 seconds.

No, It needs a cooler name. How about Promathia's Bane ?

Milord Promathia would never off such weak power to a Dark Knight. Its like Mighty Strikes except it nerfs you too.

a Contract with Milord would be no less than A combo of Hundred Fists, Mighty Strikes, and Blood Weapon.

i actually think the name "Contract from Below" is pretty cool.

I was unaware Overdrive gave the effect of 3x Maneuver to all Attachments making them all work at Full power.


nowait, It doesn't. It allows you to use unlimited Man. but theres still a max of 3. On top of that it just enhances acc/atk/etc, Doesn't Bring all Attachments to their full-Manuever power. (This is obvious when using Attachments like Coiler).

Unless wiki is wrong and my Automaton just doesn't like maximizing Coiler :(
