Raise dance

DNC is not ment to be a "main healer" at all, they are a "front line backup healer" among many other things; whm is the only job that was ment to be a "main healer" of any sorts (all others are backup healers). A raise dance would be...interesting however, but not likely to happen.

I don't think DNC needs another dance category. What they could do is make it while under haste samba you also get a regain, drain samba you get Regen and under aspir samba you get refresh just while you are attacking.

Its just an idea since dnc already has alot of abilities, all it could take is a couple small adjustments like that could make the DNC job look more desirable.

I COULD see a full parry mode dance, with a Riposte possibility (think counter). This is not incompatible with dancer's role as evidenced by our Closed Stance merits. On the other hand, I could just /mnk...

If you're really needing to scratch that itch, just sub whm. I am not bashing you or anything, it's actually a pretty decent combo for battlefield support. My main duo partner, before abyssea and we needed magic triggers, would sub whm to her dnc. If you got a very stable duo partner, give it a try.

But as far as natively possessing raise? I think it's a little much.

I'd be more inclined to request a "Reraise Waltz" of some sort that only lasted a short while(the effect before death, not after). Something like the bard reraise song, where you can see the fight going south, and you just pop that off at the last second, it's instant, and it saves you the headache of being raised.

Raise Jig would be awesome. :)

I concur, I think a "Last Dance" which you can toss down at the last second, and gives you reraise for 10-30 seconds would create an interresting dynamic. Give it a 20 minute recast cooldown.

"Pheonix Waltz" would be an awesome name.

150%TP Would be fine for me to raise

Pheonix Waltz, I like the sound of that.

It sounds nice as many Dnc have wanted it for a while but don't forget lv 99 cap we also get a new form of merit system so maybe a good idea if it was in there some were same as some form of dispel and also some form of resist amnisia would be nice to have.

A lack of a Raise dance has always frustrated me as a leader. Once a Dancer has built up TP, he is able to keep an entire (sometimes an entire alliance) alive single-handedly. Getting both a White Mage and a Dancer is just plain redundant, when one only has so many party slots to work with. With only 6 slots, one cannot have a white mage in the party when their only vital function is to raise. What good is a light DD that can Cure, but cannot Raise?

As for Dispel, I support it as well. It just "feels like" this is something Dancer should be able to do.

I would love to see both a dispel and raise/reraise ability added to DNC. DNC is my main DD job and SCH my main mage job. I feel worthless when I can't assist in raises when there maybe at the time only a couple ppl in an alliance able to raise. Yeah, Apoc is nice in abyssea, one I'd love to have, but more often than not not many people have that atma yet in abyssea. Now in dynamis areas, it'd be helpful there as well.
