New 2-hour Abilities

Since resetting the cool down timers for both current and new special abilities at the same time when rolling either a 5 or 6 would be a pretty big bonus, we are looking into making it so that cool down timers for both abilities will only be reset at the same time when rolling a 6.

I would like to know if you mean just the new ones are reset with a 6 or if this includes the original 2 hours also. You guys need to be a bit more clear when talking about things you are changing.

It sounds like he's saying you only get a double-reset for both SPs if you roll a 6, and 5 will reset a single one. Dunno if it just picks at random or what.

Correct. Rolling a 5 would reset the current special ability cool down timer, and rolling a 6 would reset the cool down timers for both current and new special abilities. We are not taking anything away from Wild Card, we are only factoring in the new special abilities.

Excellent! This is much better.

Thank you for clarifying.

What about giving corsairs bounty shot? If anyone is a dirty, rotten, thieving scoundrel it should be a corsair.

So the jobs whose current 2hr is useless and will only ever use the new 2hr only have a 1/6 chance of getting a reset instead of 2/6 for jobs that use the current 2hr only?

How about a 5 will reset one of the two at random (so if you've only used one a 5 will reset it regardless if its the current or new 2hr) And the 6 will reset both?

Future content will be based around only using jobs whose new and old 2 hours are both useful, so it's irrelevant.

WAR, SMN and SAM are in, DRG, BLU and RNG are out, DRK likely in, but can't remember what their new JA is or if it's even been clarified.
