New 2-hour Abilities

[Theytak]

You bring PLD to zergs?

I'm more confused by the implication that a sch would be at a zerg and not have already used their 2hour. If you're zerging without embrava, but you have it at your disposal, you're doing something very, very wrong...

[FrankReynolds]

Scholars new 2hr ability: Force death on afk leechers in abyssea exp parties.

Seriously though, Would you be zerging with only one party? Or would you be wasting a SCH 2hr in every party? Because putting all of one parties hate on the "Tank" doesn't really do diddly squat in an alliance.

So thief does just get trick attack.

[Cowardlybabooon]

Maybe the trick attack version could be good if it does like 5000+ damage.

A MightyStrikes-WAR or Souleater-DRK next to you will be spamming 5000 Resolutions every five seconds in a proper zerg. I'm not even joking.

It was bad enough that most of these 2hrs seem like abilities that should have a recast of more like 5-10 minutes... but now we're told we need to choose between these or our older (in most cases superior) 2hrs? What part of this seemed like a good idea again?

I agree. They should have put the old abilities (or some of these) onto a separate timer and in many cases wayyyyyy shorter.

So here's my question, will there be more 2 hour abilities too come? Or is this it. Just kind of curious.

Dude, if this is what they believe new 2hrs should be, I don't want any more -.-

these new 2-hour abilities will share the recast timers of the original 2-hour abilities, so players can choose which one to use based on the situation.

Finally, in regards to a question about thief’s ability:
The major damage dealt will be a single attack. You can kind of think of it as the way Sneak Attack is used.

SE once again proves that they have no idea how to develop their game.
Seriously. A good portion of these 2 hour abilities are much, much worse than the original 2 hours.
Most of them are better suited for a Job Ability on a 10-20 minute timer.
I thought they were bad enough NOT sharing a cooldown...but now, lol.

Please scrap this and try again. I sincerely ask this of you.

So I read the list and all I can say is..................

THF: should be constant emnity transfer to person infront, Critical rate and damage increased, doesn't effect weaponskills.

RDM: Should be more along the lines of all self buffs become transferable to the party upon cast. Thats more i can save the party than i get a slightly stronger protect or stoneskin or phalanx or whatever you would envision "Enhance enhancement effect".

BST: Really? eat your pet? I would rather see something more along the lines of Recover Pet HP/TP and reset pet ability timers than eat my pet and attempt to save my own skin.

WHM: Should be something like high Regen Regain Phalanx and then Reraise 3 for the entire party. Embrava +2, protection from status aliments just is lackluster against Benediction. Unless it prevents instant KO, but somehow i doubt it.

SCH: This should just be changed to something else. I only see people using this to grief other players. Even if they have to be in your party, i can just see this being used to MPK people.

Thats my two cents!
