New 2-hour Abilities

[Siiri]

Most of the new 2-hours are compatible with the AF2+2 duration extensions, which are sometimes considerable. Smn Horn +2 doubles the duration of the new summoner 2-hour, for instance.

I was talking about DRK, which gets a 10 second boost with the relic +2. That is a joke for lack of better description.l

Blood Weapon was useful for years and is only 30 second duration. This new 2-hour lets you potentially lock TP moves for monsters during a zerg. Imagine ADL without TP moves.

during said zerg unless the mob is almost immune to SE or BW we would be shooting ourselves in the foot damagewise by using the new 2hr

Congrats on describing all new content. Plus, there may come a fight where PD and Embrava aren't enough to zerg it safely. This 2-hour is the next solution. 30 seconds of safety is worth more than doing slightly more damage.

It was kind of rubbish when Twilight Set granted that.

Not everyone can get a Twilight set so this could be still useful, also sometimes while you change to Twilight set and die, reraise effect not work

anyone who has beast leveled can probably farm enough currency to buy a twilight set in a few days.

  The same enmity properties for the player version of Invincible and Benediction will be added.
  (In cases where the head’s respective 2-hour ability will not work due to the combination of head and frame, such as a sharpshot head with a frame other than a sharpshot frame or a stormwaker head with a valoredge frame, we will be making it so Mighty Strikes is used.)

Finally, I have one request when submitting feedback. We have been seeing comments stating that “we don’t want this” and “totally remake it.” Your feedback is something we wish to utilize in our efforts to make the game better, so instead please try to be as specific as you can with how you’d like it aspects to change.

What would PUPs like to see? A SINGLE ability that benefits ALL matons, something like Revitalizer. A one-shot ability that cures the maton to full, restores all MP, gives 300% TP and removes all negative status effects. Simple, elegant, and already in the game (when opening abyssea chests with Intense Soothing Light). It allows each automaton to do what it does best, without having angry villagers chase the horrible Frankenmaton with torches, pitchforks and rude gestures.
The current 2hr ability, Overdrive, does this as well. As weak as it is (it's barely on par with a 20min ability), it still gives each automaton an edge.

It needs to be said: You'll stop seeing these comments when the content being announced stops warranting such responses. Some of these two-hour abilities really were just that poorly thought out.

When you introduce the ability to smack yourself in the face with a hammer and ask for feedback, you aren't going to get responses of "we can improve its efficiency at knocking out teeth by doing X."
No, you're going to get responses of "What is this rubbish? Scrap this entirely and give us something good instead."
I don't know why you'd expect anything else to happen.

I already did when I commented on the new PLD 2 hour, You can keep it as is, but have the mob(s) attack only the PLD for the duration of the ability. This would actually make it useful in a non solo situation.

Or you know, a reraise earring.
