New 2-hour Abilities

[Demon6324236]

Just because your a drk dont mean you can participate in a zerg. Through the whole abyssea series and the climb to 99, drk have been embarrassed. I have been told by ukon wars "drk melee no thanks, stun only," I even been moved from the zerg group to the backlines to stun with the blms. Drks want too zerg and not babysit a mob for tp control, the last thing i dont want to see is drk being outlawed from doing there ws's. Allow the 2hr to drain-tp on ws and no matter what you can not stop drks from zerging. This would make everyone happy

...what? You need to find some smarter people to play with I think, there is no possible reason ever that a DRK should be on the back lines stunning instead of on the front lines DDing, especially since Resolution came out.

Idiot wars who don't understand that they're only barely ahead of drk in terms of damage don't make drk any less desired for zerg damage. You need to find less stupid people to play with. At least you get fucking invites at all.

Also, apparently, they added some working names for some of the 2hours:
war: Imminent Strikes
whm: Asylum
blm: Sublte Sorcery (The typo is in game)
rdm: Encomium
pld: Righteous Guard
drk: DRK2h (read: no name yet)
bst: Feral Sacrifice (So... yea)
brd: Malinconico
rng: Instinctive Aim
sam: Yaegasumi
nin: Tengen
drg: Rouse Wyvern
smn: Astral Conduit
blu: Unbridled Wisdom
cor: Three to One
pup: Heady Artifice (... /facepalm.... you make the terrible thing worse by giving it a punny name....)
dnc: Grand Pas
sch: Caper Emissarius

If nothing else, they're good at naming stuff. The names don't make them suck any less, but most of them do sound cool.

feral sacrifice... stop white-washing and call it what it is.

CANNIBALIZE!

[Karbuncle]

Any word on when you'll finally add THF to the server? I would like to show my distaste for it as soon as possible.

Yeah no kidding, Xilk. So when is our next job ability? Maybe another chance for a good one in two years? :/

If you don't see the zerg benefit to being able to WS every 2 swings I can understand why you get moved out of the DD party. This is a solid 2 hour that not only increases DRKs damage output but carries a decent utility. The duration will probably be increased via merits and it will be even better.

[SpankWustler]

I suggest the Beastmaster 2-hour be re-named "OM NOM NOM!" and its animation and sound effects be changed to that of a Soul Trapper to imply we are producing an instragram of what we're about to eat.

WAR:
The effect is the same as Formless Strikes, but since the job is different and the special traits are different as well, it’s not like you will receive the same exact effect. We’d be happy to hear feedback on the results of WARs using this ability. In regards to wanting the ability’s effect to apply to weapon skills as well, this would make it so that it is far stronger than Mighty Strikes. As an alternative, we are extending the effect duration to open up more attack opportunities.

Unless the goal is to create an ability that deals less damage than Mighty Strikes + Tomahawk on anything with less than 90~% physical immunity, this ability should be tested more thoroughly.

Every single player is getting the same result in this case. Every player. Same result. Mighty Strikes. Tomahawk.

If a lot of monsters in the coming expansion are going to have 100% physical immunity for more than one minute at a time, I am too terrified to care about lackluster new abilities any more.

BST:
We understand that sacrificing your pet for Stoneskin results in a reduction in attack power. This Stoneskin effect is not used like the magic spell Stoneskin that you would use before entering a fight. It is something that is used in a crisis situation in order to recover and avoid emergencies (For example, if your pet is on the verge of dying and when that happens you will be put in a dangerous spot, etc.)

If I'm in a situation awful enough that there's a chance of an emergency, I have already used Familiar for the +10% HP (and 10% Haste) it provides. I'm also carrying as many Dawn Muslums as my Mog Satchel will allow, if not losing horribly is really vital to me.

I would much prefer something to help me achieve my lofty goal of "don't suck" than to help me out when I do suck.
