New ideas for v2 Two - Hour abilities.

[Merton9999]

I like the idea of additional 2 hours and a lot of the examples on here. One common element for the WHM ideas is removing weakness, of course. I was always hoping for WHM 95-99 to get the spell Revivessence (sp?), which I believe is cast by Ferrous Coffin in Campaign, and removes weakness on the target party member. It may seem overpowered to allow this as a standard learnable spell instead of a 2 hour, but there are easy ways to mitigate that, like a long recast timer, long casting time, large MP cost, etc.

For the new WHM 2-24 hour ability, I'd like to see a Benediction + revive dead members and remove weakness. I just wouldn't want the weakness removal limited to only this ability.

Puppetmaster: Curtain Call

Duration: 00:05:00

On activation, the player's automaton disappears (with no reset of Activate timer even if automaton is at 100% HP) and a percentage of its HP and MP are transferred to the master. For the duration, the master is given access to the abilities of the automaton's frame/head combination, including weapon skills, magic spells, and abilities/traits granted via attachments. Player may continue to use Maneuvers (and gain stats/increase the power of related attachments) without any cooldown timer - however, Overloading immediately ends the two-hour effect.

Paladin: Altana's Beacon

Duration: 00:01:00

This ability requires the Paladin to target a single enemy. All other player enmity is wiped on that target, and only the Paladin may build enmity. Paladin is given a flat -10% damage taken bonus (stacks with gear, can go beyond 50% cap) and every successful shield block gives the Paladin an extra -5% damage taken bonus and an additional 15 seconds of ability time (caps at -50% damage taken and +120 seconds of bonus time.)

Dark Knight: Contract From Below

Duration: 00:02:00

Upon activation, all damage dealt and damage taken by the Dark Knight will be an automatic critical hit.

Bard: Cacophony

Duration: 00:03:00

The Bard gains an Aura that inflicts Attack Down, Defense Down, Magic Accuracy Down, and Magic Evasion Down on all claimed targets within area of effect. Aura effect builds in intensity over time in a similar manner to Avatar's Favor.

me likey the pup one c.c i dont think the pld one needs to have a dmg cap of 50% though. i think 90% would be fine, because it only lasts for 2 minutes tops, and may not even get that high depending on the shield skill and type the pld wields. maybe cut the effect boost down to like 2.5% per block so paladins with aegis or ochain don't get the 90% right off the bat.

I was unaware Overdrive gave the effect of 3x Maneuver to all Attachments making them all work at Full power.


nowait, It doesn't. It allows you to use unlimited Man. but theres still a max of 3. On top of that it just enhances acc/atk/etc, Doesn't Bring all Attachments to their full-Manuever power. (This is obvious when using Attachments like Coiler).

Unless wiki is wrong and my Automaton just doesn't like maximizing Coiler

you didn't specifiy that it would be the effect of 3 of every maneuver. i just thought "attachments work at full power" just sounds a lot like the overdrive description. the only decent thing about overdrive in my opinion though is that it makes valoredge attack so fast with 3 wind maneuvers and turbo charger. unfortunately valoredge is so poorly imbued in the weaponskill dept. outside the use of bonecrusher in abyssea with crit atmas. (i haven't tried it yet, nobody flame my post if it's still not that strong. lol.)

Ah, Well, By "Attachments work at full power" I meant of course "Each Attachment works like there was 3x Matching Manuever" for it

Which I thought would be badass >.>

Monk 2hr V2: Chuck - Kick attack 100% delay 0 for 30 seconds.

Lol, infinite kicks? I like that.

[Karbuncle]

Lol, infinite kicks? I like that.

I think its funny, cause technically, with 0 Delay, anything you engage would simply Die the second you swung. Cause you would create an infinite loop of attacks.

I think it would be funny that, In some cases, the mob would likely "Die-Spawn (Dissapear)" before you even finished swinging :P

Well BLMs are supposed to be getting Meteor....

And SMN's were supposed to get new avatars in 2006 and then again in 2007 and wait 2008 and 2009..... :P

[Daniel_Hatcher]

True, but I believe Meteor is a Dark elemental spell. Also, something that isn't AoE would likely be better, depending on the situation.

Isn't it comet that is Dark Based, whereas Meteor in non-elemental.

searched a litle on BG found : (post by Virtuous Saint)

they aren't non-elemental, they are dark. I resisted both KB's meteors and AV's with a dark elemental build of around 200, granted I only got a few resists against AV, but if you had best possible you could likely resist with decent frequency. The thing about having a dark element build is obviously you can't have much, if any -MDT +MDB gear if you want to resist with any noticeable frequency so if you don't resist you are very likely dead, unless it is a non-manafonted, non-bracelets meteor, e.g. 60-79%HP.

No, I understand the confusion with Meteor, and obviously I'm not saying it is just dark based, but I am 100% sure that dark elemental build can resist Meteor from both KB and AV, as I tested it personally. I have no more info about Meteor's element than it is resisted by dark resistance gear, it could be multiple.. light+dark, idk, I haven't tested other elemental builds against it.
