you asked for it

DRK - Crimson Weapon: all pt members in area of effect get the effects of soul eater and blood weapon that are actively even during weaaponskills

RNG - Arrow Storm : while active all ranged attacks can hit multiple targets in area of effect.

PLD - Holy Emblem : a super charged version of Shield bash projectile but is not physical nor magic attack based does damage( in hundreds normally) based on character attributes.

This is a good idea, some ideas DRG: all jump recast timers are reset, jumps have additional effects, Wyvern transforms into a wyrm with all standard Wyrm abilities (all pet commands), duration 1min, (if Spike flail is used the ability is automatically ended

SCH: Crimson Grimore: Gain access to both addenda, Gain access to Crimson Grimore only spells (no need to buy) All stratagems take effect with no charges used except Accenssion and Manifestation. Duration 2mins.

COR: Phantom roll has no recast, can have more rolls in effect (possibly 4 or 5) impossible to bust while effect is active, unlimited Quick Draw charges.

Could only think of name for sch, i really want that crimson grimore lol

I think we can all look at Krabnuckle's post as an example of not reeling it in. The Corsair one would be pretty interesting while soloing lol.

I seriously laughed out loud.

I just

I love you guys so much. in a Totally Manly way. No one better say you guys don't read threads anymore.

On blue mage I would like my original 2hour addressed before getting a second. I know azure lore CAN work but the duration is so short you have to be sure you have tp built and your chain or burst affinity timers are ready. After all that you are put in triple jeopardy if paralyzed as your 2hour, chain affinity, or the spell could each be affected. Is there any other job that risks being paralyzed three times just to use their 2hour?
If we did get a new one after azure lore is brought in line I could see fastcast and large conserve mp bonuses for a maybe 2 minutes being very useful as an alternate 2hour, even if it is a bit dull.

Silly Krabnuckle you are not a Krab you are a Karb You don't even have Knuckles. (meme ftw)


(should see the backstory here: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/th...8Woo!%29/page4)

Also i Can Totally admit my ideas are out there :P but some of them are pretty good ! The MNK one isn't too broken :O

Krabnuckle made some awesome sugguestions! However I do disagree on two points. For paladins, the offensive stat boost seems a little wasted. Maybe doubling effect of divine and healing powers specifically + that holding hate? Also, for SCH. Sadly you pretty much described what the current SCH 2hour SHOULD do. According to the ability's description, "Optimizes both white and black magic capabilities while allowing charge-free stratagem use" This promotes SCH's ability to use stratagems, but we are still restricted to the Art that we are currently in. There are a few sets of abilities that would promote SCH a little more.

Absolute Knowledge - Allows access to both addenda and stratagems, increases all magic skills to the A+ level, and stratagems once activated are constantly on/Toggleable. 1min. duration (always having them all on at once can cause problems with Manafestation and Accession)

Focal Concentration - Increases Magic skills of the active Art to the A+ level, stratagem effects are enhanced (x1.5 or x2), and once activated are constantly on/Toggleable. 1min. duration

Crimson Grimore - Allows access to both addenda and stratagems, stratagem effects once activated are constantly on/Toggleable. Party members recieve combat bonuses (Accuracy/Attack/MagicAccuracy/magicAttack/Haste) in exchange for HP*. 1min. duration

*Either 10 hp per tick for the players, or 5hp per tick per member on the user. Unsure which I prefer.

These are individual sugguestions, not the sugguestion of all 3 at once

Yah, I'm not a good SCH I couldn't think of a good Buff for them. Yours is wonderful.

the Paladin Ability also has "Paladin Cannot Lose hate for Duration" So it has some Impact in a way of "Absolute Enmity" for the Duration. The 2hour also Enhances Enlight and such
