Duration of Maneuvers & New Animators!

[TrentWeskin]

It would really be nice if maneuvers would last a bit longer. It might be just me but having to constantly maintain maneuvers, especially if they are the same maneuvers is getting a bit daunting.

Suggestion #1: Maneuvers

Increase the duration of Maneuvers.
Duration Increase from 1:00 to 5:00.

Update 3/11/2011 : I thought it was good to put on here.

Job Ability: Burden Reactor
Recast: 5 minutes
Extends the duration of a maneuver to 5 minutes.
While Burden Reactor is active, the selected maneuver will not be over written or subject to consumption via the following attachments:
(Ice Maker, Flame Holder, Schurzen, Condenser, Economizer)

I understand that a major aspect of puppet master is maintaining your threshold and not overloading but it would be nice to put the focus elsewhere.


Suggestion #2": Magian Animator

Currently there are only 3 Animators in the game.

Animator: Level 1
Turbo Animator : Level 40
Animator +1 : Level 71

At least 50% of Puppet Masters are using the level 40 Turbo Animator, as the Animator +1 isn't exactly attainable without a descent group of dedicated people.

Listed below are some of my ideas regarding magian animators:
Each Situation would have a new Animator. I have listed two as an example.
Although it would be really awesome if they made these!.

Valoredge:

Level 85 (Sentinel Animator+1)
Automaton: -5% Phys DMG taken,
Enmity increased with each Manuever used
Enhances effects of "Repair"

Level 90 (Sentinel Animator +2)
Automaton: -7% Phys DMG taken,
Enmity increased with each Maneuver used

Upon completion of trial you will get a new WS for your Automaton:
