Replacing CoolDown?

[Tetsujin]

So it seems that most everyone's come to a conclusion that Cool Down is relatively useless, save for using it upon activation.

My humble suggestion to the devs is Job Trait replacement.
This Job trait would start at level 30 or 40 maybe and scale up (I / II / III etc)

Effect: Lowers the amount of default Burden automatons spawn/zone with.
and/or
Effect: Increases rate of Burden decay
and/or
Effect: Decreases duration of Overload



I know the topic that bounces is around is that "PUPs don't need to worry about overload" but since the Devs were so set on adding this, I figure a more useful, applicable replacement made sense.

Sincerely, Please read my posts devs. (lookin at you Camate <3)

thing is cooldown is a great JA, but not at 95, at 30 it would have been great.

[Tetsujin]

agreed. either way, it's clear that at its current level, a change is necessary. Either change it or drop it to a more base-level, or even both.

Also, this JA shows that its possible to make a job ability erase Overload. Why not make our Two Hour do the same? C'mon.

Cooldown -> Overdrive. Problem solved.

Instead of replacing cool down or getting rid of it, why not make it reset attachment Job abilities, but still have the overload reduction... Also a 5 minute recast time would be good. With all that you could do back to back Strobes/Replicators/Heat capacitors, or just reset Job abilities when you first spawn your pet since there is a "Cool Down" on job abilities for the first 2 minutes.

how about giving us a new, better 2hour while they're at it?

Cooldown is like our 2 hr.. useless @ 95.

I cant even make myself overload to use cool down...I think Cooldown should be changed to a level 30 or lower job ability.

I wanna test it but at the same time i know i will never use it.. EVER

Based on player feedback, the recast time for Cooldown has been lowered from 10 minuted to 5 minutes. (3 minutes would be a bit too much...)

[Alhanelem]

Easily obtainable gear to counter overload possibility severly diminishes the usefulness of the ability with any recast. It would be much more useful at lower levels, as mentioned by many others, or perhaps if it applied a more lingering effect.

Basically, we barely need this ability at all in its current state. It doesn't really matter what the recast is.

Shinron's idea of making Cooldown reset JA attachments is really good, though I'd like it if it did spell recast instead. For those "Remove Para, you stupid puppet, not silence, I'm /war you idiot" moments.

Sadly it's looking more and more like Cooldown is going to be our Footwork.
