Although idea 1 does give more flexibility to usage timing, you get more effect overall with idea 2, and as someone else pointed out, although the impact in this case would be small, using JAs less often means less interruption to melee attacks.

Idea #2 and please link their recasts so we can have more JAs.

Actually I'd rather just see the two abilities merged.

As a man with a very odd fetish once said, I prefer number two!

They're already situational abilities, so being more affected by death and dispel wouldn't make them that much more situational. It's pretty rare to encounter something that is both the right type of monster AND very frequently uses Dispel.

The only advantage I can think of for number one is that you could use Sepulcher and the like on a higher number of weak enemies. Their defense-oriented effects are much more useful on harder enemies, however, so it doesn't seem like much of a plus.

Maybe start a poll?

My preference is #2 - there's not much of a difference between 3 and 5 minutes.

Number 2.

Option 2 allows 2 Drgs/Sams/Plds/whatever to fulltime the effect for their party.

We are currently planning adjustments to the effect duration and recast timers of circle-type job abilities (Holy Circle/Arcane Circle/Ancient Circle/Warding Circle) as well as Sepulcher/Arcane Crest/Dragon Breaker so that they can be used more frequently.

Below are 2 ideas we are looking into:

1. Effect duration 1 min. / Recast time 3 min.
2. Effect duration 3 min. / Recast time 5 min.

For idea #1, while the effect duration is not changed, the abilities can be used quite frequently.
For idea #2, while the effect duration becomes longer, if the effect is dispelled or via other means, you will have to wait longer than idea #1.

Please let us know your feedback on these two ideas.

I vote for Option 2.
