Suggestion: Make /heal command to Reduce Weakness Time

[DangerousCalled]

thank you all for comments

Not happening. If you're weakened, you're supposed to be /healing. Zombieing is not supposed to be a tactic, hence double weakness.

not really , most of my time if I got weakness status I don't rest unless my MP below 40 MP as mage (even as mage I just use refresh or any method to recover my mp w/o healing)

and about Zombieng tactic , I aggre about what Arcon said:

This has absolutely zero to do with the ability to zombie-fight mobs. Even when you're not trying to fight weakened, are you really /healing? Very few jobs have any need at all to rest these days.

at last Zombieng tactic need to die every min or less , resting for 3 min I think this out plan of zombieng & in 3 min the Mob got over half HP return (thats if not full also).

But if they did that, they'd have to 'balance' it by making a new double-weakened state where you're stuck in weakened state for 10 minutes, have 1hp, and 0 accuracy.

about weakened 10 min , this 1 happen once u re zone Dynims ( old version )
but idk is this still happning

Great suggestion. Make /heal recover from weakened twice as fast as if not /heal. That would be 2.5 mins for normal raise and 1.5 mins if you were raised with arise. Or pick some other rate but faster is good.

I hope dev team read about it & give me an answer

MMO's are about player involvement, taking a player out of the action for 5min isn't good for gameplay. FFXI needs to follow other MMO's and introduce a tiered stacking weakness state.

First time killed = -25% to HP / MP and -25% to all stats, lasts 3min.
Second time killed = -50% HP / MP -50% to all stats, lasts 3min.
Third time killed = -75% HP / MP -75% to all stats, lasts 3min.
Fourth time killed = -90% HP / MP -90% to all stats, lasts 3min. Last stage of weakness

Each time killed resets the 3min timer and increase's the penalty. This way you can afford to die once without being totally out of commission for the next 5min. Yet if you persist and keep dieing you'll get weaker and weaker until your completely useless. This behooves you to try not to die / zombie yet also allows the players wiggle room for BS like doom / Instant Death / massive aoe's.

Yeah god forbid they are going to start nerfing the beastmaster pet and avatar when you summon them on your "weakened" state... The 5 mnts cool down is ARCHAIC, OLD, and should be revised. This is 2012, over 10 years since the game first released. 3 mnts weakened state is more than plenty as punishment. Imagine if you are playing FF13 and you got punished with 5 mnts weakened state whenever the screen is "game over" or one of your party member died during the battle, yeah that will go over very well with the players.

PMSL You're really going to compare a MMO with a Single Player game where the characters are crazy over-powered.

I like the idea of keeping it simple- healing while weak reducing the amount of time weakened. Keep everything else the same, double weak, etc.

No it isn't. The only way to trigger the 10 minute weakness was to exit the zone and re-enter. Now there is no re-entry.

Honestly, I've only really seen that in FFXIV. Most MMO's have a 10 minute weakness if you straight up rez in a "retreating" way. In WoW it's 10 min sickness if you don't run back to your body. LOTRO gives some penalties each time I guess. But I'd rather not have a system from XIV implemented in XI. We all know how that game is going <_< until 2.0 at least where it might be worthwhile we'll see.

Anyway, I'd love to see something like OP implemented, I do still /heal when weakened just out of habit from how things used to be. Faster I'm unweakened the faster I'll be....useful.
