Dispel II

[Jerbob]

To comment on Esuna, the absurd number of hoops you have to jump through before that spell will remove anything worthwhile makes it of limited use at the best of times. Being positioned next to party members (which wastes vital seconds running in during fights that matter), having the appropriate JA activated, being afflicted with the appropriate status effects yourself (which you may well resist anyway with the appropriate barspells, and may involve debilitating silence/amnesia/paralysis/addle etc)...

Of course I am not saying that RDM shouldn't have something similar, but it does demonstrate the sort of hoops that SE will put RDM through for removing multiple effects in the name of balance. Something inane like "Dispel II will remove multiple effects under Saboteur if the Red Mage is currently under the effect of the appropriate bar-status and bar-element spells matching the effects to be removed" would not surprise me.

I really like Llana's list of spell candidates, though I think they should remain RDM exclusive. WHM, and SCH in particular, don't need any (more) enfeebling spells, in my opinion. There was a nice suggestion a while ago for an enfeebling spell that added a static "waiting period" to the use of any mob TP moves that might also fit nicely.

Hmm~ a TP version of Addle wouldn't be bad, longer times to use it = easier stun, which could help alot on NMs like Morta with annoying TPs such as Full Bloom.

Also, we could get a spell I always liked in the past, Libra(Scan) which tells us the Attack, Defense, Resistances, blah blah blah, basically tells you what your up against. Libra is a SCH JA for Enmity already, so we could have a RDM spell and name it the other common name, Scan. Long cast time because you have to analyze the mob, but after, you get a list of much its info. This would also be a way to tell HP amounts on NMs that hide it, which you would not get a constant display, but rather you would be able to recast it again for more info, or updated info. I will however admit this may make more sense for SCH, but it is still an idea.

I was actually thinking more in terms of adding a delay in between the monster deciding it has "enough TP" and actually using the move, although a "TP addle" as you say would be fun too and have a similar effect. It'd be a very desirable effect for monsters that like to spam moves in quick succession.

Then it's relevance is none in this conversation.

Congratulations for being able to read or something?

Something that increases the cost of TP moves would be neat. So instead of a mob being able to TP at 100%, the spell or ability would inflict the target with an enfeeble that would not allow it to use TP unless it's at 200-300%(but the power of the move would be restricted as if it only had 100% TP). Kind of like a negative TP bonus mixed with Addle mixed with inhibit TP. So instead of a Chariot using Discharge every 100% TP, it would need 200 or 300% TP to execute it.

All sounds good other than Refrain=Amnesia and might as well be named as such lol.

[Ophannus]

Amnesia could work but make it so it only lasts until the next TP move with a 60 second recast. So instead of it blocking all TP moves for like 2-3min like mob version, make it only block one TP move(then it reduces the mob's TP to 0 and the amnesia effect wears off.) Can quickly build resistance to prevent chainspell shenanigans.

This might need a lil adjusting now that I think of it, Harpys, Ironclads, and Hahava's race(don't feel like looking it up, to tired) attack with normal attacks as AoEs from what I know, so it would need to be TPs & Magic only otherwise you would blow this on their 1st melee attack and it would be wasted ><;

Problem with them is all their melee hits count as TP's as well, so it may just end up said families it's worthless on, it working on the majority is still an increase to how or enfeebling is currently.
