Do something with Modus Veritas, it's been a DECADE since Absolute Virtue

[Alhanelem]

I respectfully disagree. There are plenty of effects that do something and are of extremely speculative value. If Modus Veritas gave Signet Duration+100% that would objectively useful and more universal applicable. ....but who would want it?

Unlike your random example though, this ability is relevant to the job and is in fact tied to one of the things that is supposed to make the job special.

We're pretty far beyond SE creating new effects and abilities for jobs, in all probability the best thing we could possibly get is fixing the ability, especially given that the content that gave the need for the nerf is no longer relevant. And it's only the nerf and the damage cap that limits its usefulness, so addressing those would make it a perfectly usable ability, and with the ability working as intended, the merit category amounts to a damage buff to helixes on which the ability is used.

Either way I'd rather they improve the ability/merit category rather than just arbitrarily change it to some other random thing.
