level 4 skillchain

[Andrien]

Unless this effect would be part of a '!!' triggered by the skillchain, and not a part of the skillchain itself, it would break with the existing rules of what skillchains do.

Additionally, we can't have more than one kind of level four skillchains, because of the way they are tiered. All skillchains align with an element, and the only possible elemental combination for level four is all eight elements.

All I'm saying is skill chains already do extra dmg and allowing magic burst, so how about allowing Lv4 to do more than just looking pretty with extra damage. At Lv95 and Lv99 we might see new weapon skills along with their own element for closing skill chains. If my idea becomes reality then those weapon skills should have a certain added effect upon closing a skill chain.

EX: Tenzen weapon skills:
Oisoya --> Amatsu: Tsukikage(closing with Amatsu: Tsukikage will allow aoe terrorize) = Cosmic Elucidation.

wishful thinking..

We brought your feedback about level 4 skill chains to the development team and they responded that you are all a bunch of Tenzen wannabes. Okay, so maybe they didn’t really say that at all. They did however say that this is an awesome idea and would like to look into this for the future. Currently they are planning adjustments to the current skill chains to go along with the level cap increase to 99. After this takes place they will look in to the possibility, but keep in mind that skill chains are something that is related to every job and careful attention needs to given, even more so than individual job adjustments.

So I figured I'd bump this thread back to the top just because it was promised to be considered and I think it was just forgotten over time. :X

I really hope that if lvl 4 skillchain becomes a possibility, that it's not cosmic elucidation, and it's Ultima instead. I'd always wanted to see Ultima in some form in ffxi; whether it's as a lvl 4 SC or a team-cast spell, or it's a spell bound to a blm relic weapon.

Kind of just skimmed through the form, but thought I'd throw down a thought I had a many years ago. Always felt that relic weapons should have a special higher tier of weapon skill when one relic was to close another. I know there are things like the GK closing itself making light and all and it might contradict that. but this is just my thought. again, I just skimmed the form and not sure if anyone had mentioned it, if so, sorry for the repost.

P.s. Ultama sounds awesome.
