Future Job Abilities, what do you want?

blm .....BURST , they are lacking a aoe thunder spell ....only castable under thundercloud proc :D

whm .....reraise as mikecoby said

warrior , double attack trait! random chance of making an attack double :3

paladin , holy seal , a debuff on the boss that make every1 that hit it heal himself

Sch , a instant galvanize bubble on tank for 400 potency that refresh itself when target takes dmg , 15s duration 1 min CD

dragoon , a buff that make every attack pierce throw enemies and make attacks a cone attack

mnk , chi blast ! they need a rng attack , chi blast give the mnk a way to keep the stacks going on from away

smn , a 10s cd that forces the pet to use an attack , smn need more attacks like enkindle

brd , a regen hp song ? or a song that boost potency of the party (that would be a bit op i guess)?

SMN: Hmm, having multiple summons at the expense of mp doesn't seem overly useful, but having a trait or an abilty that makes your pet takes hit for you (basically pld cover) seems cool, and could make titan egi moderately more useful lol.


SCH: I think an ability that I think would be cool is a Tether between your active fairy and a party member of your choosing. The fairy gives a regen effect and a buff to the person it's tethered with. Selene could have a lower Regen, but a higher buff, and Eos could have higher regen and a slightly different buff.

BRD
Song of Sleep: inflicts sleep on enemies.
DRG
Summon Wyvern: Summons a pet Wyvern that lacerates, bites, and breathes on foes. Can be consumed its Aether to increase your own power.
Grand Cross: The lancer ability that is done in Halatali HM

SMN

WHM

PLD

scholar should get something a little better. maybe summon a special fairy that mega heals and raises?

Dual wielding katanas...yeah.

Make it happen please, thank you.

Here are some ideas for new mechanics. How about continuous attacks in addition to our instant attacks & cast attacks?
When doing the continuous attack, the player cannot initiate any other abilities. He first have to break the continuous attack (by activating the action again).

• Aurabolt (MNK): [continuous attack that drains TP & MP] project chakra out of the practitioner's hands to inflict astral elemental damage (double potency against undead).
  
  
• Wyvern Sting (DRG): [continuous attack that drains TP & HP] impale an enemy with the practitioner's lance to inflict damage and slow+heavy ailments.
  
  
• Astral Shell (WHM): [continuous attack that drains TP & MP] Like Y'shtola ability, it stops all projectiles physical or magical.

• X-Zone (BLM): [continuous attack that drains TP & MP] Create a large area that shift the enemies into another dimension (become semi-transparent), effectively silencing and pacifying them (the monsters can only auto-attack).
  
  
• Hysteria Song (BRD): [continuous attack drains MP & HP] Play a song that damages the enemy and keep them under the paralyze ailment.
  
  
• Frenzy (WAR): [continuous attack that drains TP & HP] Allows yourself to be consumed by the inner beast, effectively attacking much faster with auto-attack, but weaponskills potency is slightly reduced.
  
  [Or this could be given to MNK in the form of Hundred Fists]
  
  
• ... and more! The idea would be to get a new form of attack. I tried to make do with what the game currently have, but if possible, it could be a great way to introduce NEW status ailments.
  

Other ideas:

• Blink (MNK): randomly change side around your target

SCH or WHM needs ReRaise FOR THE LOVE OF GOD !

BLM's Manafont(or whatever it's called) that allows you to cast spells with no mp cost for a set duration. Or, Chainspell have my vote. Either one would be fantastic.


Btw, for you guys who keep bringing up Burst. 1.0 had Burst..it was horrible, like truly sucked. It was instant cast..but was pathetic. Sure they could fix that, but meh.

As for Ultima..I want it, but I really doubt we'll see that in player's hands as anything other than a Limit Break and due to its power and reputation, I really think that wont happen until they increase (if even in the plans) to a tier 4 or 5 level AoE LB.

Which at the same time would be cool, though getting 3 bars in many situations is hard enough as it is, they'd have to allow the building rate to be increased quite a bit.

Or, keep it at the 3 bar, but as levels increase and content (should) get progressively more difficult, what is a 3 bar LB now, would become a level 2 LB, with a new AoE burst as level 3, etc.

Reason I suggest this in particular, the level 1 LB on a lvl50 run, on average only reaches about 3k'ish damage. Which is fine, except I've hit crit flares for nearly that amount. It's going to get to the point where the 1 bar LB in the level that it is will be overshadowed by many player's own attacks, so as content and player power increases, the LB should scale with us so that the LB never becomes what became of the XI 2 hour abilities.

Has a WHM myself and loving heal over times, i would like a single target spell curing and then puting a hot, kind of medica2 but single target. Could be cure1 of the bat heal with the potecy of a medica hot for 10s. Would love to put a 3rd heal over time on tanks :p.
And yea... reraise!

WAR: Retaliate - Attack an opponent for 50 potency every time damage is taken when your hp is/drops below 50% of your Maximum HP. Cannot Crit or miss. DoT effects do not apply. Overwrites Vengeance's Thorns Effect. Duration 15 Seconds.

PLD: Red Lotus Blade - Consume TP/MP to attack with an enchanted blade for 120 Potency. - Combo Riot Blade - Combo Potency: 280 - Bonus Action: 10% chance to Burn opponent for 50 Potency. Duration: 15 seconds

BRD: Bewildering Etude - Reduce damage by 20%, Reduce the potency of enemy special attacks by 20%. Consumes MP over time.

WHM: Blessed Union - The next Cure or Cure II spell cast adds a regen effect for 10% of the amount healed for 20 seconds. Stacks with Regen and Medica II. Duration: 10 seconds.

BLM: Untold Chaos - The next attack spell cast randomly inflicts one of the following effects: DoT for 10% of damage done, Double Potency, a random non-DoT status ailment (slow, paralyze, petrification, attack down, defense down, etc) which cannot be resisted. Duration: 10 seconds, Status Ailment Duration: 20 seconds

DRG: Dragons Retribution - Release a random Ice, Fire, or Thunder based breath, Ice increasing the party M.Defense, Fire lowering enemy defense, or Thunder to Paralyze opponents. Duration: 20 seconds.

MNK: Grappler - Prevent yourself and your opponent from performing any actions for 10 seconds, receive 20% damage dealt to opponent while frozen (for being in the line of fire basically). Cannot be healed while frozen, but effects prior to Grappler such as stoneskin and regen will continue to work. Will not stop enrage timers or phase changes.

SCH: Harmony - The next Leeches cast will remove up to 3 status effects, and restore that players HP by 10% for each affliction removed.

SMN: Discord - The next Enkindle attack consumes the Igi's remaining HP, but boosts their damage by up to 100% based on said remaining HP. Withdraws Igi.

I don't think any of these are the least bit unreasonable, though I might see some disagree with me giving PLD an attack and everyone else abilities. I just think PLD needs a few more attack choices when OT and it balances the ability/attacks ratio between WAR and PLD a bit, but that's just me.
