Make a small change that would break a class completely.

you mean, like it was before the 2.1 (or was it 2.2 ?) nerf ? :D

here my list :

BLM : no monster is immune anymore to sleep
BRD : swiftsong in battle (I would have said give us the original RoD back, but now WARs have it, so.. yeah...)
WAR : overpower is now MP-based (of course, their MP pool remains super low)
PLD : stances are no longer on GCD and do not break combo anymore (second one should be QoL thing. meh)
SCH : a critical embrace shields the target
MNK : GL has a 20 seconds duration
DRG : ellusive jumps actually counts you out of the AoEs when you're out and not when you land (oh maybe that should be an other QoL thingie instead ? ;D )
WHM : shroud of saints nullifies hate generation for its duration on top of the current effects

The only "nerf" about Bane was the skill description, not the skill itself. Only the description got changed.

Sch - Heals cast by eos now add galvanize, this does not erase the adloquium galvanize, and doesn't have a timer.

Ruin II now does 9999 damage.

:P

SCH, once you reach 500 crit, all spells you cast now automatically crit. Fairy embrace skill is now replaced by fairy Adloquium.

PLD - Flash now has an added effect of DEATH level 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. If the target is immune to DEATH, Flash will debuff the target with DOOM on a 1 second timer. Flash will now work on NPC's, player characters and players using virtual headsets (you have been warned)

WHM
Medica is now Curaga. Medica II is now Curaja. Yes I hate the name Medica.
Also Esunaga is reality and Benediction hits the whole party but has a longer recast time.

SMN
Contagion is now a SMN ability that consumes a stack of Aetherflow when used. Bane, on the other hand, doesn't anymore and costs 150 MP.
Garuda's Contagion is replaced by 'Ill Wind' which inflicts Miasma and Bio on a target.

SCH
Fairies will now sit on your shoulder and/or head while idle. Yaaaay!

As BLM, all spells used together always burn enough mp to put you just under the amount needed to use Blizzard III.

a Passive Ability for DRGs - "upon your death, cause an 5 yalm aoe that inflicts damage with a potency of 500."

Book smack causes the target to fall down unconscious for the remainder of the fight :D

Cure is now a 10 second recast.

Squeenix I DEMAND you add this to the game.

Enmity boosts are exchanged for direct damage.

Eg Butchers block is 280 pot with 5.5x enmity modifier.
New butchers 280x5.5= 1540 potency, but no more enmity boost. Fun fact. Overpower also has a 5x enmity mod >:D

Give Ninjas Utsusemi as a Ninjutsu option.

I will say some...

PLD hallowed ground has 30s duration and is aoe with 10y and cooldown of 3m.
WAR bloodbath become passive and each hit heals 1k hp
WHM can now stoneskin II in battle and get a regen II aoe
SCH can summon both faries and use their skills all at same time
BLM fire II does same dmg as flare now and new flare does 9999
SMN can summon all pets included carbuncles and endikle with 1m cooldown
MNK GL now is passive like if was GL3 and fists of fire do 20% more dmg and featherfoot can now avoid 1 attack from any mob included the endgame bosses (like megaflare)
DRG jumps make them invincible during the animation
NIN assassination can be used now with 1m cooldown and with 1% chance to instant kill the enemy even if a endgame boss

All Tanks get a stance that turns them into a DPS
All Melee get a Stance that turns them into a Tank
Healers get a Stance that turns them into DPS
Casters get a stance that turn them into Healers
Bards songs have a duration and straight mana cost when cast and do not debuff the singer's damage. Multiple songs can be active at one time by using the old Everquest technique of "twisting" your songs.

This. This I could get behind, and there'd probably finally be a DPS I can bring myself to play (This is coming from a person who very rarely plays tanks/healers but does so this time b/c I'm having more fun in those roles...)

"Cleric Stance now cannot be used in battles"

OH WAIT, you want to BREAK a class, not FIX IT. Sorry... my bad.

Summoner's Egis when summoned are now full blown primals with full strength and size.
(surprised it wasn't already in here lol)

Every word of this post is pure cancer.

PLD's Bulwark enables shield black of magic.

some people believe that BS saying that a healer shouldn't be allowed to dps

White mage now gets a healing pet sidekick, Carbuncle! Exact same behaviors, etc as Eos; no existing white mage abilities are changed.

5% chance that every regen tick from either regen or medica II resets the cooldown of benediction.

Actually is more like "healers should not be EXPECTED to DPS."

Yeah I don't think you quite understand, either. The original post had Fire 2 proccing Flare. Flare is a Blackmage spell. Class and job are interchangeable at this point as classes server no purpose.

guess what ? they're not. cleric is here so that you CAN dps if you want to. You're not even forced to turn it on to throw extra raid dps if you're afraid to miss the next heal.

and to be honest, there is a lot of healing down time in this game. If you have nothing to do, you may as well use that time to throw a couple of offensive spells to help people. Take note, you're still not forced to, it would just be nice to help the group instead of just standing idle.

I understand laziness. Just don't tell me a way not to be lazy is broken and need a fix.

This isn't true. Reraise I/II/III would automatically raise you once K.O'd but you still incurred all the negative effects of dying. Dying in FFXI meant that you would raise weakened and would lose a lot of xp from your current pool of xp. At most, you would delevel.
So, Reraise III (the best one) would restore 90% of lost Experience Points and 50% of max (Weakened) HP.
So yeah...reraises were nice but they weren't so OP.

My contribution! WHM's LB3 raises everyone with full HP/MP, unweakened and buffed with Protect/Stoneskin!

Freeze gives you max stacks of umbral ice.

Archer has the ability Bladeplay, it allows them to equip a special off-hand pair of swords. While these swords are equipped, their Weapon Skills are converted to specialized Melee attacks that prioritize mobility. This also adds the stance "Predatory Clause" to their arsenal. Predatory Clause allows the Archer to double Bow skill potency while stationary.

Add a 0 to all NIN damage calculations.

So you want to deal '00' dmg instead of just '0' dmg? :P j/k

I've mostly taken this thread as kind of a joke, so to be fair, I wasn't even trying last night. :P

Shields also have Attack stats.

Does this change come with an awesome ARC-specific red trenchcoat glamour piece? :D
