3.05 Job Balance Request Megathread

when under Minuet:

Barrage increased to making a single target weapon skill hit 4 times.

River of Blood trait should allow BL/RoD to increase in potency up to 2 times if reset by either WB or VB and not on cooldown.

River of Blood trait can now trigger a special effect on Iron Jaws...if BL/RoD are reset by WB or VB and not on cooldown, the next Iron Jaws casted will 'place' both WB and VB on a target with no TP cost (proc duration 10 secs).

Sidewinder: Flaming Arrow can now give a third potency increase. Now if the target is inflicted with both DoTs and is standing in Flaming Arrow---Sidewinder will hit with the same potency pre 3.01; 450 I think it was (any 2 of the 3 will be what the max potency is now--350, with just 1 of the 3 being applied before Sidewinder use would be weaker potency--250. Without any of the 3...Sidewinder will be at it's weakest---100 potency).

Suggestions for MCH:

Get rid of our short-lived, long cooldown "support" skills (Dismantle, Rend Mind, Hypercharge). Replace with various turret stances that give these buffs/debuffs as long as the turret is in that stance. This will let us provide a dps boost to the entire party (and offset our lower innate dps) when other buffs aren't needed and allow us to switch to extra damage reduction or MP/TP regen when needed to make life easier for healers, tanks and other dps, providing some true support abilities. Also suggest removing the damage nerf when using regen abilities. Seems counterproductive to punish a class for using an ability properly, especially when they already do less damage than other classes.

I guess they'd have to somehow lengthen the effective duration of Enochian, or if you want to sort of encourage the use of Thundercloud procs in the rotation, have a Thundercloud proc Thunder III extend Enochian duration by a set amount without triggering Blizzard IV's diminishing returns (10 seconds, maybe?). It's a little too RNG for my tastes, but I don't see them messing with Thunder III's damage and instead think they may try to create some synergy between it and Enochian.

Added to OP:

• Gauss Barrel Attachment Recolors

...at minimum, the Gauss Barrel attachment's color/tip should match that of the weapon equipped. Beyond that, certain weapons should have unique GB attachment designs.

It's really starting to feel like MCH visuals were extremely rushed :/ please boost them, SE!

If you have a dyeable weapon, the metal part of the gauss barrel changes to match.

True but it should match by default. Simple recolors aren't difficult or time-consuming virtually at all & there's no good reason to not put in that little added touch to prevent major clashing.

Like how the satchel should match your chest color by default too or something, but I'll settle for just GB attachment-head recolors on the regular.

Apologies if I haven't seen it. Also please make Machinist damage blunt. I honestly couldn't care if that doesn't make sense for some people, Monks need this to remain on par with Dragoons. We deal less DPS and we have less synergy with other classes (Except for the heal, however fast clears do not require Mantra so why bring a Monk over a Dragoon?), we need something that will work with our blunt resist reduction.

Ninja:
Mudra lag if possible

Armor crush as an extension onto shadow fang

Machinist:
Hot Shots - Removed, increase damage of all other skills by equal %

Reason: There is no reason this needs to exist. It's a boring ability, feels tacked on and serves no purpose other than to artificially increase the class difficulty. The class has a high enough skill floor as it is. Removing one ability won't change that.

For monk...
Please exchange Haymaker with:
Hamedo:Attack before being attacked.

Thank you. I look forward to it.
