In the event of a level cap increase what skills/traits would you want to see?

For me it would be:

Black Mage:

• A PvE version of Phantom Dart, for the rainbow icon and ST DPS boost
• A Dark elemental spell with the same effect as Dark Mist
• A trait for Surecast that allows spellcasting while moving (Technically Swiftcast does this but it is intended for instat cast spells rather than movement, also there is scathe)
• A Chain Lightning attack that serves as Thunder's answer to Freeze and Flare, and which inflicts the Thunder DoT to all mobs in range, the catch being that Thundercloud won't affect it, but the skill still ha a chance of getting the buff

White Mage:

• Aero III. With a different DoT and a similar icon to Fire/Blizzard/Thunder III
• Stone III, with a petrification chance and again a similar icon to the aforementioned "III" spells
• A trait like Thundercloud that allows instantaneous use of an Aero spell while a mob is under an Aero DoT
• Fluid Aura II: An AoE version of Fluid Aura with the same icon thing as my other Elemental III spell requests
• An MP regaining skill with a 300 second cooldown

Summoner/Scholar:

• Summon IV, V and VI for obvious reasons (Summoner only)
• A trait That allows 2 Summons per Arcanist
• Pet skills that inflict the beastman elemental DoTs (Tipsy, Electrocution, etc.) (Summoner only)
• Spikes (Summoner Only)
• White Wind (scholar Only)
• Gravity, but instead of dealing a percentage damage, it would be another DoT with a high chance of Bind

Paladin:

• An attack that coats the blade in a light, temporary increasing emity
• A trait that enables emity gain from mobs nearby the player's target when using ST attacks

An actual AoE Attack for the Paladin.

You get enhanced flash! >O and MP to use it! *overpowers you*

I'd like to see contagion cap removed or at least increased

The missing abilities from version 1.0 up to the final 1.23 patch that disappeared into the changeover to ARR (like the GLA's Phalanx, Red Lotus, Circle Blade, Aegis Boon etc).

And while on the subject of GLA/PLD, either a new ability to greatly increase healing potency when cast on self (like an extra buff for Convalescence), or a default trait that increases healing potency. But just something to make the use of healing spells on GLA/PLD more useful than they currently are.

Some of those seem crazy -- dual summons!? In any event, I'm a bit torn. On my main, MNK, I don't feel like anything terribly important is missing except for a ranged attack (like chi blast). Further, I can't figure out how I'm going to fit more skills on my x-hotbar. BLM has space since they have so many crap skills, but MNK is full. I suppose I can move fists of earth to an unused bar, but mostly it's all full.

A PvE Version of Impulse Rush would be great for DRG. Also a 500 Potency special attack that requires and consumes all mp and can only be used after a True Thrust combo would be great as well since melee has no use for mana currently.

BRD: Enhanced Barrage Barrage now last for 20 seconds

OH MAN

I want there to be the need for equality removed. By this I am referring to one job must have the same # of skills as another.

Haha, Fluid aura is the most annoying spell in the game....i DONT want to see an AOE version of it...not in PVE anyway.
WHM need to stop using it, or take melee jobs, into consideration, when using it.
Also if they add those Aero/Stone III, etc, i'd guess it would be for a DD job, based on CNJ.

But what Enkidoh said. There's tonnes of missing skills, from 1.xx.
And CNJ had like 45+ skills, as opposed to having 17 now.
