Let's rework some of the Variant Actions

Variant Ultimatum - Available when a tank is not in the party
Variant Raise - Available when a healer is not in the party
Variant Dart - Available when a dps is not in the party
Variant Rampart - Unavailable to tanks
Variant Cure - Unavailable to healers
Variant Boost - Unavailable to dps

Variant Boost is an ability with 60s cooldown that increases your damage dealt by 15% for 20s.

Variant Cure is now an ogcd ability with 3 charges and 60s cooldown. If I'm a dps and I'm hurt I'm not dropping my downtime to heal myself, even if it's the correct thing to do.

Also I would appreciate if they made the trash pulls a little more difficult and interesting.

I’d like to see variant blood rage/seraph strike/slash, stacks2duration/bane/enhanced bloodbath and so on as a reward for ~4/12 endings. There’d need to be 12 per expansion if they do a v&c per raid tier, but would work as a method to let people have more variety in gameplay while not being in content that matters much.
The unlockable actions could be themed around the v&c they’re from but that might be unnecessarily restrictive - the most recent one would be difficult to incorporate into any non-arcanist job. Possibly any non scholar if lv90+ summoner has thrown the towel in on arcanima.

From my expierence with variant actions, Variant dart is underpowered at making Tanks/healers into doing DPS output.

4 DPS feels superior to any other comp as long as people can avoid things.

Probably because the 'potency' listed is like PVP, where the value listed is the exact damage number dealt rather than a multiplier. Effectively, SpiritDart is gear-agnostic, it does not scale with you. Good for guaranteeing a 'certain predictable amount of contribution' in terms of damage output, but pretty lame in that how it functions

Also it reuses the animation of Miasma 2, so it'd be real nice if we could, y'know, just add that back to SCH next expansion so we can cast Broil just a little bit less often

Mao likes damage mitigator. If Mao punches that and Mao damage shield, Mao can stand in fires as BLMs and just keep burninatings.

For this to work you'd have to be able to change them after you entered the instance.

I'm not sure the spagetti is able to deal with that kind of request.

Then again, we are able to change it in zadnor. And in eurika we're able to overwrite it, but from a rather limited list, even outside of town.
