Future Skills for WHM - Level Cap Increase

My thoughts for some skills and for when they increase the level cap. Keep in mind this is assuming that they move the cap to 65 and they skills are kept as is with no modifications.

Skills/Traits

Level 52
Widecure - Trait
Increases range of all AoE skills by 5 yalms.

Level 55
Burn - Skill
Places a fire based DoT on target with a potency of 20.
Cast time: Instant
Duration: 21 Seconds
Recast: 2.5 Seconds

Level 58
Bedrock - Trait
Increases potency of Stoneskin to 30%.

Level 60
Elemental Release - Skill
Grants 100 points of elemental resistance to the entire party, based on last skill used.
Cast time: 2.5 Seconds
Duration: 60 Seconds
Recast: 300 Seconds
Range: 15 Yalms

Level 62
Focused Mind - Trait
Increases Presence of Mind's duration to 20 Seconds.

Level 65
Tornado - Skill
Deals wind damage for a potency 300.
Cast time: 3 Seconds
Recast 30 Seconds
Radius: 10 Yalms

Reraise please

While I agree with tornado, bedrock, and wide cure(with a cooldown), Burn and Elemental Release I don't. mainly because they do not fit the rotation or design of either conjurors or White Mages.

Great Ideas, I don't think burn works well with CNJ/WHM based on the story (CNJ = earth, wind, water), I see where you're going with Elemental Release, I assume using earth/water/fire/wind would give you a buff and that's how it would decide, but then you'd need more elements. As well resistances haven't been very prevalent so far in the game.

I would like to see another water spell, with just the one it feels like an after thought. Either a water bubble that works similar stoneskin but only prevents Magic Damage or maybe a self bubble that's instant cast (so that we can protect ourselves being so enmity intense). Or something a bit like the bubble in brayflox (2nd boss I think) that slows and does damage.

Raise II(at the cost of double mp of Raise I)? raise target to full hp

I guess what is tricky is if there are abilities and traits for Conjurer to the level cap in addition to the potential of White Mage abilities.

I'm thinking if the level cap is taken to level 60, that there would be at least 2 more White Mage abilities (and I can imagine Reraise fitting in there somewhere). And then maybe three more Conjurer traits in conjunction with 2 Conjurer abilities shared by any other jobs that fall under the Conjurer tree.

Well, this is inspiring! I suppose I have a few ideas to share (or more generously, ripping off Final Fantasy tradition)...

CNJ Level 52 - Reraise - 8 sec cast time, 30 minute cooldown
Grants yourself the Reraise effect for 30 minutes. If defeated within that duration, you may resurrect at your current location, suffering the usual Raise penalties.

CNJ Level 54 - Water II/Fluid Aura II - 2 second cast time, 40 second cooldown
Encases the target in a bubble for 4 seconds, causing initial damage equal to 50 potency. After 4 seconds pass, the target takes water damage equal to 200 potency.

CNJ Level 56 - Enhanced Reraise
The cooldown of your Reraise is reset whenever you are defeated and resurrect outside combat.

CNJ Level 58 - Salvation (Crossclassable maybe?) - Instant, 60 second cooldown
Grants the Salvation effect on the target for 30 seconds. If the target falls below a certain health threshold while Salvation is active, the target will immediately regain health equal to 600 potency.

CNJ Level 60 - Enhanced Water II/Fluid Aura II
The delayed damage effect of Water II/Fluid Aura II now also causes damage in a 5 yalm radius.

WHM Level 55 - Cure IV/Curaja - 3 second cast time
Restores health with a potency of 500. Power increases by 1 % for every percentage of health the target is missing.

WHM Level 60 - Arise - 2 second cast time, 10 minute cooldown
Resurrects the target to full health and without a Weakened or Brink of Death penalty.

I'm aware that half of the stuff is probably broken or uninspired, but it's late and I'd feel like a wuss if I replaced all numbers with Xs and Ys. :p

I recall vaguely an interview in beta somewhere that the devs weren't adding Reraise in any form to prevent zombie tactics. It may have been back on the previous forums - am I hallucinating this?

I seem to remember this too. Also, as far as the Burn skill goes, I was just trying to incorporate all the elements and Fire wasn't available. xD (Thunder is cross-classable)

Probably constantly Reraising during combat to essentially make the fight drag on forever without real risk of failure.

...though even then, I personally think a long cooldown and high mana cost on it might screw over such tactics, but then it also becomes just a boring convenience. :p

I believe that's why they put a 10 minute cooldown on them. I don't think that when we get actual haste and slow they will go to WHM though. I'd actually expect them more on Summoner who seems to be treated like a Time Mage versus a pet class.

haste is more of a red mage spell not WHM

Tsk, Haste has been the domain of either White or Time Magic forever. :p
