Spellspeed Paladin

It's the future. Mark my words.
Making this thread for no other purpose but to mark the date so I can say 'told you so' in another 8 months.

Are you basing this around the NPC pally skill 'inspirit' by chance?

Now if only we could get access to Surecast..

And please make 'Raise' be part of our real cross-class, in battle!

On the same vein.. phoenix down, to give them value, thank you.

What are we going to be casting!

Must be some new spells coming.

ok i just used Google to search form this skill and could find a Picture as well as cooldown, casttime and range but what exactly does this skill? (can't remember someone doing this during the Paladin Story line)

As a Paladin who pumped Mind into my tank in 1.20~1.23 with melds, I would be enthralled to see spells play a part on Paladin

Increases spell and skill speed. Enemy paladins have a habit of casting it when they are nearly dead, recent examples being the ones in halatali HM.

Haste won't be there, but something to increase Spellspeed (Since it's the topic here) can very well be done...in fact, WHM already have that skill :p

When done properly it is very easy to mitigate Twintania's DeathStrike using Stoneskin. Its a long cast, not impossible when you know its coming but a legit increase in cast time would really make you a brick wall in t5.

And if they improved the animation of Phoenix Down! Right now it's so disappointing that I wish I never saw it. :(

I hope CNJ one day gets banish as a spell that can be cross classed by PLD only. Maybe make it modified by your health like spirits within. PLD could use banish for damage when they're not main tanking. I hate when I'm doing a tank swap and I take enmity back cause my only real combo is my enmity combo. Would be cool if we could spam banish and riot blade combo as our damage combo when we are OT.

Also I agree PLD should be able to battle raise. When my healer dies I'd love to be able to hallowed ground + raise them. Or bulwark + raise, dunno if it's like it in this game but in ffxi blocking with your shield prevented spell interrupts.

That comment about haste was specifically about auto attack fequency I believe.

Maybe...For now, the only job that can increase its skill speed is MNK and it requires several combos and constant DPS for maintaining it. Just giving a "Haste" spell seems unfair towards them.

I always figured Paladin would be more majestic type figure but it loses all of its WHM background when becoming a Paladin. If memories serve me right Paladins are known to defeat dark forces with Light and have been renound bearers of light and fighting with some sort of magical majestic feel to them. Hmmm I think raise and other spell type tactics shouls be implemented , as close knit as the Warrior and PLD are I'd like to see them variate far from eachother being the only two tanking options.

Not true the selene pet has a spell speed and skill speed increase that it uses every minute or so and lasts for like 15 or 30 seconds

Indeed.
I'm not playing Scholar so I don't know its skill very well.

Selene has two spells. One increases Spell Speed by 20% for 30 seconds, the other increases Skill Speed by 20% for 30 seconds. The each have a CD of 1 minute so one buff can always be up.
