2.25 Balance Request Megathread

[Silvanoshi]

Presence of Mind and Divine Seal need to be off global cooldown for White Mage.

Regen would be nice also, but might be OP.

EDIT: Let me clarify I suppose. Let me weave them between my spell casting like bards Bloodletter... so I dont have to suffer the stupid animation lock.

*Raise the potency of Enkindle abilities by 100-200 or add DoT & debuff properties that last 30-45 seconds. For real?

*Make Miasma II's AoE center around the target rather than the caster. This would throw it in as part of a SMN's single target rotation as well, so you would then be asking them to nerf the MP cost.

Scholar

*Raise the potency of Succor to narrow the gap between it and Medica II. AoE damage like Tumult can be very difficult to heal through in a SCH/SCH party even with Sacred Soil. I've actually found a lot of fights incredibly easy to heal with Sch/Sch. Do you not Rouse/WD? Fey Illum?

*Allow Leeches to remove Petrify, Confuse, and Hysteria. No, these status effects are 90% of the time caused by avoidable mechanics. Leeches can cleanse a lot of things, but it can't cleanse stupid.

My god a lot of these "balance requests" seem centered around completely obliterating any semblance of balance :/

Buff my favourite job, don't buff the jobs I don't play. Take my suggestion seriously SE and don't pin it up above the water cooler for employees to laugh at.

They already are.

Summoners

Egi removed. Replaced with actual Primal avatars of proper size.

Dragoon

Jump removed. Wyvern pet added added instead.

Guaranteed to reduce Dragoon death rates by 90%.

I agree with you on avatars but completely disagree on dragoon pets. None of their lore in FFXIV has anything to do with building a relationship with dragons/wyverns and is in fact quite the opposite. Can there be a job that plays with dragons? Sure. Make a tamer class that breaks off into beastmaster and some kind of dragon tamer jobs, but leave dragoon lore alone.

Honestly, I don't see why you think Greased Lightning's duration should be shortened. It's perfectly fine at 18 seconds. Also, if you're seriously running out of TP often enough that you would want that change to Fists of Wind, then put Invigorate on your cross-class skills. Heck, just slow down how quickly you use your abilities.

However, I totally agree with the proposed changes to Arm of the Destroyer and Shoulder Tackle. Considering how little damage it does and how gimmicky the silence is, it costs too freaking much TP as-is, particularly in scenarios like Garuda's Plumes while the rocks are still standing, where you WANT to spam your AoEs.

My contribution:
Either lower the cost of One-Ilm Punch, or make it more useful somehow, as right now it's way too gimmicky. For example, have it inflict an attack speed penalty to the target or something if they don't have a buff that can be removed.

Isn't the timer on Greased Lightning 12 seconds?

Would Rather just go with Final Fantasy Tactics Dragonkin. Yet those are just there as things we wont ever see which is why I said it.

1) Arm of the Destroyer – tp to 100
2) Fists of Wind – restore 20tp per auto-attack
3) Greased Lightning – duration to 14s
4) Haymaker – make off-GCD
5) Perfect Balance – retain stance upon expiration; cd to 210s (from 240s)
6) Shoulder Tackle – add Bind/Heavy, remove Stun; dur to 3s, cd to 75s, tp to 100 (from 2s, 90s, 120tp)*

1- TP for this move is Fine I would rather see Rock Breaker TP get reduced. Or raise potency.
2- Fist of Wind is fine and 20 TP per Auto Attack is way to much. Got a better one Fist of Water Absorb 1-5 TP per Auto Attack.
3- GL does not need to be reduced. By bad got Twin snake 15 sec confused with the 12 sec GL.
4- I agree with this. But I use it a lot as is.
5- cool down on PB is also fine. Need to learn when to use it and when not to.
6- Shoulder tackle can keep stun, It is very useful in the right places. There are other jobs that can bind/heavy if it is needed. Don't really see why MNK would need to be part of a stun rotation when PLD can already do this duty solo.

1 - Rockbreaker is extremely powerful in comparison, it doesn't need a tp decrease nor a potency increase.
2 - 20tp per 3s auto-attack at the expense of ALL damage being reduced by 5% is not too much.
3 - GL isn't being reduced, it's being buffed by 2 seconds.
4 -
5 - your opinion; imo a little shorter CD wouldn't hurt.
6 - the point is to keep Shoulder Tackle from hindering the Stun Rotation.
