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

PLD/GLA
Shield swipe trait: turns the shield swipe into an aoe centered around the paladin that hits everything within melee range (3y). Damage stays the same, Tp cost increased.
Riot blade trait: combo bonus restores TP on top of restoring MP (neutral amount, costs 80, restores 80/100).

MNK only
Chi blast skill: releases GL stored inside the monk's body into a very strong projectile attack (standard ranged distance), multiplying the potency for each stack of GL. Low cooldown but erases the monk's stored GL stacks and prevents the monk from generating GL for 15 seconds or more depending on balance.

That would take 300 potency just to make up for the loss of auto attack potency, nevermind the loss of actual skill damage. You'd have to either make it so powerful it'd be a mini-LB, or so weak that you'd only use it when you know you're going to lose GL anyway. . .

Yes, that was my aim. I want it to be used for fights with encounter breaks like primals teleporting out of the arenas long enough to make a monk lose GL stacks anyway, or when certain adds that needs to die immediately to the point a dps loss after (because you still can attack after releasing GL) is still worth it to escape a potential wipe, like sahagin mage on levi ex, or for extra damage when the monk is the only meelee around and has to melee LB (not sure if monks can keep up GL with LB3).

I agree lol. if its on GCD MNK's arint gonna use it unless they cant get close to attack anyhow (and i still wouldn't use it if i had to wait 15 seconds to be able to gain GL again) . having it both spend GL and be unable to gain GL for 15 seconds is overkill.

A ranged attack for monk like chi blast would be something i'd love.

Monks could also get a trait that lets second wind heal a single status ailment.

perhaps one that adds a small regen to Mantra.
