3.1 Balance/QoL Request Megathread

[Xenon_S]

Dark Knight
- Enable magical attack parries in Darkside, balance it so each parried magical attack will slightly reduce MP or something.

- Alter the Dark Arts effect on Dark Passenger and Dark Dance, blind and evasion does not fit well with dark dance's MP regain.

- ie. Add a DOT effect on Dark Arts/Dark Passenger, increases attack speed for Dark Arts/Dark Dance (well, you are 'dancing')

- Allow Reprisal to be activated under Dark Arts, it's completely useless in the case of off tanking/Magical attack enemies.

- TP issue, add a refresh TP effect to Blood Weapon or something.

- In terms of mitigations, Shadow Wall is basically a vengence without the extra effects, so why the longer CD for a lesser effect?


Ninja
- TP issues, allow Mug to steal TP instead of HP
- Change the new skill names back to romanized japanese, seriously who came up with "Dream within a Dream" for "Mugen Sandan (夢幻三段)"
- A shukuchi change would be really nice. MNK's shoulder tackle is 30s CD, DRG has Spineshatter Dive and Dragonfire Dive, both are on 60s CD. NINs only have Shukuchi which is 60s CD, although it doesn't require a target, it takes an extra step to actually follow up with an attack. Give it something along the lines of "Grants the effect of Shukuchi, using a weaponskill will move towards the target within 15y range, or target the ground to move quickly to the specified location." Basically giving the option to turn the next weaponskill into a gap closer while still retaining the original effect.
- Slight DPS boost by reducing the CD on Mugen Sandan and Issou (Dream within a Dream and Duality)
- Change or replace smokescreen, a 3minute CD quelling strike is useless. If the healer gets aggro on trashpulls we can simply shadeshift to the tank and rip the monsters off the healer. On boss openers BLM/BRD should have quelling strike on anyways.
- MUDRA LAG! I mean, I understand if theres an input delay, but having the ninjutsus used on client side, only to have the server respond with a bunny, that's too much. It doesn't make sense to have a weapon skill interrupt a mudra, the punishment should only be there to force you to remember your mudra combinations correctly.

Spineshatter dive is 40 second cooldown.
Dragonfire dive is 120 seconds.

Other than that, your suggestions for nin were pretty tame, and that's good.

Spineshatter is 60 seconds, not 40. I'd punch a baby to get spineshatter on a 40s CD.

This made me laugh way harder than it should have.

Can we look into Fey Wind? 3% boost that doesnt affect DoTs.

Say you're at about 2.43 global cd on most skills.
-3% is 2.43-.07=2.36

So yes you get almost a tenth of a second breathing room to cast your skill or push in a final hit before your reduce resistance/buffs drop, kinda.

But overall the skill doesn't increase anyone's damage or healing, because it takes 33 GCDs to get your free GCD from the buff, but if stop even once, you've already lost that freebie. Food for thought. ;-;

Annnd it has a huge uptime on 8 people. It's far more efficient than you give it credit for for some random pet skill.

The uptime doesn't matter whether its 1 or 8 people. It will still take each individual 33 gcds. You can't share GCD speed. xD(or about 1:20 to get the freebie... ._. it takes almost 3 times of Selene casting fey wind) It really is just a very soft rotation helper.
