    This is a good point and I like the second suggestion it sounds like a nice idea to implement since it would still allow them to use trick attack at the start of skirmishes but not hide with an abundance of medals. However is there a specific reason as to why choose to lock it at 3 stacks that im not thinking of or was that number arbitrary? Cause I'd take ur suggestion except go a little further and say if you have heavy medal debuff period you cannot utilize hide.

    I just threw this idea on the spot so yes, the number of stacks its arbitrary. Stopped at 3 because its not a deal breaker if someone decides to hide away with 3.

    And yea you're right about the timer. BRD/MCH/enemy NIN could spot you easier with Detect because you'd have to rush to get in position. Worse, they could turn tails and run back to their base to stall.

    Exactly that's why I liked the second suggestion more than the first. With the first if the ability has a duration you can just stall and render the ability useless anyway. At least with the second option they could have more time to use hide effectively when its available (i.e does not have heavy medal status). Its a common tactic to stall like that, at least for me anyway when I'm in a match and I know I'm gonna be the focus of the enemies initial burst based on knowledge of the opponents tendencies from previous matches against me if I recognize them.
