3.3~ Job Feedback & Future Changes

Here comes the bubble burster with needle in hand to burst some bubbles!

-BW during grit would make DRK the go to MT because they'd do the most damage by far
-SwO 10% damage increase would make PLD stronger than WAR....that does sound nice
-Reducing the CD on Duality & Dwd would make NIN stronger, which would give it support AND damage...again maybe not the worst idea.
-WV 250 potency aoe? 30 second recast? Sidewinder is a 250 potency with both dots on the target & a 60 second cd, way too OP
-MNK being able to use chakra in battle would SKYROCKET their damage, Forbidden Chakra every 10 seconds? OP. But if they somehow made it so you could only use Meditate, then it'd be very useful.
-Stoneskin 2 was only added later to make it easier to stoneskin everyone before a battle, if WHM could use it battle at no cost, that in itself is OP, still sounds reasonable-ish, but might mess up end game raids/ex trials

However commends for actually trying, I love the influx of ideas

Activating BW could just disable Grit.

Monks can already charge Chakra stacks at the end of every GL combo anyway with no fear of dropping GL so eh.

Ley Lines helping out other casters for faster heals and casts could be great. Especially since we tractor beam boss AoE's to them for some reason. I will agree on other BLM's not getting the buff since they can put their own lines down.

I don't get where the Blood Weapon during Grit being OP thing comes from. There would likely be a compromise as I said in my post, and that compromise will, if we get Blood Weapon in Grit, the loss of Blood Price.

Also, I'm not going to repeat myself, but please do some math. I went over what makes Sword Oath so absurdly powerful as it is on page 2.

I was replying in general not picking anyone out jeez no need to get snippy, someone else said & I've seen before, people mention adding 10+~% (& BW in grit) which would make PLD above WAR damage wise, I do think a 5% damage might possibly work but DRK would need compensation too. As of now my 210 wpn WAR is still a little stronger than my 240 wpn PLD, I think they should buff PLD's damage OR buff it's utility bc it can be fun protecting your party but being weaker compared to WAR who can watch his whole party die but stay alive alone.

& as for IN Grit, BW would be +15% attack speed every 40(?) seconds & make it far easier to use DA SE instead of settling for Delirium which would make DRK the strongest MT, as all tanks are about the same damage wise as MT right now.

Wow. My apologies on the math, I was honestly unaware that Skill Speed didn't effect auto-attack rate, this may be due to me playing only Dark Knight, Bard, and Ninja as far as Disciples of War are concerned, which means that above level 50, for the most part, skill speed is either ignored in the case of Dark Knight, functions like spell speed in the case of Bard, or is welcome, but not needed in the case of Ninja. So I am a tad unfamiliar with the stat's functioning.

Regardless, while Sword Oath is boring, I think it is fine as is, especially if it is a better increase than a simple damage boost as it is. Now, if we ditch the PS3 for 4.0, I think we could do the stance gaining some new, permanent visual effects, such as the blade glowing with holy energy or making the auto-attacks having a visual flair.

While the difference between Warrior and Paladin is large, the difference also exists between Warrior and Dark Knight. It is perhaps more egregious due to the ease at which Warrior can, even while actively tanking, swap between their stances, since currently, both are considered high damage options for tanking. On a personal basis, even comparing my Warrior (i230 weapon) and Dark Knight (i240 weapon), Warrior is more offensively powerful without stance dancing while tanking. And while my Dark Knight starts higher, it ends up averaging slightly lower the longer a fight goes on. There is a big enough difference in equipment that it shouldn't be happening at all, if anything, my Dark Knight should be on top. Honestly, the removal of Blood Price to gain Blood Weapon would be a much welcome gain, especially if we consider the strengths of Warrior as a tank when compared to Dark Knight.
