4.0 new ability predictions

[Divine_Ultima]

I'd like to see for WHM:

Granite Skin (trait) I want this to return. I miss 18% stoneskins. Its not required but it sets WHM apart from the other healers which both have mitgation.
Nature's Grace: All spells cost 0 mana for 15 secs. 2 minute CD.
Holy II: 360 potency oGCD spell (additional effects: 30 sec Blind). 3 minute CD (looks like smn deathflare but from above and more "holy")
Esunaga/EsunaII: make it aoe esuna or an esuna which remove all status ailments from 1 target.
Reraise: Last 1 minute on target. 5 minute CD
Revitalize (trait): each HoT tick from Regen or Medica 2 has a 30% chance of refreshing itself.

I predict new traits that give existing skills new featured. And perhaps one or 2 new skills per job

Same. At most I'm expecting something like:
62: skill
64: trait
66: skill
68: trait
70: skill

Or the inverse with 3 traits and 2 skills.

If healers are going to continue to deal damage, I'd like a more interesting toolkit. Maybe each time one of your Aero effects expire, your fluid aura comes off CD and gains 10 yalms in range? Something interesting to react to.

I'd love if they give us a new trait every odd level, and a new skill every even level. With the traits they can bring underused skills back up (such as a major potency increase for Touch of Death for MNK), and then give us new stuff to play with for the skills. Best of both worlds.

DRK
Pain/Atroh/whatever. Ability.

Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 250 to all nearby enemies.*
Additional Effect: Silence
Potency increases the lower the HP
Entering Walking Dead will reset the recast timer

I know you think like the old HMs who are now a requirement to progress somewhere in the level 50 MSQs, but how will you gain access to Alexanders aether within his bubble or even worse his core or the commandroom (A10 onwards) within himself without completing this duties?

You mentioned before that we gained the Dreadwyrm Trance by channeling Bahamut's Aether at Cartenaeu. But this location is never visited within the MSQ either. Only in Frontlines and the Summoner Instance. By your logic, no one who has never participated in Frontlines should be able to use SMN's HW skills.

If SE really wanted to give SMN Alexander-related abilities it could just include a separate instance for them to do so, as with Bahamut's power. As far as keeping fidelity with the side-story, they wouldn't even have to go into Alex's bubble to do so. Just say, attune with some of his aether still seeped into the Hinterlands; a place that EVERY player has been at that point.

BLM: Probably Flare 2 or, I'm hoping, a non-LB Comet spell.

SMN: New egi? ..... probably not but can hope. 99% chance of Ruin 4.

DRK: Probably just new traits.

Other: Yoshie P said in a previous live letter that he regrets the team got carried away with timers on dps, and with the battle adjustments being planned for 4.0, here's hoping for less micro managing on BLM/SMN/DRG/etc. I'd like to see Enochain and leylines combined into one as an example.

[Llynd]

I want silent dusk to hit at 250 potency ( Selene's Mnd)

[dinnertime]

We'd probably see more new traits than new skills. People's hotbars are full as it is right now.

SMN:
*A new spammable AoE spell for SMN that can effectively replace Blizzard II. Although something not necessary because there's Blizzard II already, I don't want a spell that's at point blank range.
*A trait that lets you use Deathflare three times in quick succession (maybe decreases the Dreadwyrm Trance duration by 3 seconds, Dreadwyrm Trance ends after the third Deathflare)

For adjustments, make Enkindle a bit stronger or reduce the cooldown since it has a pretty long cooldown and the damage isn't very impressive because of that.
I also want Contagion removed from Garuda-Egi, made into a SMN skill instead and replaces Tri-Bind (and if people want Tri-Bind back then just make it an ACN skill). Garuda-Egi would get a very effective AoE attack in its place. They could adjust the Caster Egis to be more fitting for packs of mobs and then DPS Egis for 1-2 targets. That would also encourage switching Egis.
Also replace Garuda-Egi's Shockwave with something better, please.

[Nakiami]

I want to see Boost come back.
