What about Mystic Knight?

[ChazNatlo]

So I'd love a Mystic Knight, been my favourite class for basically ever. However, doesn't the pugilist/monk already sortof infringe on this teritory with it's fists of earth/wind/fire? It isn't like red mage not having it saves the class from "elementally charged weapon" redundancy.

Fist of element and en-element are watered down- just added damage, and in mnk's case its 3 weak buffs and only 1 is damage. Basically 3 stances. Mystic knight skills are like actual black magic spells delivered by a weapon. The majority of them were element weakness exploitation, which we don't have in XIV. So since weaponskills and combos already deliver things like debuffs, dots, and buffs to the attacker spellblade effects would be more of the same, really just styling the attack animations I think, or like mnk fistd and nin poisons, stances.


I think it'd be cool if RDM (or MYS) had a Runic cooldown. Absorbing a portion of magic damage either personally or party wide and converting it into mp recovered.
