Selfish DPS Balance

[Seraphor]

There's such a thing as selfish utility, aka taking but not giving.
BRD and MCH already have this with DRGs piercing debuff.

For example, Ley Lines could gain a trait that increases spellspeed even further if other party members stand in your Ley Lines.
Indirectly increasing the rDPS of any healer or caster who designs to stick with them.

Ley lines could also increase the Spellspeed (at a minor rate than the BLM) of anyone who teps there, incentivizing other casters to get near the BLM and futher incresing the pDPS of the healers.

Something like this could be cool, but it would also mean many people baiting AoEs on your precious leylines and having to move out of them way more often :<

If they wanted to make a change like that, theres an easy workaround. A BLM setting down Ley Lines causes a proximity buff(range similar to a bards maybe?) to nearby party members. Focusing the aether in the ground to allow for our speed boost leaves more ambient aether in the air and gives the team a determination boost or something(magic damage/healing up?). They arent overlapping us for aoes, but we still give an advantage that the party can use. IF they wanted to go that way.
