Second Wind is a terrible ability and either needs redesigned or outright removed.

Define these 99% of cases? Guess what, SW is meant to be useful for that exact 1% situation, so looks like it worked as intend.

i'll give you a case where it wasn't enough. P8S. Illusory Creation, early on when we were still working out our mit plan. We got In + Protean. WHM forgot Temperance.

Our MNK popped Second Wind, Riddle of Earth and Bloodbath. He lived.
Our NIN popped Second Wind, Shadeshift and Bloodbath. He lived.
Our SMN popped Radiant Aegis. He lived.
Our BRD popped Second Wind and died to the Protean by about 2k dmg.

works as intended, if the goal was to make your BRD want to switch to DNC for not only an easier time, but to be arguably more impactful to the raid, and less punishing upon death.

Why we at it, please give every other DPS a personal shield like Radiant Aegis or Manaward, MCH and BRD should also get En Advant.

well NIN and RPR both have Shadeshift and Arcane Crest respectively, so i guess we're getting there.

BRD already has Repelling Shot. and yes, MCH absolutely should get a movement skill.

Like holy crap, I swear some people just obssessive about every class must have exactly the same thing or something.

the devs are the ones who went out of their way to homogenise the f out of the jobs. i'm suggesting a change to an inconsistency.

there's been nothing decent against my suggestions too, other than "lol no" or "it'd be broken" i agree with the "it doesn't matter" ones, because SW is a posterchild for button bloat and should've been one of the first things gone.

How about no to all of that?

example of a response is literally "lol no"

it reminds me of way back in Stormblood when we were discussing how crappy DRK's Shadow Wall was in comparison to WAR's Vengeance.

literally the same responses. "it does its job", "doesn't need changed" "its perfect as it is" and the devs ended up changing it anyway. almost like it wasn't fine.
