7.0 DNC Ideacraft

[Raikai]

I really like these ideas. Closed position on self is LONG overdue. DNC is always shafted when it comes to soloing. Heck, even that Stone, Sky, Sea is worthless since you can't really simulate a dance partner. Also I feel that Closed Position should be moved as early as the 20's, even if it would mean nerfing it and making a "Closed Position II" at higher levels with its actual power. New players gotta be familiarized with that mechanic asap.

The thing about Standard Waltz seems interesting as well. I could totally see them adding something like an alternate finisher - I just don't think that doing a "different sequence" would be intuitive enough, because it would always feel like a "mistake to avoid". But maybe they could find a way to display 2 different step sequences?

The improvisation rework makes the action really more engaging, because today the heal is puny and the shield is extremely situational (and also puny). An 'off way' to spend Esprit with less than 50 would make the gauge more dynamic and would add more complexity with planning, potentially assessing the issue of resource overcapping during TS.
