Just for fun: Job abiility wishlist

[sindriiisgaming]

I want a new enshroud for reaper that focuses more on the avatar than the reaper. Rn the reapers appearance changes but the avatar is gone. I wanna see us summon our avatar more by our side. Also for the love of god flesh out the story between rpr and avatar. I hate that he's just... there but every other avatar is expanded on.

As for drg. Please a dragon form transformation like estinien gets in final steps of faith. I currently hate drg because I don't feel like a dragon slayer. I don't feel the dragon within me taking over and I need something more feral about the job to really get my claws into it and be the drg main I allways wanted to be

I just want Power Slash back

Machinist need AoE to charge the battery gauge and they need an AoE spender for it.

I'd like to see flamethrower reworked to be an instant use fire dot that deals less damage but doesn't require us to hold still for ten seconds.

More use for the heat gauge. Give us options while still having heat blast be optimal for our explosive.

Increase the damage on our spammed abilities but have them share a cool down. Having to slam our six of them every heat gauge use is aggravating, especially considering how negligible the overall damage is.

For carbuncle, give him his old auto attacks back. I don't care about the darn glamour, I just want him to do SOMETHING.

I'd like a LOT of DRK's old animations and moves back

But I'd like to see DRK changed to a proc/counter based tank. One of the reasons I liked it on release was Low Blow and I like the idea of Dark Knight being the dirty fighter, revenge-tank of sorts. Getting hit procs several counter moves, bigger damage procs more powerful skills so that you want to be smart about your mitigations and allow a certain amount of damage to actually go through.

Yes, please. Dark Arts is one of the best things about DRK, it'd be great if its core identity was buit around it.

Call Wyvern for DRG... I want my little buddy Sasavi back from FFXI... >.>

Also calling something else back from FFXI

Weapon Bash for DRK. Give it the same CD as Shield Bash on PLD except instead of stun have it do Interrupt.

SCH- delete seraph as an actual entity, get rid of any plans to summon other entities besides Eos, bake seraphs effects into a skill that just effects Eos (such as rouse), make seraphic illumination and angel whisper have a unique effect

Then make fey union not just a boring regen tether but instead use it to give fairy heals the curing waltz effect so the fey gauge becomes the centre of how you organise your fairy heals

GNB. I want a super bolide that applies to the boss instead, meaning its invuln for 10 secs but drops to 1 HP. No questions thanks.

DRG really has the potential to be another selfish job that focuses on raw damage. I love the concept of Life of the Dragon, and how the eye opens more and more based on the actions of the DRG, granting access to more abilities and damage once the eye is fully open. This just needs to be fleshed out a bit more. We'll never be able to turn into a full fledged dragon, but that doesn't mean we can't get access to very strong Dravanian skills such as Rime Wreath, Cauterize, Tail End, and the beloved Akh Morn.

Where I feel this job suffers are the abundance of 2min skills. Litany and Dragon Sight feel completely tacked on, and Dragonfire Dive being on two minutes is ridiculous. This should be a skill rewarded to the DRG for playing the job correctly, much like Nastrond and Stardiver.

I grow tired of the two-minute meta in general that forces players to just shove all their strongest attacks into a window. It is such a weak form of job design that I feel it very lazy. This dev team can do better. They already have with jobs like BLM and SAM. This needs to be extended to DPS jobs that are really meant to inflict a ton of pain on the enemy. It's fine to have a couple of DPS support jobs as there are plenty of players who enjoy doing less damage in favor of providing group support, but I feel players who enjoy heavy hitters like DRG are not seeking to do that.

More supports songs on bard, like it was on 11. I would love to see them add all elements on blm and rdm but that would also include elemental resistance on mobs and bosses. Maybe add en-spells so that they can enchant their weapon with elemental dmg for meele attacks. More summons obviously for summoners.
