What abilities are you most sad got removed?

[NobleWinter]

I really miss Blank Shot from MCH. It pushed a single enemy and it was so cool because any enemy that was casting would have their ability canceled by the forced movement. It wasn't a true stun so it didn't give stun immunity which made it really unique as a way to interrupt a mob from casting a skill. WHM had the same technique application with Fluid Aura when it used to push enemies and they removed both because Tanks complained about other party members being able to reposition things. They could have just nerfed the movement from 15 yalms to 5 or less but no we lost a really neat interaction all together instead. A lot of people have mentioned Scholar and I am also in that crowd. I miss having separate fairies with separate skills. Fey Wind and Fey Caress from Selene were so fun. I miss pets being able to take damage and hold agro. The fairy would take 50% of the Scholars agro back when it truly existed and actually eat autos from the boss until it died giving you time to revive a tank without being slapped repeatedly. Arcanist used to have Sustain which gave pets healing over time. Shooting your pet with spiraling Sustain in the middle of Limnsa was part of the fun. I miss Miamsa 2, Bane, Shadow Flare, Leeches (Scholar's Esuna clone), Quickened Aetherflow Trait, and pets having their own cast bar and queue system. Scholar really is a poor husks of what it once was especially on the DPS side of things.

If manashift had only one fan, that was me.
I loved that ability on BLM.
Was it niche and mostly useless? Yes, did it disrupt your rotation? Yes.
But it felt so good to give a struggling WHM mana back then and get a smiley face in chat.
We need more of those abilities that have no real impact but flash out the jobs more.
That was before high end raiding alone dictated the skills of jobs.

Also old Enochian.
Removing that awesome animation of activating it was the first sin in destroying BLM and to this day I hope for it to return in some form.

Touch of Death. It added some dynamism to the monk rotation, an out of combo attack you had to keep applying while keeping up your normal combo. There was also Fracture in case you had to use another GCD to delay your Demolish timer without overwriting TOD.

I miss the two sects on AST. Honestly there's not really a reason to NOT have them other than their so called "balance" but like... all their balance does is take away a few more options. If they gave AST shields back then it be possible to do AST/WHM. You can basically already do SCH/SGE (tho I haven't seen as many lately). The hard division between shield healer vs regen healer is just stupid. Maybe some people will say it's job identity but then wasn't being able to do both shield and regen AST's identity? (or at least part of it)

Anyway Yoshi-P please please please add it back, I wanna play AST but my co-healer is a WHM only player

[Shurrikhan]

Not an ability, exactly, but I miss this game having a Z-axis. You used to able to leap from roof to roof with Elusive Jump, but then --allegedly to prevent Ninjas from getting themselves stuck when exploiting areas they meant to keep out of bounds-- all that got removed, allowing mobs to melee us from some 30 yalms below us when flying by, etc.

After that, though, Spread, on Astro. From when Cards were still a real thing.

[Nero-Voidstails]

What I don’t miss: Flash

[Inanegrain]

Whatever skill that had an impact in non lvl cap content due to job changes as they make additions solely for level cap possibly each expansion.

[Absurdity]

Shadow Flare, Greased Lightning, Miasma 2, Aero 3, Time Dilation, Royal Road, Stella, cross class Thunder and Aero, Protect, Silent Dusk, Fey Caress, Fey Wind, Fluid Aura, Goad, Nocturnal Sect, Eye for an Eye, Dark Arts, Contagion, Touch of Death, Fracture, Cleric Stance.

What I don’t miss: Flash

Adding old Celestial Opposition and targeted Embrace to the list...really just the old Fairy controls in general.

And I miss Flash for only one reason, being able to do some leveling shenanigans in Eureka since Flash didn't deal any damage and therefore didn't tag enemies as yours.
