Future Skills for WHM - Level Cap Increase

[Raminax]

Well, this is inspiring! I suppose I have a few ideas to share (or more generously, ripping off Final Fantasy tradition)...

CNJ Level 52 - Reraise - 8 sec cast time, 30 minute cooldown
Grants yourself the Reraise effect for 30 minutes. If defeated within that duration, you may resurrect at your current location, suffering the usual Raise penalties.

CNJ Level 54 - Water II/Fluid Aura II - 2 second cast time, 40 second cooldown
Encases the target in a bubble for 4 seconds, causing initial damage equal to 50 potency. After 4 seconds pass, the target takes water damage equal to 200 potency.

CNJ Level 56 - Enhanced Reraise
The cooldown of your Reraise is reset whenever you are defeated and resurrect outside combat.

CNJ Level 58 - Salvation (Crossclassable maybe?) - Instant, 60 second cooldown
Grants the Salvation effect on the target for 30 seconds. If the target falls below a certain health threshold while Salvation is active, the target will immediately regain health equal to 600 potency.

CNJ Level 60 - Enhanced Water II/Fluid Aura II
The delayed damage effect of Water II/Fluid Aura II now also causes damage in a 5 yalm radius.

WHM Level 55 - Cure IV/Curaja - 3 second cast time
Restores health with a potency of 500. Power increases by 1 % for every percentage of health the target is missing.

WHM Level 60 - Arise - 2 second cast time, 10 minute cooldown
Resurrects the target to full health and without a Weakened or Brink of Death penalty.

I'm aware that half of the stuff is probably broken or uninspired, but it's late and I'd feel like a wuss if I replaced all numbers with Xs and Ys.

I recall vaguely an interview in beta somewhere that the devs weren't adding Reraise in any form to prevent zombie tactics. It may have been back on the previous forums - am I hallucinating this?

sorry if this is a silly question, what are zombie tactics?

Probably constantly Reraising during combat to essentially make the fight drag on forever without real risk of failure.

...though even then, I personally think a long cooldown and high mana cost on it might screw over such tactics, but then it also becomes just a boring convenience.

I seem to remember this too. Also, as far as the Burn skill goes, I was just trying to incorporate all the elements and Fire wasn't available. xD (Thunder is cross-classable)

lmao Raise II as well as Haste look OP as fk.

I believe that's why they put a 10 minute cooldown on them. I don't think that when we get actual haste and slow they will go to WHM though. I'd actually expect them more on Summoner who seems to be treated like a Time Mage versus a pet class.

haste is more of a red mage spell not WHM

[Raminax]

Tsk, Haste has been the domain of either White or Time Magic forever.
