    Question: Ambidexterity?

    Is this ability crap or am I understand it wrong? Its description is as follows:

    Focus on your off hand, halving the stamina cost of your next action
    Now If this abilities only use is to "halve" the next action's stamina cost, then its useless because it itself uses up almost half the stamina bar. If it has another use, someone explain it to me please I haven't grasped it yet.

    I've been told it halves the cost of your offhand actions for a duration of time or something, but not just your next action.

    depends how long it lasts, i dont have the skill. but if it lasts awhile you can basically use it at the start of fights, before you engage, I would say use it for expensive skills, but there are only a few skills that use more than half the stamina. Sounds like it either needs an adjustment, or they had a plan for some fairly expensive skills later.

    well if the above is true, that would explain it

    Well I'm assuming by the wording of it that its only effective for the next action you take so it lasts only until you initiate the next action. I will try it soon I haven't got around to it but it just seems useless to me in its current state.

    It's pretty useless considering it takes so much stamina to use in the first place.

    It has a long enough duration to get like 3 or 4 shield skills in and you technically come out of it saving stamina (I think) but it's a pretty bad skill.

    More then likely its a skill they put in in anticipation of dual wielding.

    I have to thank Square-Enix for the amazing job they have done recreating Final Fantasy XIV from Scratch. Especially the inclusion of Missing Genders which we petitioned for in good faith. This was proof to us players that the Developers are truly Sympathetic to our requests and that being honest and vocal can pay off with the amazing characters we have who are Female Roegadyn, Male Miqote, and Female Highlanders. Thank You SE, Thank You Community Team, Thank You Yoshi-P.

    Its like 95% of abilities and spells in this game, garbage. It's not properly balanced, like everything else.
    Hopefully, whatever this new battle system is, makes it obvious to everyone how incredibly unbalanced the game seriously is.

    Don't you mean hopefully the new battle system offers better balancing? Surely that's what you meant.

    theres nothing imbalanced about 1 skill that you can choose to use or not, gladiator is already plenty useful even if that skill isnt great. Every class has skills that most people dont want to use, playstyles differ I see no job that even has 10% of its skills being useless
