Since we have a mage tank thread and evasion with monk. Figured I would start one around riposte as a core mechanic. Seeing how Flurry (parry) is a core skill of lancer seemed like a good place to start. We can use Gladiator as the third class because let's face it, provoke is too much a part of things atm. Not sure what we can use as the secondary or lvl 15 class.

The Job would excel in physical defensive tanking while being weak to magic based attacks as a counter balance. This already fits into the Lancer theme with their armor.

Thoughts?

Cross Class - Provoke, Flash, Convalescence, ? , ?

Lvl 30 - Strength of the Mountain - "Lancer" gains a 10% HP increase and has pdef increased by 30%. All attacks now have a 1.5 threat Modifier. Toggle effect like defiance.

Lvl 35 - Riposte - 50% chance on successful parry to counter attack the attacker with potency 100 attack, threat modifier x3


Lvl 40 - Sight beyond Sight - Duration 10 seconds. Allows the "lancer" to parry attacks with a 50% effect (think current parry is only 24%ish? Clarification please). Cool down 60 seconds.

Lvl 45 - Arcane Lance - 1 attack. Cool down 3min. "Lancer" is able to mitigate a magical attack as if it was a physical attack.

Lvl 50 - Byakugan - For 6 seconds is able to parry and riposte every attack made against the "lancer" with potency 125 attacks that are threat x5 attacks. Cooldown 90 seconds (since the mitigation isn't like HG shorter cool down but longer then a minute because it does deal damage back and on ae pulls/encounters would be very deadly for threat and clearing)

Honestly kinda slapped together but let's build it up shall we?
