Thread: 2.25 Balance Request Megathread

Most of the skill changes in the OP are "please make my job skills op and/or easy mode".

The change i would like to see is making smn tri-disaster more worth using, after making blizzard 2 cross class skill its not even worth as a spam skill for aoe dps (after replacing it on crossbar with sprint for twin divebombs i didnt miss it). At least reduce its cast time from 3s to 2.5 s and mp cost by like 10%, so its bind effect may be at least somewhat usefull. The ONLY use i see for this skill now is immobillizing the cyclops in turn 7 in desired position untill someone can petrify it, and only because its duration is longer than bards shadowbind.

Except the whole point I made in this thread about "my other suggestions aren't listed yet".

Please be less toxic.

I have buffs/changes in store for other classes as well.

The name... lethargy... lethargy means slowing things down... not silencing. Lethargy is perfectly fine as it is.

OP Updated.

Bloodbath should give a Stack of Wrath instead of your proposed change. This gives it a purpose and helps juggling stacks.

An alright idea, but its too Job-Specific for the current system.

Many WAR's like to revert to MRD for PvP.

Until Job-Specific Traits are implemented, I don't see this as viable.

Though I do like it for when that day comes.

I don't understand this thread. 2.25 is already here; also what makes this thread so mega? Why will the devs listen to you? Why isn't this just in one of the other hundreds of threads? what makes your ideas better than everyone else that people will listen to yours and entitles them to its own thread?

I think black mage has some mobility issues, I wish monk didn't lose greased lightning or its stances so quickly I wish tanks had more tools to grab AoE threat, however at the same time its all part of the nature of the class and the challenge of the game. I believe they said tweaks would be coming in 2.3 but I don't know what is being said here that hasn't been already.

second to last if you count war offtank as a dps i guess

They changed that 2 hour cool down. And gave call wyvern as a 15 minute ability before aht urgan or whatever came out
