What status effects or mechanics would you like to see?

Frog / Toad.

Annoyingly hilarious.

But I also want a Ribbon accessory!

Do your Hildibrand quests when you hit level 50. You'll be pleasantly surprised with the trial you eventually unlock~

Thanks. I've been PLD 50 for about 4 months but I'd never seen a good-enough reason to go check out the Ace Investigator - until now!

Greased Lightning, Presence of Mind, Selene's buffs are all essentially haste.

Slow's effect is quite noticeable actually. Especially on mages.

Due to how frequent attacks are, I don't see Blink being a very effective spell, not unless they made it utterly game breaking balance wise.

Reraise is the effect I'd like to see - it would have to have a long cool down though to stop blatant abuse - maybe have Phoenix Downs (which are very rare items) instead of raising a party member they instead give the player a Reraise effect, but once used can't be used again for an hour or something to avoid people exploiting in Titan or Coil for instance.

BLMs sort of have a blink ability as it is, with Manawall. Sure it's only a 2-hit physical damage nullifier but it's still proved useful in endgame content like Titan extreme landslides.

I think reraise would be a good idea but you'd have to have some enemies be able to dispel it from you for their enrage mechanics to work intentionally. Otherwise it's essentially just having a spare swiftcast -> raise automated. Like you say, with a long cool down it wouldn't be abused.

How about they fix weakness first?

How come, when sh*t hits the fan, it's easier to just give up, wipe and run back (thanks shortcuts!) than try to fight against the odds? And raising gives you a weakness penalty when wiping doesn't?

If anything surviving a tough situation with in-battle raises should be encouraged because it's so much more fun when you come out with MP at 0 and everyone sharing sighs of relief.

I mean if you wipe and monsters respawned that'd be fine since there's lost time there, but at least hit wiped parties with a severe weakness, no one plays seriously in a dungeon anymore when you can just brush off a wipe and sprint back. This just encourages speed runs, if you pull 10 mobs and die well you take the risk of a wipe, but if that risk is not there why not.

Of course dungeons only (not trials)

You mean preventing sac pulls? In old FFXI you could de-level because you would lose experience whenever you died. SE decided that de-levelling was too harsh for today's gamers though. We do take more severe gear damage when we die though, so there is that.

Just wondering, does anyone think status/elemental resistance stats will ever become useful for endgame encounters? They don't really appear to be of any use at the moment.
