Right now it's anoying to keep hate on groups of monsters with just flash. The laughable 100 potency Circle of Scorn isn't contributing to our array of AoE skills for hate keeping in even a minor way.

We could use a good amount of FFXIV 1.0 skills reinstated to us, especially:


Circle Slash - Spin your weapon fiercely, dealing slashing damage to nearby targets.

Luminous Spire - Imbue your blade with brilliance, dealing astral damage and reducing the target's magic defense. Blinds other nearby enemies.


But in other quality-of-life improvements, we need the two above as well as:

Red Lotus - Invoke the power of flame and strike, dealing fire damage.

Howling Vortex - Sound a haunting howl with your weapon, dealing slashing damage and temporarily lengthening the target's cast times.

Spinstroke - Feint and then strike, dealing slashing damage to the target. Increases attack power when the target is not engaging you.

Phalanx - Strike from behind the safety of your shield, dealing slashing damage and increasing enmity. Can only be executed following a block.

Still Precision - Steady yourself, increasing accuracy and reducing evasion.

Deflection - Focus on your shield arm, increasing defense against frontal attacks and negating a portion of blocked damage.

and for completionist sake, Onion Cut - Feign weakness and then attack, dealing slashing damage.
