Hunts: Has anyone considered this?

Good point but then again we all know how fast these hunts get zerged down.
So imo woth a fresh coutdown that wouldn't be a big problem right?

This is a terrible idea. People will just claim the mob instantly and try to hold it while their party gets there. It will make every single aspect of the hunt worse than it currently is. Plus it introduces even more class-ism to the hunts. Pretty much just jobs that can solo or live long enough for their party to get there will benefit from this idea.

Unless you pretend the mobs to disappear mid-fight, to which I just say: Lol.

Given the current way of hunts (aggro scoring), it already doesn't make sense to bring a DD into a hunt party. Marks are getting zerg'd down by sheer number of participants, the raw damage DDs bring doesn't really matter, plus it is not a matter of damage anyways, it is aggro.

A group of 8 DD achieving 20 seals from A mark could be done with 2-3 warriors.

Well, unless you are pretty much new to the game or refuse to level a tank/whm job, then I guess, too bad.

Absolutely no way. It's hard enough as it is to get to S ranks before they die. If they start disappearing and rarely spawning it will be a nightmare.
