Thread: New skills in 3.0

Honestly, for White Mages I would prefer more means to help conserve or regain MP along with providing important utility. Scholars never seem to worry about MP and have been dwarfing White Mages in every aspect. As such, here are my Skill wish list.

Stone 3 with a twist. Rather than just be another damage skill, have it provide a minor stone skin on the user when cast. Nothing major, just something as a means to add some personal mitigation while helping during a DPS crunch.

Osmosis: White mages need a quick way for MP recovery. Relying on saint's shroud in a long fight is never good and having to throw out heavy heals and raises can drain you fast. Could make it water based with a simple dmg to mp formula.

Reraise: The ultimate back up that can help people learning the ropes or just to give someone a second chance in case of the worse. Make it out of combat only to prevent abuse, and maybe even a moderate cooldown so the user must choose who to give the reraise to.

I like the reraise idea. Make it so it can only be cast on another party member, not self. And make the cool down probably around 7-10 minutes, only outside of battle, and only able to be cast one one party member at a time. For ex. If someone in the party has reraise cast on them, even if they don't die, whm cant cast it while it applied on another, even if cooldown timer is full again. Would make for good strategy. Maybe make it that it takes a portion of the mp for whm and that mp is not able to be used while reraise is active. Almost like having a charge on your bank account. Even though money has not been taken out yet, that money is unavailable to you until its processed....

WTB Paladin Knights of the Round ability!
Make it an upgrade to Hallowed Ground.
Invulnerability AND double damage!

I'd like to see Paladin get a legit heal spell and maybe another Cover-like ability. Maybe instead of holmgang which pulls an enemy near, an ability that pulls your ally near so you can better protect them.

Extend Paladin's Cover distance and/or let it block magic-bssed damage.

Maybe even give Paladin a third combo skill for Riot Blade that does extra damage to undead enemies, i dunno.

I havent leveled a paladin yet but my question is should the PLD have some sort of super holy death ray/shield burst/bright sword type of skill that does good bit of damage? when i think of a pld i think of a holy warrior with holy powers that can cause damage...not just blind/aggro enemies

Paladin needs another 3 hit combo, warrior has 3 paladin only has 1.

I'd like to see Paladin get a skill which either annuls or severely reduces the damage from the next attack received. It would be immensely beneficial for the hard hitters in some fights. Also, an AoE Esuna/Leeches would be nice, or at the very least one which can remove more than one status at a time.

As for Black Mage, they haven't really left much scope for adding things due to the very mechanics of the job. That being said, It'd be nice to see a new tier of fire/ice spells which could reduce the elemental resistance of the opposing spell. It could make for some interesting tactical choices at the very least.
