Using Guardians Aspect outside of Regional Guildleves

[Adol]

As grinding parties have now become one of the more main (if not THE main) ways of ranking/levelling up and less people focussing on battle leves as their levelling method, the thought came to me:

Why not give the players use of guardians aspect (GA) outside of a guildleve?

The effect would replicate the xp rings which were used frequently in FFXI and since we now have the SP boost items for DoL/H it seems odd that battle classes had been left out of that.

There is, however, the issue of how this could be used too much and make character growth too quick a process, but many things could be done to counter this. For example:

- Increase the amount of GA consumed when activating it outside of a guildleve (20? 30?).

- Make this ability exclusive to battle classes, as the other two disciplines already have their own sp bonus items.

- The bonus would run out after a certain amount of time or after a certain amount of bonus sp/xp had been obtained (Similar to xp rings from XI).

- Include a 1 or 2 hour cooldown after activation before the bonus can be used again.

These are just a few things which could be taken in to account when implementing such a feature.

Please discuss whether this sort of system would be useful and also discuss what you feel would be reasonable with regards to the GA cost, and cooldown time after activating GA.

Thanks.
