If you had infinite hotbars space and 8 hands what abilties do you want?

[Altijacek]

Here's my five abilities for white Mage at level 70

Cure IV--An instant cast cure 1 at the mp cost of cure 2.

Full-Cure--5 second cast, costs a ton of MP, fully cures target.

Esunaga--3 second cast, lots of MP, small range AoE esuna.

Water--Deals damage with decent potency and decreases evasion.

Dia--Instantly places a Debuff on enemy. For next ten seconds enemy take damage equal to 50% of HP cured (not including overheal or regens cast BEFORE the Debuff is placed).

So you have 8 hands but only want 5 new abilities?

Why in the world do you need EIGHT hands then?


I mean shoot, if we're just adding 5 new abilities I have space for that no problem

All for White Mage because yes, we lack utilities:

Haste: Increases attack/spell speed by 10% for 15 seconds. 3 seconds cast, 90 seconds cooldown - 800MP
Float: Makes the target float, nullifying ground damage (like Aurum Vale bile pools) and knockback for the duration of the spell. 2.5 seconds cast, 15 seconds duration, 30 seconds recast - 350MP
Pearl: Deals unaspected damage to a target with a potency of 400. Instant cast, 60 seconds cooldown - No MP Cost
Pray: Recovers HP of all party members with a potency of 120. Instant Cast, 60 seconds cooldown - No MP Cost
Vanish: Raises target evasion. 2.5 seconds cast, 30 seconds cooldown - 350 MP
Valor: Doubles potency of target's next attack. Instant Cast, 90 seconds cooldown - No MP Cost
Crest of Faith: Removes MP cost of all skills for the duration of the spell, while multiplying magic damage received by 5. Instant cast, 10 seconds duration, 120 seconds cooldown.

All of them.

I have not. My WHM crossbars are full. I only have space for more 2 long cooldown skills.

All for NIN, all of them pipedreams:

• Blade: Jin and/or Blade: Hi. Weaponskills with some sort of interaction with Critical Hit Rate. To be honest, I don't care so much what their exact effects are so much as I have an unreasonable, sentimental attachment to these two from FFXI. Jin in particular isn't likely to show up as a WS since it already exists as a Mudra here.
• Utsusemi. Ninjutsu or cooldown that provides shadow images that absorb damage similar to the way Manawall used to work. I would have liked for some trait Rogue got to increase Perfect Dodge's number of dodges to 2 or 3, mostly, again, out of a nod to NIN from FFXI. We won't see this one since they moved away from automatic avoidance and the like with HW.
• Kurayami, Hojo, and Jubaku. Blind, Slow, and Paralyze Ninjutsu. We're already "utility" DPS, and I'd like to see the game have more of a role for debuffing in encounters outside of status effects that lower damage output or damage vulnerability.
• Vanish/Smokebomb. I'd like to, in general, see NIN play a little bit more like Rogue from WoW, especially in PvP, with the ability to enter stealth at strategic points during battle or to escape. To go along with this, increased movement speed while hidden would be really nice.
• Kiss of the Spider (or some other venomous creature). A poison that changes Jugulate's Additional Effect to Heavy, rather than Stun or Silence.

If I had 8 hands I don't think I'd be able to play XIV what with the government attempting to abduct me to figure out how I came to be.

[DarkStar]

First for Monk:

Chi/Ki Blast: Ranged attack, hefty TP cost, average potency, gives Raptor stance. Just so MNK isn't literally the only class in the entire game that doesn't have a ranged attack of some kind.

Fists of Lightning: Auto-Attacks give an extra 10 TP per hit, but all attacks deal 10% less damage. Just so there's actually a reason to have more than one Fists Of- stance on our hotbars.

Hundred Fists: Instantly gives 3 stacks of Greased Lightning, and and for the duration doubles the attack speed bonus. 180 second cooldown, 12 second duration. Because this is something MNK should've gotten back when 2.0 went live.

Suplex: Massive potency, stuns target for 5 seconds, Stun neither contributes to nor subject of DR, 240 second cooldown. Hey, I can dream, can't I!?

Fire Dance: Attacks the target and any nearby allies with fiery doppelgangers for high potency damage. 180 second cooldown, 25 yalm range, 5-10 yalm radius. It was my favorite Blitz in FF6. >_>



And now, for Machinist. This is even more of a pipedream than the stuff I thought of for MNK:
First off, remove Gauss Barrel, and then add the following

New Ammo: All ammo skills give 5 stacks as usual, gives the usual bonus to proc rates, and also gives an additional effect:
-Incendiary ammo: Normal attacks and weaponskills deal bonus fire aspected damage

-Pulse Ammo: Normal attacks and weaponskills deal magic damage, rather than physical.

-Gauss Ammo: Weaponskills deal 30% more damage, but auto-attack is disabled and all weaponskills gain a short 'charge' time.

Gauss Round's and Ricochet's names and effects would change based on the ammo type equipped. For example, regular ammo would change GR to Gatling Burst, dealing several hits of auto-attack damage, while Incendiary Ammo would cause Ricochet to deal fire damage in a cone in front of you and leave all affected enemies with a Burn DoT.

[Averax]

I'm making one up.

PomUltima: Gives everyone in 25 yalms a good thrashing.

Edit: realized it should be "pom" and not "mog"

[YuiKitahara]

8 hands? I'd like to see if I can control all 4 members to run a dungeon... must be exhausted lol
