PvP actions (rank 50 reward)

[Praesul]

Testudo, Thrill of War, Full Swing, Focalization, Axe Kick, Impulse Rush, Mythril Tempest, Push back, Enliven....They would all be completely game changing and game breaking, many raid mechanics in PVE would be trivialized or made much, much easier. At their worst, most of these are free off GCD damage increases, at their best they increase survivability and damage by obscene amounts. They would have to tune raids with all of these abilities in mind, that's how strong they are. If they did that, there would be a max exodus as I'm sure many raiders would not want to rank up in pvp to level up their pvp abilities just so they could raid.

And those are just the abilities that I personally know, from jobs that I play. I'm sure the other jobs have other completely bonkers abilitiy that would make pve much, much easier.

I leave the PvP scene for a while and the first thread I come back to is this crazy idea lol. The Forums never let me down.

On a serious note, I do agree that there should be more rewards for reaching Rank 50 (and something that escalates if you reach 50 with multiple GC's), but not this. There are so many other things they cuold do that wouldn't be completely game breaking.

I also agree with Taru that I should be allowed to spend those last two AP's. Seriously SE... I'm honestly curious. Did someone forget to add up the AP points when the ranks were increased, or did you have a serious, honestly thought out plan for the last two points that we can't use?

Haha, ok fine. You've made your point.
But those 2 points, are probably left there for the same reason why GC ranks are stagnant. Future implementation, although it seriously looks like its forgotten.

the 2 points are there for the same reason there was 1 spare point when 45 was the cap

when the cap was set to 40, all action upgrades went from costing 3 - 5 - 7 etc (including having to buy the skill before you could use it), the system was normalised by auto unlocking all skills and normalising the cost to 4 per upgrade, for a total of 10 upgrades at rank 40

its alot easier to spread out new gear over 5 or 10 ranks than it is to change the AP system every time to accomodate a spare point or 2
