The AST Move Idea thread

[Mimilu]

Quincunx
Uses up a players Drawn/Spread card to inflict a select target with a status effect for 25 seconds. A target can only have one Quincunx effect on them at a time and will be immune to Quincunx for 90 seconds once the effect has lifted. Spread cards has priority over Drawn cards. Instant cast time. 120 second recast.
Bole: Decrease the target's Damage by 10%.
Balance: Increase Damage done onto the target by 10%.
Arrow: Any party member that is with in 8 yalms of the affected target will have their Attack Speed increased by 4%.
Spear: Increase the likelihood of the target getting hit by a Critical attack by 10%.
Spire: Any party member that damages the affected target will receive 50 TP.
Ewer: Any party member that damages the affected target will recover 5% of their MP.

Medium Coeli
Use up the user's Drawn card to restore 10% of their MP. Instant cast time. 90 second recast.

Bhāvas
Places a 7 yalm star chart in a designated area that increases the MP and TP recovery rate of all party members within it by 25% for 15 seconds. While this effect is up, the user cannot Draw cards and/or use drawn or Spread card effects. Shares cooldown with Celestial Unconscious. Instant cast time. 90 second recast.

Trine
Places a barrier on a party member that effect varies depending on what Sect the user is in for 21 seconds. Instant cast time. 60 second recast.
Diurnal: The barrier converts 25% of damage the affected receives in HP.
Nocturnal: The barrier damages any enemy that damages the affected. Potency of 80.

Celestial Retrograde
Can only be used while the user is under the effect of a Sect. Switches the user's Sect to the other. Instant cast time. 90 second recast.

This is one of the dreams of every AST: be able to change the Sects. But I feel like SE could allow us to switch Sects on the skills themselves, while adding a 90s cooldown, instead of "burning" a new skill just for that. If it's an inconvenience to have two slots occupied on the hotbar, we could simply get an extra level 50 skill (like WHMs got Stoneskin 2) to swap sects. I feel like we need something more out of it if we're going to get an exclusive skill just for that. Anyway, that's a good idea

A lot of the ideas in here are nice, but some of them would be better on the WHM or SCH toolkit in my opinion. I think that the spells and skills the three healers have so far cover all healing contingencies, so the next spells/skills should be focused on what each healer should be specialized. Or SE could add a spec system inside each job, with a set of skills we could choose from.

So buffs, buff manipulation, speed healing and unique mechanics people would come up with then. At least, that is what I feel sets AST apart and seems to be(I think?) widely considered actually fun about the job.

Yeah, that's what I feel SE should/will do. We have to see how many skills we'll get on the new level cap though. But I'm all in for different ideas; that's just my opinion.
