Elixir Field misnamed.

Hallowed Ground, as others have mentioned, gives the impression of a ground AoE effect in the same vein as Sacred Soil, Asylum, Salted Earth. Name wise I find it better than Invincible, but doesn't actually fit with the PLD since they're not religiously bound in XIV compared to previous iterations.

I like Defiance, and so far I look at Deliverance as you entering a stage where you fully liberate your inner beast/power to take over (as opposed to keeping it under control), leading to a state of abandon in return for more damage.

Haven't done the HW WAR quests yet though, so chances are my interpretation is already debunked there.

Every time I pop Hallowed Ground I have to scream "THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!"



For what it does, it would be better named as "Defiance", than the MRD/WAR skill.


"Here I stand, and upon my shield the enemy shall break like waves upon the shore..."

"There stands Jackson like a stone wall..."


Yet if my line should die,
It dies with its teeth in the enemy's throat,
It dies with its name on the enemy's tongue.
For just as mere life is not victory,
Mere death is not defeat;
And in the next world I shall kill the foe a thousand times,
Laughing,
Undefeated.

When I first heard of Hallowed Ground in this game and it's long cooldown, I also thought it was an AoE effect (which would make its long cd make sense).

Sure you can justify its name, but that can be done with just about any name. The problem is that there word "ground" already has the connotation of being an area.
