future abilities

[samkitwood]

so i was wondering what kind of abilities youd like to see for the healers level 60-70??
id personally like;

AST- double draw (maybe a 4-5 min cooldown) with luck would allow an instant aoe balance or extended arrow
SCH- more fairy buffs akin to fey covenant , but for both fairies. selenes haste is pretty good but the others are very situational. give them more than 3 abilities each
- maybe a shield over time kinda thing where each tick of say a 10 second period creates a shield around a single party member, would help tanks survivability during multiple heavy hits
WHM- how about a reflect spell seen as its been a whm move since like forever (works as magic damage negation, long gcd as would be OP)
-stone pillar: seen as they have the stone dps moves maybe an aoe stone , less potency than holy but a cheaper mp cost , would save cc blizz2

No more abilities. We need new traits to upgrade the ones we have. People are already starting to feel the strain of ability overload after HW came out. I don't wanna think about how another 5 could fit in to my already over crowded hot bars.

Sorry about being such a downer.

I agree. Although I want at least one new skill for every job, if we could have some traits to upgrade some of our skills, it would be nice. Leave new skills to new classes...

I'd like to see an ability that changes Noct sect's card set to debuffs instead of buffs. Arrow would give slow instead of haste, bole would have the enemy take more damage, etc. It'd make running AST/AST a lot more viable, and make Noct sect have a use.

SCH:
Ruin becoming an aoe (increased mp cost with radius of bane)
Silent dusk upgraded to an aoe dps skill based on mind (lol I just want that gone)
Maybe 4th aetherflow
Dps increase on energy drain?
...
Remove antibody from virus?
Deployment tactics resets the duration of active feywinds/whispering dawn

I'd probably split it between new traits and abilities. Assuming 5 benefits total I might want something like this for scholar:

62 (Ability) Aetheric Focus: The next spell you cast within 10s will automatically have a critical effect. Instant Cast. Costs 1 Aetherflow. 30s CD.
64 (Trait) Improved Galvanize: When your galvanize effects expire due to reaching the end of their duration the subject is healed for 1/2 the remaining value of the effect.
66 (Ability) Ruin Burst: Deals Unaspected damage with potency 80 to target and all enemies near it. Increases the duration of your effects on enemies damaged by 10s. Instant Cast. Costs 1 Aetherflow. 12s CD.
68 (Trait) Quickening: 10% Chance each time you hit a target with Broil that your next Adloquium within 20s will have no cast time.
80 (Ability) Preperation Tactics: Reduces the duration of your next Galvanize to 5 seconds but increases the value of the effect by 50%. Instant Cast. 120s CD.

Players don't even utilize the skills they have now, or even read what they do. Traits ftw

If we had to get new skills then I would probably prefer more support based skills as we have enough healing spells atm I feel.

Though I would like them to focus around traits rather than skills

I was just discussing what we will get 60-70 my firend and I have a feeling we will be getting traits that upgrade our current abilities rather than new abilities. Reason being is that we have not received any new traits since ARR and some jobs are already loaded with abilities..adding new ones would be hell for people with gamepads.

That being said here is a couple of new traits I would love to see.

SCH- An extra atherflow stack; increased potency Succor; AoE Virus

WHM- Reduced Recast Time for Bendiction; Increased potency Regen; Extra Piety (like the Mind Traits)

Just a few I think would be good traits. Especially with more HP and stronger enemies going from 60-70.

I just want to get a little more dps love on sch. We've had the same dps kit since arr.
