Ok so me and my fc mate was simply brainstorming what would a lb4 be like and what would the classes have as their lb4. so a lb4 is 4 bars but they are actually slightly more smaller then lb3 bars. we thought that come 4.0 theyll put it in the game along with some intense lv70 fights which could require a lb4. so here are some of the thoughts we had about the classes:
Paladins: palys would get a phalanx group shield put around them as well as all of the party member but instead made up of other paladins.
Warriors: while their actual lb is useful, visually it might suck. wars would get a war cry and that war cry would give everyone a significant boost to everything except defense. defense stays the same. instead though your health pool increases, your mp increases, and (this might cause some controversy) you tp pool increases by 1,000. as well as your dps, heals, etc.
Dark Knights: They summon the Dark everywhere and it soon starts to cover everyone in Dark armor sort shadow like. while yes its like the lb3 the lb4 actually makes the party become slightly bigger versions of themselves and look all like a shadow demon complete with wings. another one for dark knight we thought of was have everyone's dark version come out of them wearing the Dark Knight eso armor and they protect them by blocking the attack with a Dark shield.
Dragoon: So im pretty sure alot of dragoons would love it if they got the Nidhogg/Estinian Form from the nid fight. so i thought that they should get the same form except it will be all white with gold due to Hraesvelgrs eye we got.
Monk: We was thinking manks should get like a spirit form and do a 10 hit strike but while in spirit form they move around the enemy hitting them with different techniques. Sort of like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOag_JA18ro
Ninjas: They turn the entire arena black, just pitch black, and then they do a 1,000 hit slash attack that all you see is the flashes from the blade. basically similiar to the haircut guy except you see the slashes were the boss should be at.
Bard: i thought they should get a song and once that song finishes playing, they end up summoning Artemis and Apollo to come from the heavens and together shoot a twin arrow made of 1 night arrow and 1 sunlight arrow just as you shoot yours.
Machinist: Ok so this is were we kinda of went with two directions. So for one we was thinking of a Lazer cannon thatll appear that youll shoot with OR when you activate the lb, your turrent will fly over to you and fuse with you giving you a "iron man" chest and then youll do a "iron man" chest beam.
Black Mage: ok so you know how they already have the whole meteor thing going on. So why not add more meteors to it. Sort of like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7X-MHhRC-o0
Summoners: so this one we thought itll be cool to have a channeled lb. so you know how we have the bahumat deathflare thing. how bout instead of the simple wings and deathflare, we summon the top half of bahumat and then we make him do a deathflare beam at the boss and we the players can actually guide the beam.
Scholars: So for them they summon a garden. and from that garden dozens of fairy's come up and heal everyone or rez everyone of course but they also provide a buff to the part where you get a buff. and in that buff your just invincible for about 5 secs. as well as you dnt get the rez debuff.
Astrologins: They call on the Stars to shine on the team and give thm the same buff as schalors but they also get a buff that gives everyone every card buff for about 1min.
White Mage: For whm we couldnt really think of one so i was hoping for your thoughts on what a lb4 for whm could be and what buff they give.
So thats the sum of what me and my fc mate was just thinking. Your thoughts, concerns, questions. While i know that lb4 sounds wierd for some, i was hoping for a simple discussion on what lb4 could be.
