Challenge: Recreate your job in equal or greater complexity using 12 or fewer actions

[Sandpark]

Power Modifier Gauge:
Apply a charge gauge to any job that has tiers for certain skills

But here is a preview for Black Mage

Fire, Ice, and Lightning use a charge system rather than separate buttons. A visual indicator and vibration feature for controllers will let you know when a tier powers up one level.

Tap Fire Action= Fire 1
Hold Fire Action for 1.5 seconds= Fire II
Hold Fire Action for 2.5 seconds= Fire III
Hold Fire Action for 3.5 seconds= Fire IV

Charge system for Blizzard.

Charge system for Lightning as well.

• All elemental spells are all instant cast. The cast time is governed by the power modifier gauge.
• Double Click any Fire Or Ice Spell Action results in transpose effect, no dedicated transpose button.
• Make sleep work more on stuff besides the main boss, no off the bat resists.
• Scathe Is now an extra additional auto attack that can follow up any lightning spell with a chance to proc rate which can be increased through gear.
• Freeze only castable during Umbral Ice and Flare only castable under Astral Fire, the button changes depending on what umbral you are currently in.

If the double click is wonky when transposing, they could add a two button keybind or 2 controller buttons in conjunction to facilitate transpose.


With this system:

• Fire Spells all on one hotbar slot
• Ice Spells all on one hotbar slot
• Lightning Spells all on one hotbar slot
• Flare and Freeze share the same hotbar slot

New Traits:

Aftermath- A dot tick follows the cast of the respective spell, fire would leave aftermath embers, ice would leave aftermath frost. The dot tick last 9 seconds.

Wrath Of The Sorceror- Anytime a party member dies black mage gains +10% cast speed and +10 critical damage for 8 seconds.

Yes, I went there. Some thread was wanting blm utility even mentioning their own raise. Screw raise...
As Black Mage I am no healer, I am no support, I am the public enemy number one, the image of DPS.

If I am black mage. I want the epitome of destruction which gets more destructive when crap hits the fan for the party.

I could be off on my count, but that trim's off about 13 actions in terms of hotbar actions occupying multiple spaces while still retaining the core of what those skills do in my opinion.
