What skill(s) would you change for your class if you could?

[BucklesTrespen]

For Monk I'd change Riddle of Fire. Riddle of Wind. Riddle of Earth. Fire Tackle. Wind Tackle. Earth Tackle. Deep Meditation. Brotherhood.

So, basically everything we got in SB.

yeah those tackles were like........they can be used in regular pulls in dungeons but like do we really need them? These tackles don't add much to monk. But I think the problem really comes from how unnecessary wind and earth stances. Staying in fire stance is best way to do most things in the end. Earth and wind should be changed in a way where wind builds up greased lightning faster while earth stance should maybe make the greased lightning run down slower or something or give a chakra build up boost.

Now that's how you make wind and earth monk fun. Cycling through the elements will have meaning with a change like that.

Background Changes:

• Strikes which have a chance greater than 100% to trigger their effect instead convert the excess chance into additional effectiveness. If a strike has a 120% chance to strike critically for 150% damage, it will instead have a 100% chance to strike critically for (100+(50*1.2) --> 160% damage. This primarily affects only Life Surge, Reassemble, Kassatsu, and Straighter Shot presently, but should future-proof later auto-crits.

Bard

• Straight Shot has been reworked through a new Archer trait given at level 2, Honed Aim, which causes critical strikes to temporarily inflate your Critical Strike stat, with this bonus amount fading over time, at a % of bonus over base critical strike chance per second and an additional % of the total bonus per second. Exact numbers pending. Straight Shot itself now deals only 120 potency, but has a greatly increased critical strike chance, amounting to the higher relative potency with no bonus available, and generally equal relative potency for the second shot, relative to Heavy Shot. This bonus is now represented via the Job Gauge (or, Class Gauge, in this case), rather than the exorbitant remaining duration of Straight Shot.
• Barrage no longer reads "Additional effects added only once." Repertoire generation from (Improved) Empyreal Arrow and the auto-critical strikes from Straighter Shot now occur for all three strikes.
• Repertoire now has a 50% chance to trigger from each critical strike. Multi-target attacks can only contribute one critical strike.
• Songs no longer require targets, but no longer have activation potency. This has been compensated for elsewhere in the Bard toolkit.
• Songs no longer have cooldowns. Instead, they use mana upon activation and at rates which increase per second of use and decrease per second of disuse. In this way, they still cycle much as before, but with greater flexibility, and no longer leave part of the Bard toolkit seemingly unfinished until level 52.
• Songs again have their own raid effects, which are spread and adjusted by Battle Voice, which is now a toggle given at level 35, in place of Foe Requiem. Crescendo replaces Battle Voice as the level 50 CD skill, and now has synergy with certain traited effects.
• Note that this toggle version of Battle Voice not only increases the range and maximum rate of effectiveness of songs (increasing their costs proportionately to their increased use by the party), but also their basic drain rates. It must therefore be used sparingly, though its maximum output is heavily increased. The slight majority of time will be spent without sharing raid effects, especially if needing to maximize a situationally superior song beyond its normal fading point for the Bard's own damage output. These song effects do not directly overlap with Refresh or Tactician.
• Each song now makes use of a resource aura, from which Song effects are siphoned as to narrow their gap in contribution between small and large parties. Crescendo delimits these, but causes mana to be spent instead.
• Mage's Ballad used during Battle Voice causes the Bard to emit an aura called The Sage's Insights, improving the critical strike and proc chances for allies within 20 yalms. Each proc or critical strike generated where it otherwise would not have drains from The Sage's Insight at amounts based on potency (note that skills like Sacred Soil via Fey Succor have no potency, and therefore no cost), while The Sage's Insight in turn regenerates over time. Capacity and rate of regeneration tripled and range doubled during Crescendo.
• Army's Paean used during Battle Voice causes the Bard to emit an aura called The Soldiers' March, improving HP, MP, and TP regeneration rates for and reducing the effectiveness of status effects against party members within 20 yalms. [In Progress]
• The Wanderer's Minuet used during Battle Voice causes the Bard to emit an aura called ... [In Progress]
• Repertoire generation over cap now feeds the Song's respective resource; this is not strong enough to be viable in most situations, but mitigates the wastefulness of Mage's Ballad in high-proc situations.
• Rain of Death is now given as a level 45 Archer ability. Bard now instead gains Reprise at level 45.
• This new level 45 ability, Reprise has three forms: Reprise, Shift, and Turn, in Ballad, Paean, and Minuet, respectively. These effects, unless clicked off, last beyond the end of their respective Songs, allowing for carried-over synergy between them.
• The level 52 Ability/Trait, Pitch Perfect, now causes three up to three shots (essentially, a Bloodletter each) to be fired at once, each critical strike therein doubling the critical strike chance of those that follow, allowing better synergy with the revision to Repertoire and better fitting its name. It now replaces Bloodletter while Wanderer's Minuet is active, and automatically supplies one Repertoire each time Bloodletter and Rain of Death would have been refreshed.
• A third level 52 Ability/Trait, Dissonance, has been added, which fires a shot at a target, causing 70/110/150 potency to it and damage equal to 50%/100%/150% tick each of your periodic effects against it. Enemies nearby receive half that damage, accounted for via their own periodic effects. This replaces Rain of Death during Wanderer's Minuet.
• Refulgent Arrow has been revamped. It no longer shares cast conditions with Straighter Shot. It now generates 2 to 8 arrows based on your current Honed Aim value. A graphic has been added to show how many arrows can be formed. Each hits individually for 60-5n potency. (60/55/50/45... for a total of 340 potency). It massively capitalizes upon what you'd have been doing anyways, both through damage (up to 340 potency), and potential Repertoire growth or overcap resource growth.

[TaranTatsuuchi]

This is more of a change I would have liked from before Stormblood but...


Ninja

Dancing edge and its animation would be the default damage combo
Aeolian Edge and its animation would be the huton refreshing combo
Armor crush and its animation would be the slashing resistance down combo


But since the combos were changed around with Stormblood, I would settle for getting Dancing Edge's animation back instead of Armor Crush's animation.

I'd like to apply divine benison to the whole party, lets say if i got 3 lilies that it would stack to the whole group. Since they removed stoneskin from WHM, we dont have a shield anymore. Oh and bring back cleric stance please.

This, I would love for Divine Benison to give whole party the buff. I would also like to see Divine Benison give extra buffs depending on the amount of Lillies that the player has. 1 Lilly = what we have right now, 2 Lillies = the buff becomes partywide, 3 Lillies = Partywide buff + extra something like Haste.

Tether. Make it do something useful.
