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

[Khalithar]

For nin, I would change Doton to have the same potency but a shorter duration so that immediately recasting it when mudra cooldown is up doesn't clip the last 1-2 ticks. I'd also make Huton a passive trait you get when you get your third mudra, and change Armor Crush in to something more interesting.

For tanks, remove the damage penalty on tank stance entirely while locking defensive cooldowns behind it and adding more powerful active mitigation tools to it to make you want to be in tank stance more while also making the gameplay much more engaging for the tanking role.

For brd/drg/mch, get rid of straight shot/heavy thrust/hot and fold their damage boosts in to the job or add the buffs to their normal dps rotation in the same way sam's buffs/debuffs naturally fall in to it's Sen generation as a baseline.

For smn, I'd just add a 1-2 minute cooldown that instantly does the remaining damage of their dots on the target instantly while consuming the dots at the same time (little hard to word it, I think you get the basic idea though) so a smn that knows a fight really well can use it before certain jump mechanics and not waste dps uptime.

For blm, I'd turn Enochian in to a passive and remove the timers on astral/umbral. I'd also have Fire 3/Blizzard 3 replace Fire 1/Blizzard 1 respectively while maintaining the same casting time/mana cost as their level 1 variants.

For machinist, I would have it so you could set the turrets to follow you.

[Kyp]

For MCH i would have it so you get the gauss barrel indicator back on your status bar, instead of having to look at the spot you put it on ur hotbar

[Khalithar]

For machinist, I would have it so you could set the turrets to follow you.

Then it wouldn't be a turret, it would be a drone.

On second thought, a secondary drone gunner that follows you would be awesome

Id change tbh make it a little longer and cost way less mp please no reason it should cost a dark arts

I believe you missed out a key word lol.

However, I'm going to guess it was the MP cost of Dark Passenger? If so, I also think this ability is needlessly MP expensive. The MP cost sometimes makes me hesitate to use it to blind a bunch of trash mobs! I usually just prefer to use Dark Arts > Abyssal Drain. So yes, Dark Passenger should have no MP cost in my opinion, it's a very bland skill w/o Dark Arts.

I'd remove Verraise and add lost 'utility' to damage. I did not sign up to be a professional magical babysitter.

SE, please give BRDs their fire circle back...
Also, would love to have the Straighter Shot proc changed to Refulgent Arrow when RA procs—there is only one instance were you would ever Straighter Shot over Refulgent, and such can usually be avoided by staying on top of both your SS and buff timers.

Take Esuna off the role skills and give it back to each job—way too many instances of Rabanastre where neither healer has Esuna, and commence lots of people getting stuck with the bind from triggering Embrace AOEs.

Also, can AST have Luminiferous Aether back?

I’m a little confused on this one. So all you want is the icon display to change? Not sure about you, but I never look at my buff bar for the proc, but rather the hot bar itself. Or are you saying change the Straight Shot GCD to Refulgent Arrow every time it procs?

Machinist..Machinist...Machinist

1. Gauss barrel
Add Gauss Barrel version 2 as a skill you can place in your hotbar. This Gauss barrel is invisible and is invisible for everyone not just yourself.

2. Gauss barrel removal and penalty
After overheating your gauss barrel will not go away and instead you just take the -damage penalty. Re-equipping gauss barrel all the time is not fun at all. It just adds too much management for a class that's already overloaded with annoyances like moving the turret, flamethrower, and heat balancing.

3. Flamethrower
A real use for it. If we really want to balance heat we have heat stabilizer already. It would be better if we actually used flamethrower during overheat to do extra damage instead of using overheat for wildfire. Wildfire would just be used in situations other than overheat. This would be such a fun change in my opinion. Right now lining up wildfire with overheat makes the job too unappealing except for those very few people that actually play the class. With this change they would just adapt and use wildfire the old way like in HW and not be pushed to the edge with this overheat + wildfire management. And it would give Flamethrower a real purpose.

In simple terms, make flamethrower fun!

Not really a job skill, but I'd like True North to have a shorter cooldown and less duration. It's pretty rare that you'd actually have a whole 15s of missing positionals unless your tanks are dying and the boss is spinning coz aggro is being passed around. Maybe a 5s duration with 90s cooldown with make it more useful. 60s cooldown would make it too OP, imo.

No, I want the Straighter Shot icon (proc) to change to Refulgent Arrow. Since so many people complain about button bloat (even though BRD doesn't have this...I have empty spaces on my hotbars for BRD), plus it's a change I've want since SB launched. You never Straighter over Refulgent at level 70 except in one very rare situation, which can be easily avoided if you are watching your timers. So why not change the Straighter Shot icon to RA? I use the term proc to describe the button because it procs the dotted yellow line around the Straight Shot button.

I keep my eyes on not only my hotbars, but my buff bar, and the bosses' bar to keep up with all my timers--hotbars to watch for procs, buff bar to watch for important raid buffs so I can snapshot my DoTs, and bosses' bar to refresh DoTs. I'm not talking about changing the icon on your buff bar though--I want the actual Straighter Shot button changed. I'm...not sure what was so hard to understand about my post though... O.o

For brd/drg/mch, get rid of straight shot/heavy thrust/hot and fold their damage boosts in to the job or add the buffs to their normal dps rotation in the same way sam's buffs/debuffs naturally fall in to it's Sen generation as a baseline.

I'm curious how you would want this implemented in BRD, because BRD does not have a 1-2-3 like combo like SAM. A BRD's rotation is more priority, so unless it's added into the DoTs, or placed on Heavy Shot (the button we press the most), I'm not sure how you would incorporate SS's crit buff if SS was removed.
