[dev1032] Reinforcing Roles

[Fiosha_Maureiba]

Belongs in suggestions, placed in discussions for now since there's more traffic here for now.

Concept from Final Fantasy 13. Allowing us to pick a role at an Aethryte or Adventurer Guild.

Saboteur increases effectiveness, success rate, and duration of enfeebling effects, whether its Slow from Thaumaturge or Fracture from Marauder.

Synergist increases effectiveness and duration of enhancement effects, Protect from Conjurer or Speed Surge from Lancer.

Sentinel reduces damage received and increases enmity generation.

Medic increases effectiveness of healing effects such as Cure, regen effect from Sacrifice, or Second Wind from Pugilist.

Commando and Ravager are a bit tricky since there's no Chain and Stagger effect. If Battle Regiments were used more heavily, these could perhaps be factored into that. In the meantime, here's what it could be.

Commando increases slashing, bludgeon, piercing, and projectile damage.

Ravager increases elemental, astral, and umbral damage.

Just throwing the concept out there.

Or if another naming convention is used, but conveys similar status effects.

*casts Barfire* or as we call it in FF1 for NES, Afir.

I like the concept, I'd maybe tweak it a bit.

I know champions uses a fairly similar system.

[Nyrumi]

I've been thinking that a system similar to that of FFXIII would work closely with how 14 already works. This is a good idea imo.

Sorel Suggested this on Eorzeapedia. Basically requesting they implement a system that was a Mix of the Overdrive Build (FFX) and the Paradigm Shift (FFXIII) Where your role defined how you earned TP, A Healer earning TP for healing so they can use their Weapon skills in combat as well.

Oooh, I like the idea of role governing TP development (to some extent).

Although I see people using it to justify why their Conjurer won't heal, because they don't get TP for doing so as they are a damage dealing Conjurer, but still... I like the idea

If someones listed as a "DD" Role Conjurer then you just chose to invite them when thats what you need right?

Ah, had not considered the role being displayed as apart of the search results. But this would make sense.
