Some spells that will be nice to see in game

[Gemina]

Haste - Just give it to WHM already. The other two healers already have versions of it (Fey Wind, The Arrow). Put a mechanic behind it that can upgrade it to AoE, and BOOM! WHM finally has some non-game breaking raid utility while keeping the 'pure' healer intact.

Stop - This is more wishful thinking because the concept of the spell Stop doesn't work well in this game because it's basically a hard casted stun, which means tanks and DPS can do it better and faster. So instead, they could just simply change the tooltip on Celestial Opposition to read that it freezes enemies in time instead of stun, and change the on screen status effect from Stun to Celestial Opposition.... they kind of should have done this from the get go especially considering the nature of the ability when doing the AST questline. :\

Osmose - If Geomancer is introduced, I think I would like to see this spell as one of their MP management skills. Might be able to give it to DRK as well. Just not quite sure how to implement it.

It already exists on DRK - it is called Syphon Strike. In the german version Syphon Strike is even called Osmose.

Hopefully the devs catch my drift what I'm wanting. ;D

Edited it with more. I sooo want a quirky defensive support tank. It doesnt have to be the top DPS tank, but it should be interesting and bring lots of utility, similar to PLD, but more focused on Magical attacks (Unlike DRK who mainly focuses on Augmenting physical attacks with Dark Magic.]

Ah, touché. However, SS is a weaponskill and requires Hard Slash to activate the drain effect essentially making it cost 2 GCDs. Osmose would give DRKs more readily access to the MP drain. Though as a spell, it would have to be casted; or maybe not as I think Abysmal Drain is considered a spell. It would not cause damage or add to the DRKs enmity, so it would not be optimal for a DRK to burn a bunch of GCDs on it. The idea behind it would be to keep DRKs burst damage going for longer, or to give them some quick MP if they need to go back into Grit.

To add, I would love for DRKs to get some kind of ability that uses Force Lightning as the animation. HOMG #DRK4LIFE

[Mirakumi]

I'm a big tactics A2 fan so bringing back for example:

Elemental Magic:
"The craft of the ELEMENTALIST enables her to call on the spirits of nature."

Fire Whip: Hurl a ball of flame at the target. Deals fire damage and DISABLES the target.

Earth Heal: Harness the energies of leaf and loam to heal the target. Restores HP.

White Flame: Summon a divine flame to heal units in a small area.

Sliprain: Drench the target with driving rain. Deals water damage and SLOWS target.

Thunderous Roar: Strike the target with a bolt of lightning. Deals lightning damage and SILENCES target.

Shining Air: Buffet the target with a shining gale. Deals wind damage and BLINDS the target.

ReRaise
Utsusemi/Blink
En-spells (rdm sword spells)
STONESKIN
Haste
Slow
Astral/Umbral (v1 spells)
Quake/Tornado/Flood/etc
Stun
Elemental Spikes
Paralyze
Phalanx
Refresh
Comet
Drain/Aspir
Stat Boost Spells
Reflect
Bar-spells

Unfortunately most of these would mean they have to completely rework existing and future battles which they wont do because Twelve forbid they add complexity, strategy or variation to anything.

It would be interesting if either WHM or a new healer got something similar (with maybe a 5-7m CD, hell maybe even 10m so you only use it once on a raid boss), again as a fail-safe just in case you mess up mechanics and it frees your healer buddy from having to raise you or you don't have to force a wipe in 4-man content (without a RDM or SMN).

I thought of making it available to ALL healers but at a prohibitively high mana cost, rather than super-high cooldown. If it will be available only to one healer, especially if that healer will be White Mage and if the skill will be a cooldown instead of spell, that healer will nearly completely push out others from progress/learning parties. Having it limited ONLY to cast on self is also pointless. It's also against the spirit of Final Fantasy.

There's so many spells that I'd love to see, but seeing how FFXIV is structured, I'm not sure any of them would work since things are either: All Physical / Magical, + flavor text; or for the sake of "Balance" and or "This Job would be more wanted" due to such spell"... anyways:

• VerHaste or Haste - RDM
  
• VerFreeze or VerFlood- AoE Ancient Spell for RDM
  
• Enchanted Sword Skills
  
• Banish -
  
• Dia - DoT Holy Damage
  
• Paralyze
  
• Slow / Stop [A Stun Ability for Mages]

Of course, Blue Magic, if they add Blue Mage!
Time Magic would be fun to see too.

Other spells from the FFXI World.

[AvenoMatt]

I want Blight, it's the spell the summoner from the lv65 smn quest used on us.

Also VerWater and VerBlizzard cause rdm really needs a more interesting aoe rotation.

[Kurando]
