Thread: Dancer 6.0 Speculation

I don't really see the need for a single target Saber Dance. In the interest of saving on button bloat I'd rather see Saber Dance have a higher potency if no other targets are hit by it.

More Esprit usage would be nice. Maybe a move inspired by Quick/Box/Stutter Steps in FFXI could use it. 180s recast that applies a debuff to the enemy. Maybe it could even start at an earlier level and start the Esprit part of the job earlier than 80 - perhaps right when you can use Closed Position or shortly thereafter. It could apply a Blind effect and later gain a trait that adds increased damage taken similar to Trick/Chain - maybe a mid-way point could add a Slow effect. Or maybe it could echo an old dancer move in the series and randomly apply Blind or Slow and maybe even the increased damage taken could be random between a flat damage taken boost, a crit rate boost, or a direct rate boost once it's added via trait.

Dancers always had some form of debuffing which is absent in XIV. It would be nice to see that present hete even if it's nothing major (like Blind/Slow).
