    Replace One Job Ability With Another

    Okay so how about a just for funsies thread?

    Replace one ability from your main job with an ability from another job. What do you choose and why?

    Hardmode: Cure 1 and the like have been automatically upgraded to Cure 2, etc via traits like they should have been, so you can't replace those. Summon Carbuncle is removed and also not replaceable.

    This assumes any sort of gauge you need for that ability will be supplied in *some way*.

    I assume we're treating this as a swap you can do at endgame, so we don't have to play "figure out how this would work in leveling" or when sync'd down?

    In other words, could I dump Medica on WHM and replace it with, say, SGE's Pneuma, without worrying about the fact that Medica is your only AoE heal down in most ARR dungeons?

    I aim to make my posts engaging and entertaining, even when you might not agree with me. And failing that, I'll just be very, VERY wordy.

    Replace Flamethrower with Kardia. Now that you generate 10 heat per AoE, Flamethrower is actually a DPS *loss*, so its totally useless, and Kardia would provide MCH with an edge in raids that it desperately needs.

    I still don't understand how and why Flamethrower doesn't interact with Heat. Like... it's literally fire.

    It really would just boil down to this, wouldn't it? Lol.

    I'd sure as hell give up Riddle of Wind to get Reassemble on MNK so I can consistently crit Phantom Rush.

    Shouldn't we at least recognize the difference in effective ppm? The skill was made for MCH's kit, and therefore 409 ppm, rather than the more than double it'd grant MNK or WHM.

    Anyways... replace Living Shadow's (functionality) with old Bunshin's functionality. Duplicate attacks (at quarter damage but full resource generation). Call it Dark Passenger or Shadowskin instead if necessary. Trades a glorified DoT for a less bug-prone actually decent power-up.
