    Seiton, the elephant in the room

    On its own Seiton has a lot of problems. It's not like dropping somebody to half HP and lower is exactly hard and you at least secure a free kill and don't waste the LB. It's just one of those "Guess I die" kinds of LB. On top of it it benefits from an absolutely insane range.

    The icing on the cake is that this single target LB can actually turn into truly game changing when you get the opportunity of getting chain kills to wipe a full team, which I do believe was the original intent behind the skillplay of Seiton.

    But this is just... too much, I feel.

    Meteodrive, or screw you ranged players

    Very fast to charge, doesn't care about guard, and you can essentially press two buttons (Enlightenment and Meteodrive), and add a riddle of fire just before to extend the range of potential targets, and you'll kill most ranged jobs unless they have one form of mitigation or another up, and even then, they'll be so low HP, and stunned for the whole duration of the LB on top of it, that it's pretty much "I guess I die" as well. If they don't, they'll be cleaned up most of the time after anyway. This LB is also especially egregious when it just allows a monk to completely shut down a high damage dealer like BLM or SMN for the entirety of a game: I am not speaking about a MNK harassing constantly (if your team is not full of tools, they'll deal with it), but a MNK just showing up when you start your LB, popping LB and instakill you, and going away.

    Not only that, but you can also use it against bigger targets as well if you combine it with phantom rush and stun. It requires a bit more skill however, but yeah. On top of it, people are rarely at full HP at all times during a game. Also benefits from an insane range, which doesnt require to gap close to the target after enlightenment, unlike phantom rush.
