Right, but we don't have three parties here. We have four parties here. So the example would be one wanting to tuition rates to increase, one wanting to keep them as they are, one wanting them to be cut, and one wanting them abolished. That was my point, we'd have to ask the question with ONLY three options before we could look at them as only three options.

Since we have all four, we need to work in the context of that.

It's also interesting to me that results leveled off a few days ago, but have started coming in again all more negative. EXCEPT (ironically?) for SCH, where they're oddly positive.

Anyway, the problem with the names "Mini" and "Major" is, again, it depends on who you ask. For example, your idea is to add a short CD GCD, an opposite Misery that heals that you can only get by doing damage, making the DoT duration shorter so it's more difficult to maintain/juggle. Depending on the person, those would be Major changes. Minor would be something like "Add Aero 3 and call it a day". A really minor tweak that doesn't really alter the gameplay experience much or at all. Honestly, a shielding Lily spender would be less of a rework. Adding Aero 3 (though at least half of that has got to be people missing the animation, lol - that's why I support it. ) would already arguably do the Dia thing anyway, and could have a 15 sec CD and 15 sec duration and do both of those things at the same time.

I also doubt they'll ever add in an ability called Cleric anything, just because of the legacy of that name. Besides, that's basically a slightly different Presence of Mind, isn't it? Just making PoM 60 sec CD would achieve the same result. We don't want to end up with PLD where we have FoF and Requiescat that may as well be one ability but aren't because...button bloat. There's no real good answer for that one otherwise.

I also am not sure WHM needs a new spell. Though I think (as I said in the Healer forums) having Lilies work as some kind of Eukrasia toggle might actually be an interesting solution since new heals could be added over time as just variations on the GCD heals across the board for WHM instead of as distinct abilities/buttons. But that (or making all GCD heals on WHM generate 1/3rd Blood Lily) WOULD be more in the area of major overhaul. Oddly, I'd be fine with that if it was along the lines I said before.

I guess, for better or worse, I'm a "glass half full" kind of guy. I see 5, I think "pretty decent; nothing to write home about, but not bad by any means".

EDIT:

I wish they never got rid of Aero 3. It had amazing animation.

Hehehe, knew it!

I'm right there with ya, though!
