Thread: Desired changes for every dps job on 7.0

General
- Just completely remove positionals at this point, please.

Dragoon
- Idk, it's getting reworked.

Monk
- Disciplined Fist increased from 15s to 18s
- Form Shift before lvl 50
- Elixir Field upgraded to an action that looks visually pleasing
- Anatman changed to grant one solar or lunar nadi (60 second recast still)

Samurai
- Kaiten back
- Ikishoten changes to Ogi Namikiri during Ogi Namikiri Ready

Ninja
- Remove Huraijin and make Armor Crush grant Huton

Reaper
- Rearrange actions to fit 10 or 20 levels lower so the job doesn't suck at lower levels

Bard
- Songs don't need a target
- Sidewinder grants 2 stacks of Repertoire
- Barrage works on AoE and grants Shadowbite Ready
- Warden's Paeon grants Straight Shot Ready and Shadowbite Ready
- Downtime action that fills the Soul Gauge and/or regenerates the party's MP
- Weaponskill that costs 20 Soul Gauge (but doesn't consume all the Soul Gauge) and - deals fixed damage that is higher than Refulgen Arrow (340 potency or something)

Machinist
- Automaton Queen changes to Queen Overdrive during the effect
- Noise Blaster and Flash added in some way as actions

Dancer
- Standard Step, Technical Step and Tillana have 25y range (or give us a single target 15y action so we can measure the distance)

Black Mage
- Paradox is instant cast during fire phase
- 2 charges on Leylines
- Thundercloud procs stack, increasing the damage of the DoT applied

Summoner
- 3 Aetherflow charges
- 30s or 45s second DoT and AoE DoT using Aetherflow
- Ramuh, Shiva and Leviathan during Phoenix Phase

Red Mage
- 4th Finisher
- Verraise increases the MP cost of the next Verraise by 2400 for 60s
- AoE proc for Verthunder II or Veraero II
- Enchanted Reprise costs 20 White and Black Mana and grants a Mana Stack

As a Summoner, I want complete freedom for Radiant Aegis. How it is now it animation locks and you can't use it with your big summons out. I'd rather eat the raid wide because I misused my charges of my shield, then it being blocked because of the aforementioned issues with it.

As much as I’d love to have a party MP regen on Bard, Stormblood kinda put the devs off ever having something like that in the game. It just breaks the balance completely (apparently).

I feel like the Soul Gauge action wouldn’t be used very often. Apex lines up pretty perfectly with raid buffs when used properly, and a gauge spender would just interfere with having the gauge aligned properly. I do wish they’d do something to change that though; it feels pointless to me having an entire job gauge dedicated to a single ability (Scholar’s fairy gauge also comes to mind). The Soul Gauge currently feels like an afterthought.

I don’t see any reason why not to have Warden’s Paean grant a proc, but at the same I worry that it’s then just a dps tool which, completely kinda defeats the purpose of the ability. ‘Sorry you got doomed and the healer’s dead but I need my procs man’ would feel kinda bad. If it was still an actual gcd spell I could see the proc making more sense though as a kind of ‘compensation’ for the lost gcd from cleansing.

Lastly Barrage proc’ing Shadowbite feels like something they should’ve done ages ago lol. There’s nothing worse than popping buffs in a dungeon, start AoE’ing, no Shadowbite…still no Shadowbite…buffs have fallen off…cries lol. That said, I don’t know if making Barrage work on AoE itself (Ladonsbite) might make it too strong whenever there’s more than one enemy, so I’m not sure how that would work out

A lot of these suggestions are adding unnecessary complexity to jobs without actually addressing any of the current issues wrong with them right now.

No I'm not. A 4th finisher would fit perfectly in his 20s buff window.

Res Mage is already punished by not doing damage for having a broken ability such as verraise. The idea would be to make it less broken and add more damage to their spells. Btw Enchanted Reprise is already useless, this is me trying to fix the problem.

That's the reason why I added the weaponskill I mentioned later, with that you would never have to use Apex Arrow outsite burst windows.
