Thread: 7.0 DPS Wishlist

Maybe this is an unpopular opinion, but I think they should just overall massively cull party buffs.

It's not Dragon Sight that should be removed from Dragoon, it's Battle Litany. Monk's Brotherhood should only boost Monk's damage based on party's actions. Etc.

Really the only DPS jobs that should be able to buff the entire party at once are Bard and Dancer, and even Dancer's priorities should be more on freely timed buffs for their partner.

I feel like this sentiment is actually more common than people might think, but goes unvoiced. I see it cropping up more often these days. I think it's worth considering, and also trimming raid-wide survivability buffs from non-support jobs as well. Might help at least a little bit with that whole 'healers want to feel useful' problem I keep seeing from people.

• Cone Tenka Goken should come back!
• Iaijutsu should always require a Target

I agree... Basically just remove the %damage buffs from the 2min mark.

The 'supporting jobs' can still do %dmg support, but outside of the meta. Bard is known for buffing everyone for a small amount constantly. Dancer is known for buffing just 1 person, but for a bit more, constantly. Astrologian is known for buffing 1 person in set intervals.

Imagine if there's not a 2min meta anymore, how card sorting suddenly becomes more engaging - and even with more granularity. Unbound by a global meta, a good AST would need to have knowledge about the job burst moments to decide who's getting the next card. Even Dancer swapping partners right before the next Standard Step could have some interesting optimization.

Being a reaper main there are a few changes Id like to see
1:Arcane Circle buff that allows you to use Plentiful harvest after 6 seconds be changed to 5. 2.49 GCD I can feel the slight drift in the opener it's bad.
2: Change the sound effect for Shadow of Death(Single target) I'm sorry but this sound effect doesn't fit the class. I drown out the sound effect with music because it makes me cringe.

• Kassatsu enabling Hyosho Ranryu and Goka Mekkyaku at lvl50 and may get a Boost Trait at lvl76 so Muscle Memory can properly develope.. since it's so annoying to get your Muscle Memory punished for being in sublvl76 synced content

An ability for MCH that lets him shoot left or right with his rifle or shotgun and flings him to the other side. Basically like Rufus in FF7:Remake.

RDM: A way to fix imbalance mana. Like every minute, there's an ability to transfer mana from one to the other and make it balance. For example, If you have 80 white and 40 black, the ability will make you have 60 white and 60 black.

This could be a decent idea if it came with other kit chances that made mana balancing far more difficult than it is. As it is now though imbalanced mana is something that happens far less than once per any encounter. Do we really need to make the management even less consequential?
