New 2hr Abilities What Would You Like To See

Takagi's point was based on the fact that Spirit Surge involves killing/despawning/absorbing your wyvern. If damage dealt is double your wyvern's HP, the damage would be 0 because your dead wyvern doesn't have any HP.

your wyvern should feed you tp~

What makes me sad is people suggest magic invincibility for pld, when aegis plds are basically already like that. Basically how about giving the jobs with an offensive 2 hour, a defensive 2 hour and vice versa.

Paladin: Shield Rage - Beats the enemy on the head with the shield for 1 minute.

Users with aegis do more damage!

Rdm- Runic: All magical damage directed at any party member will be absorbed by the rdm's weapon. Duration of 60 seconds and during the time the rdm will have 50% mdt bonus able to break mdt cap. and for "balance" weapon must be out but you wouldn't be able to autoattack at all.

Dancer - Grants regain effect for 1-3 minutes?. The TP recovery rate would be pretty much like if you were brewing.

=/ I'm 99DNC with maxed DNC merits, 2.5 peices of +2 emp gear, I leveled this job the old way, only the last 20 levels were done in Abyssea, etc etc and through all this time on my DNC I've used my 2HR maybe 2-3 times.. Well I've used it more but those 2 or 3 times are the times where it was actually needed and it was used as it was intended to be.

Dancer's current 2 hour has literally got to be the one 2 hour I use the least. Even my BST and RDM have places for their 2HR's where it's almost a requirement to use them...

i'm pretty sure no one read my list of ideas ;_;

I did but it's hard to process what you type with half of your avatars.

So wait, you're complaining because SE would make a 2hr ability that makes a relic obsolete?

Say hi to NIN mythic and SE changing NIN mijin gakure.

Oh, and to the anyone who in advance says to any suggestion made anywhere "that would suck". Get ready to say it when the real one comes out.

I was, and as much as they destroy what it used to be able to do, still am at heart a RDM. I cried a little with every new toy they gave us. Tier 2 enfeebles merited instead of just high level spells. Level II Enspells that only work on first hit. Composure designed to help our melee prowess. Temper. Gravity II. Shall I continue?

BLU: Turns you into a soulflayer and gives you access to your entire spell list for 60 seconds.

Turns you into a soulflayer and covers you in annoying ice spikes fml!

I've used my DNC 2hr seriously like ... once? and that was during the LB fight lol.

Theorycraft always puts hopes above reality. I try to keep my hopes low when it comes to s/e so they have an easier time hitting the bar.

You are only gaining 20 more skill points by moving from B+ to A+. Let's look at what this gives us:
Dark Magic - Further reduces resist rate for Dark Magic spells
Divine Magic - lol...
Elemental Magic - Further reduces resist rate for Elemental Magic spells
Enfeebling Magic - Further reduces resist rate for Enfeebling Magic spells
Enhancing Magic - 4 more resistance for Bar- spells, .69 more damage absorbed by Phalanx, 1 more damage added to En- spells, +2 Regen/+.2 Regain/+1.3% Haste for Embrava, assuming you're not already capped.
Healing Magic - 20 more HP healed by Cure spells, 30 with capped Cure Potency

So you're only really benefiting from the Enhancing Magic boost.

I can honestly say I don't know of many/any situations where casting an AOE helix or Nuke would be beneficial to the party/situation. If that's what is needed, you'll be bringing a BLM to -ja/-ga3 instead. As for Paralyze/Slow/Silence (these are really the only enfeebles I could see being AOE'd) it would be extremely situational. I can't think of any situations that would be overly useful, off hand. Haste should have always been Accessionable, but that was done for a reason (I have to keep telling myself that).

On the Enlightenment-esque idea, the whole point of Enlightenment, in my view at least, is to be able to cast an emergency spell when you absolutely need it. If you're in a nuking situation and need a quick Reraise or something of that nature. I personally have never used Enlightenment once, never had the need to. I can just as easily switch arts and come back to whatever it is I'm doing.

All it sounds like you're giving SCH is a much shorter Tabula Rasa with a few gimmicks that would be fun to play around with but not make THAT much use of.

My own thoughts on SCH 2-hour:

Monk 2hr: Perfect Stance: All normal attacks critically countered + 100% guard when hit with ws's.

Want some cheese with that whine?

30 seconds of magic invulnerability every 2 hours is totally comparable to an Aegis.

RNG 1:00 - 1:30 of "100% rapid shot activation" with "95% Ranged Accuracy" and "100% recycle"

RNG could then gear for all out RNG ATTK and pull off some nasty weapon skills without having to worry about missing or running out of ammo mid-2hr. Also would allow the use of specialty ammo, if they were to come out with more updated versions.

[WHM] Reviviscence - Removes "Weakened" status for party members within the area of effect.

[PLD] M-Barrier - Become impervious to magical damage for 45 seconds. During this time, all hostile spells cast at nearby allies will be drawn to you.

[BLU] Immortal Submission - Activates all known Blue Magic for regular use for 45 seconds. Provides job traits and status enhancements from all spells during this time.

(I think all three of these are realistic, fair, and fitting for their respective jobs.

And yes, I realize I already brought the BLU one forward, but I just thought of a name for it.)

Its called accuracy. Look at the devolution of the job since 2009. Look at tier 1 enfeebles- all available via using RDM as a subjob- with level 75 cap, which leads to the question why tier II enfeebles are merited spells? And why does a good function job ability like Composure that increases buff duration give melee prowess? Explain to me why a backline support job should have a spell that grants "occasionally attacks twice" be self target only? Explain why a spell that completely resists on any mob worth enfeebling needs another tier?

It's not whining. Its logic. Or lack of logic on SE's part to understand the player community's usage of the job. Expect more of the same with a few of these new 2hrs.

all jobs: "for the love of good" = makes all characters in pt fully capped on skills and the players know basic strats and job usage

What I'm hearing is, rdm should be brd whm and blm put together. Rdm is Rdm. I know some pretty good damn rdms that manage their MP 3x better than whms and offer more. And who ever said it was a support job? Rdm is a powerful job on it's own. It's for the people that want intense soloing. If you want more, go play a job that offers those options you seek.

Idk, this would be much better off as a normal ability that lasts for 1-3 spells and doesn't give the unnecessary boon of traits and stat enhancements. As a 2hr it really doesn't do anything for you.

RNG - 10 minutes of enhanced dead aim (+20 crit dmg), enhanced snap shot(+15), and enhanced crit rate(+30%).

Beause I love how crit sounds.

RNG - depletes current remaining ammo to deal massive single hit, chance of crit & damage & accuracy depends on current ammo remaining

Yeah I would love an ability like that, would also help out a ton during VW as BLU. Someone suggest it on the forums! Probably already has been but I never read there.
