[Dev] Group 3 Merits & New 2-Hours (brief Info)

SAM

Cosmic Elucidation

• You gain two new weapon skills in your WS list:
  

  • Oisoya
    
  • Amatsu: Tsukikage

• Once you use the 2 hour you gain the level 99 version of Tenzen's weapon and bow for 30 seconds resetting your TP since changing weapons and your timers on everything reset (to prevent cheating and making the two ws's right away). You don't have to do the two weaponskills (Oisoya > Amatsu: Tsukikage) one after another just both within the 30 second timer and can't be interrupted by other players using their weaponskills between yours. If you manage to do the two weaponskills within 30 seconds you produce the level 4 skillchain Cosmic Elucidation.
  

• What it would do as a player version I'm not sure, some math wiz would be able to figure out an appropriate damage and variables for this (higher than what light and dark can produce of course.
  

Also before you say that they would never do that I kinda agree EXCEPT it was a request a few months ago and they said that it was an interesting idea and would look into it. So it's possible but not very likely.

interesting ideas

Or for thf it automatically caps TH on the target?

inb4 meteor tier 3 merit spell would need 2+ blms to use, damge based off total MP, uses all MP of all blms using it

perfect dodge blocks magic

ninja: doesn't die or even take HP away or drops to 1 HP

pld: blocks magic

whm: restores MP too

blu: unlocks all spells (you have) for use

sam: same effect for party members within range (but not you)

drk: free health care

ninja: doesn't die or even take HP away or drops to 1 HP

PLD: Shield Combat
Effect: Be able to use a shield like an off-hand weapon. Damage based on shield size/composition.
or
Shield Wall
Effect: Self target, user cannot make main hand attacks while active. Cover (cover is augmented by cover gear) all party members 45 degree behind PLD (must have shield equipped).

Since Time Mage will never happen...

RDM: Stop
Effect: All actions within a certain radius are halted (not stunned) until duration has expired, user is not effected by this effect.

BLU: Form of the Beast
Effect: Turn into the creature (access to all spells/abilities) of the type in which spell chosen was learned (i.e. slime = Digest).

All I could think of ATM...

Because we want to make it reuseless.

How about something more ninja'ey, and less explodey.

Could do like Gessho and make your shadows Mijin Gakure altogether. Or even better Utsu San that both Gessho and Kagetora have: real shadow clones!

For thf how about the chance to steal an item from the enemies drop pool the lower the targets current hp the better the chance.

Maybe make it so they can't steal ra/ex items to stop them causing drama. :V

i still say sam's new 2hr should be Seppuku...
or a move that will haevy damage a mob, if it misses, the sam dies.

:x

Tenzen's Cosmic Elucidation was also AoE. Unlikely that they would allow us to get ahold of this SC, even more unlikely that they would let it stand as an AoE.

THF - Some sort of improved Steal. Perhaps steals an item from the mob's normal loot pool (without actually removing it from the drops).
Waste of 2hour

RNG - Ranged attacks generate no enmity for some duration of time.
Relic gun

WAR - Increased critical hit damage for some duration.
Mighty Strikes and Blood Rage.... it already has that ... x2 even

WHM - Grants all party members -50% damage taken for some duration
Protectra shellra mdt gear pdt gear they have a ja that gives mdb as well.

MNK -

BLM - Grants access to certain powerful spells for some duration (similar to SCH's new 2hour spells)

RDM - Grants access to highest tier enfeebles for some duration
what? slow2 para2 bio3 dia3 blind2 are already merits. and they have break.. gonna give them breakga?

PLD - Caps paladin's enmity and locks enmity on PLD for a large duration
You can do that already... when you have multiple people cap emnity who ever can just do the next dmg point will take hate so that's useless.
DRK - I'll fill this one in for ya.. Ja that doesn't suck

BST -

BRD - Allows 1 extra song to be played (daurdabla effect)
so empy brds can do 4 songs?

SAM - Grants all party members regain for some duration.
Sch can do this already. And sam has a ja that can transfer tp to another player already

NIN - Single-target version of SMN's Odin. Higher chance of Death, Higher damage on NMs (due to being single-target).
.... how about give me jubaku:ni and monomi:ni first....

DRG - Wyvern enlarges and becomes much more powerful for some duration.
possible

SMN - Additional avatars like odin/alex
how about a ja that boosts dmg done by avatars instead.

BLU -

COR - All phantom rolls become 11 for some duration.
give them a ja that depending on the number will do different things instead of lucky numbers. Like 1 Increase attack x2 or something different.

PUP - delete them

DNC - Removes recast timers on all abilities for some duration.
broken

SCH - Displays detailed information about the target, including:
Stats, Level, Weakness/Resistance/Immunities, Procs, Drop rates of loot(including current TH).
wiki use it... why have a useless ja..

I think second 2hrs shouldn't be so overpowered. Dev stated that it would be where you would choose a 2hr based on the situation. So if new 2hrs overshadow the original ones then it defeats the purpose of "balace"(if that even exists anymore, lol).
