Long awaited post- GET RID OF CANCEL WA/MA

Some sort of limit to the number of times a boss can cancel within a given timeframe could also be a consideration, to minimize the scenarios where one prehead might clear with no cancels while the second might cancel 10 times.

 

A WC/MC cooldown period would be a QoL change I think people could get behind. I know it would make awful fights like Pianus less of a time gate.

Another option could be adjust the boss fights to have an event occur that is triggered by WC/MC activating, IE mob spawn that killing the mobs removes WC/MC. That would have more engagement than simply waiting for it to end.

 

Add a cooldown to WC/MC but every attack that hits it shortens the cooldown (like DR but less punishing).

Also while we’re at it every death to DR also shortens the cooldown. :^)

 

Gotta sneak those BM buffs in, smart

 

This would be a colossal BM nerf

 

OH I read that inside out as shortens the cancel omg truly selfless

 

also a good reason for sairs to sit around during boat cooldown

 

This is a nice idea "active cease fire"
The issue i take with that is that during WC is a good time to charge bucc bubble to 99% for stance as soon as dps can bang in.
Also new meta such as magnet pinning and hammer give -49999s to cd gg

 

Yeah it was a joke suggestion, I think it's a terrible idea. You raise a good point about charging too.

 

replace it to a 2x heal for equivalent damage

 

This would be an interesting replacement for DR.

10x heal and 50% chance to reflect 30k damage

 

Thatd be hilarious watching a huge chunk of the boss heal as all BM die at the same time

 

I feel like there are some bosses where its fine (HT) and some that are highly over tuned for how much/often/how long they cast wc. Scarga is pointless as range as you will almost always be hitting a wc, Zak can make a 20min run in 30-35+ just from wc alone. I think there is room to improve with how often the bosses cast it, itd be interesting to see wc/mc changed in zak to something else like sed, dispel, or even damage reflect could be interesting (although maybe hardcore for a 135 boss) to showcase active bishops. Currently the only time I bring an active bish into scarga, krex, zak is if an ally member needs it or we're doing a pepega run just to help the low level guildys get into a run

 

Not just BMs tho. Any BM worth their salt doesn't die to DR already anyways.
30k HP characters would also be susceptible to dying if they hit during DR.

Would be interesting to see how runners deal with it because buccs wouldn't be able to hold aggro while DR is up.

 

Here is an idea, keep the WC but add a new feature that will randomly choose 5-10 Skills from the entire job pools, then if all of those skills are used during the time of the WC it breaks, this can lead to a much much more job inclusive gameplay and break the NL boss meta, since now a more diverse party will do more dmg anyway,

 

If you're worried about WC just bring mages with you.

 

Yeah that angel ray will show third bod zak who's boss

 

Why would you bring mages when you can just do more damage with a second attacker while WC is down.
