What would you want from 5th job?

Want to know what other dual blades would want from some 5th job skills.

Honestly, myself, I would love to have asura as a 5th job skill but much like beam dancing... able to just hold it down and flashjump around for as long as you want (with reduced damage of course and no cooldown). Would be a great thing for us as a fast hitting class and would be amazing to not have to only have 10-14 seconds of it and wait another 90 seconds to use it again.

I don't know if a weak, spammable Asura is good enough to make up for the DPS for the Asura we have now. I'm already fine with K0'ing some bosses under 10 seconds with the Asura as a hyper skill. I rather wait 30 seconds do to tons of damage than spam something already like Phantom Blow....

100% dmg is more balanced than 250%

Blade Dancing hits once, Asura hits 3 times. Xenon doesn't have a final attack skill, DB's have blade clone, which works with MI. BD hits 300% per hit, Asura hits 500% per hit. And you're mad that BD is unlimited while Asura has a 10 sec duration?

[quote=Warbutcher]@Blazinblood i'd disagree with the ropes because you're attacking... if you think you can't really attack and climb a rope with any character... but I think my idea of 250% 3x with 30% PDR is great maybe 100% crit or some boss damage as a hyper would be a great addition! [/quote]

Phantom is the only character I can think of that can 'use' an attack on a rope, they're able to use their beginner job card throwing skill (If you have a full deck)
Xenon's can attack on a rope too, but only if they get hit so I don't count that.

I want something that can instakill bosses at a rate of at least 20%

I want a longer ranged attack so I can solo pink bean at ease and I want a better mobbing move cause imo blade fury sucks compared to a lot of other class's mobbing skills.

I would agree weakening Asura so that we can have it as a normal skill, but not so weak that even Blade Fury outshines it. It's 5th job, so it should be stronger than 4th job, but not stronger than Hyper Skills (weaker, but no or little cool downs). I would like a version of no cool down but weakened Asura. <3 Maybe even being able to climb ropes while using it? <3

yeah I was kinda mad when I saw that xenon got an asura type skill you can spam constantly

I agree with the Asura thing. Its pretty sick and cool and I wouldnt even mind if they halfed the %damage as long as I can spam it. It would help so much with our lack of good mobbing skills

@LetThereBeFradd: I'm not saying remove hypers but to possibly make us another hyper and just give us asura as a 5th job skill... and make it a lot like Beam dance but slightly weaker than the hyper asura... like I said 250% hitting 3 times with 30% defense ignore would be amazing, but who knows! We might even get something better when 5th job is done.

@LetThereBeFradd when you get to a high level you can say its not original... but i'm sure more people would love to have an unlimited asura rather than just another fast attacking skill like PB... asura is by far the best skill a DB has but its downside is the time it functions and the cooldown... now if it were say 250% damage with 30% defense ignore and 100% crit rate... i'm sure more db's would enjoy that than 600% for 10 seconds and 90 second cooldown
