I'd like for Benediction to like actually work more than 30% of the time, that would be nice.

Be slightly more generous with the margin of error when setting up mudra, that's about it.

^ This, I don't mind the cooldown so much given how powerful the spell is. But I rarely if ever use it because more often than not I can pop off cure quicker and save my Swiftcast for any raising. That and the few times I have used it the other healer has already healed half of the target's health by the time it goes off.

Hard to complain about Dragoons after SE gave them the buff, but I still think Jump and Elusive Jump need to have hit-box mechanics fixed.
Elusive Jump would be a great ability to occasionally use to escape a boss AOE, but it seems like the hit-box doesn't move from your original spot -until- the animation is complete. Would really be nice to have realistic hit-box movement. When my character is outside the AOE warning indicator zones before the AOE triggers I should -not- get hit damn it. It's not like that would be OP either. Elusive Jump has a long recharge time.
I know it rids Dragoons of aggro, but I almost never need it to get adds off me. Actually, I spend most of my time trying to chase adds down. It would be much more useful as an ability to help escape those huge boss AOEs that give you just barely enough time to escape. Admittedly, it does work for that sometimes, but it could be much better.
As for Jump, it's great for damage, but despite the range it has, I almost never find it useful as a ranged attack. They decided to use realistic hit-box movement for Jump, so when my character animates jumping in, she can get hit by attacks and AOE during that even if they aren't aimed at the spot she jumped from. This makes it risky to use Jump on a target that is in the indicator of an AOE. But there are few other times I would use it for anything else aside from my melee-range rotation. I'm not sure how it should be changed though.
TL;DR: loldrg

The Garuda wand is calling to me... WE WANTS IT PRECIOUUUUUUS. Other than that? WHM is pretty boss already and most of the changes I'd make would make it too OP, such as lowering the cooldown for Benediction or improve Shroud of Saint's MP recovery, so I can't really complain.More MP conservation, Bards aren't always reliable.
WHM: Mage's Ballad?
BRD: fuck u it lowers my dmg :ccc
Dis is true. ): I've gotten the timing down for most of the Raids, save Coil, but it's hairy a lot of the time... I always feel bad for my BRD friends when they come with me too. ;___; Actually, why not just improve BRD DPS, or keep it the same, so that they're more likely to run Mage's Ballad. That would make both casters and BRDs happy.

DRG:
- Reduction in damage taken during the use of a jump ability. Even with great timing you can be screwed over pretty easily if a boss ends up switching to a different phase more quickly than usual or happens to have a random rotation that is difficult to predict.
- Another gap closer wouldn't go amiss either. It's ridiculous how much of an advantage ranged and healing classes have in PvP.

I'd put it in the game, to start.

Most changes I could think of right now would just make whatever job I'm thinking of OP. The only justifiable thing that comes to mind is "buff SMNs in general". There's also the classic "WTF @ BRD LB3", but Yoshi-P's confirmed they're getting a unique DPS LB3 come 3.0, so that desire of mine has been quelled.

DPS stance. I have a giant axe. This is not a tool solely for defence. Or defence at all.

Gladiator -> Paladin
Awareness - The recast I would up to 180 seconds and shorten the duration to 10 seconds. The reason is because I would change the whole effect to full status immunity except from like bosses that cast doom and what not.
Tempered Will - Keep it at 180 seconds on the recast. It removes all debuffs except like the other, boss laid ones and what not. Not one at a time like Esuna, all. Hence the long recast.
Shield Oath - Nothing major, just swap it with Sword Oath to lv30. To help lower people with old content. I'll admit it, Shield Oath has me spoiled, I hate tanking without it.
Sword Oath - Remove it, replace it at lv 40 with........
Judgment Blade - A right to left wide slash with a shining blade. Cast time instant, recast at 180 seconds, a 300 potency, with two effects. Effect one, uses VIT in the damage calculation instead of STR. And the second effect, if the user's HP is below 33%, it has a knockback and stun effect.
(forgot one)
Enhanced Awareness - Get rid of it as it is tied to the old Awareness. Replace it with......
Enhanced Shield Lob - Shield Lob will strike up to two additional enemies within five fulms of the target enemy, extra enemies determined by closest proximity. Basically make Shield Lob a mini-AoE. There's a bit of power to that so keep the trait at lv44 though.
