Issue

Underpowered for an elite, not viable, but definitely has potential to strongly counter derivative caster spikes.

Suggestion

Lower cost to 10, lower recharge to 10, also include attack skills.

Issue

it's a reactive poor man's elite Diversion with a ridiculous energy cost, a ridiculous recharge, and no spike prevention unless you're going against IV spike or such.

Suggestion

15en/.75s cast/15s recharge

For 1..3..3 seconds, target other ally has Xinrae's Weapon. Whenever a foe casts a spell on that ally, that spell fails and is disabled for an additional 8..18..20 seconds.

Issue

Limited use, even against spikes since most use at least partial rainbow spikes.

Suggestion

15/.75/20

For 4...9 seconds, target ally has Xinrae's Weapon. The next time a foe casts a Spell on that ally, spells of that attribute are disabled for 1...3...5 seconds for that foe and party members of that foe. (Make it have some limited use, even if to relieve pressure momentarily from one character against one foe).

Issue

Does not counter spikes well

High energy cost

Slow recharge

Hard to use

Suggestion

10e 1/4a 8r

Weapon Spell. (1...3...4) Whenever a foe casts a spell on target ally, that spell is disabled for 5...13...15 seconds for that foe and all party members of that foe. Your other spells are disabled for 10...5...4 seconds.

Reasoning

The energy makes this difficult to use, and the recharge makes it's anti-spike benefit worthless. This skill should disable skills that haven't been used by an enemy yet; making it a nice counter to spikes such as IV, BSpike, Invoke, LHammer etc. etc. because it would disable all the spiker's skills after the first one hits. However, in order to avoid it being used at 0 Communing, have it disable spells, promoting the use with Binding Rituals and Signets also found in th Communing line

Issue

This skill costs too much and doesn't even stop anything. Basically a 25 energy diversion.

Solution

5 ¼ 20 - "For 1...4...5 seconds, whenever a foe casts a spell on target ally, that spell fails and is disabled for 4...17...20 seconds."
