uhmmm....hi? so...i guess ill just jump to the ability Xan helped me with! please be critical but not cruel! Tears of the Phoenix [White Ether] - Target party member is healed for the amount of HP you currently have. Your character then dies. After 1...5 minutes, your character is revived with 5% HP and 5% ES. the graphic for this(in my head) is that the player using it gains silver wings and a slightly darker silver, cumulus aura that floats over the target party member as the ability works, all effects fade once the user dies, and upon resurrection, red/orange flames curl around their feet as they stand up.just a suggestion, feel free to totally disregard it if its unsatisfactory!  so...yea |

Essentially what I see with this ability is a suicide heal. I have seen this work in other games. The issue with it is in that 1 to five minutes, A normal healer with recovery 2 can heal you, die, and run their happy selves all the way back to where you are and they died. Now the larges issue I have with this ability is that this means you are stationary and those party members that are with you are stuck defending the area that you are in for 1....5 minutes. Thats enough time for a crushmaw to respawn. Or the Solarian golem thingamajig to pop in and maul you agian, and this time they lack you as a healer.
I understand the want for Anticipatory tactics. Perhaps a tweak to this. Five minutes of casting creates an item in your/target's inventory. When the target falls in combat, the item is expended thus raiseing them at the 5% hp and 5% ES. Its anticipatory, its requireing a ridecules long casting time, and you can even go as far as to give the "revived" target a 1 - 2 minutes dmg reduction.
Think of it as a "holy crap, in case I die, I poof alive, get my stuff and try to GTFO"
The graphics sound pretty enough, the casting graphic can be done with any of the mental stat buffs graphics with the swirly eyes, as far as the silver wings That would be a temp appearance tweak, that until Zun puts in an appearance changer or something similair I do not think can be done with just the DMFI tools.
Great idea, just have to take respawn times, as well as the other players into consideration when doing it. Hate to use an ability, Pop myself to heal my fighter - when recovery 2 heals 14-18 depending on your equips- and be a pile of bones that my newly healed friend has to protect.
Also... Its great to see a new face. Welcome aboard kiniro!
