[1.2.322] Moar Skill Balancing

Yeah, I'm mostly talking about making our currently useless/less used skills more useful. And making our useful skills more useful. So now, I have a few ideas on what they could do with said skills.

 Spoiler

1 - Focus: Make it a party skill. As to not be completely outclassed by the Cleric's Bless, have Focus grant an additional 25% MP Cost reduction. Have the MP cost reduction stack with Concentrate's reduction.
- (Plus, Focus and Concentrate almost kinda means the same thing... To me, anyways.)

2 - Final Attack: Extend its effects so that it not only works on 1st and 2nd job attacking skills, but also all 3rd and 4th job attacking skills (except for Hurricane) as well.
- Warriors appear to have FA working with all of their attack skills (or at least for Paladins and Heroes - this should be extended to Dark Knights if they don't already have it), and as far as I know, there hasn't been any mention of Archers' FA working with their later skills. I don't see why Archers' FA shouldn't.
- (I briefly considered suggesting that Final Attack should have a chance of triggering with each Hurricane arrow, but then I figured that it would end up being the most broken thing in the world. I think I've figured out something better for balance in Hamstring though...)

3 - Power Knockback and Dragon Pulse: Power Knockback is redundant now that there's no minimum range. It sucks now. Get rid of it, and move Dragon Pulse from 4th job to 2nd job.
- At the very least, Dragon Pulse can help us set up monsters for mob attacks.

4 - Soul Arrow: Make it so that Soul Arrow finally takes into consideration ATK from ATK Arrows, so that there would be some reason for having different arrows exist in the first place.

5 - Arrow Rain/Eruption and Blizzard/Inferno: Lower their damage but turn them into multi-hit mob skills. I can't be the only one here that thinks the skill animations looks as if the skills should hit more than once.
- At the very least, they would benefit more from crits.
- Two or three hits is fine, any more would be overkill.

6 - Blind: Make it work on bosses. Instead of lowering their accuracy (I'm assuming Threaten still does that), make it give the enemy's attacks a flat miss rate. 20% sounds good.
- Since this is calculated with enemy attacks and not calculated on the players themselves, it could be possible for enemy area of effect attacks to miss EVERYONE when this kicks in.

7 - Hamstring: Keep the slow rate and amount of speed decreased the same. Make the Slow effect work on bosses. Additionally, while the Hamstring buff is active, you will inflict 5% additional damage to monsters with 75 Speed or less. If the monster has 45 Speed or less, additional damage inflicted is increased to 10%.
- This should work on Immobile enemies too.
- Mages' Slow should be turned into an active skill, and should also have a similar additional damage effect.

8 - Summons: Let them have a (flat rate) chance to crit. This should apply to all summons, not just those of the Archers.
- Cygnus Summons: 40%
- Silver Hawk/Golden Eagle: 40%
- Bahamut: 40%
- Elquines/Ifrit: 50%
- Freezer: 50%
- Phoenix: 55%

9 - Puppet: Make it so that Puppet works like Wild Hunter's Trap skill. This is in terms of how aggro is handled, not in terms of Wild Hunter's Trap inflicting damage.

Pretty sure it's all because of crits.

Doubt if NEXON would make any further changes to BM's skill. and I'd like to say that 1/4 of the 3rd & 4th job skills are close to useless. I'd rather have them remove completely. Give us a special or higher passive cric dmg (E.g. Thrushot Aura) and Hamstring to be re-worked towards (Crippling, with slow + passive cric dmg - and of course pls make it work with bosses) to justify BM, which will never happen. Just a wishful thinking
