My opinions as a 154 Bucc who has played since the class came out:
- Transformations are fine as they are. I don't mind being 10% of the time untransformed. Makes it all more realistic and dramatic. It's not all about power.
- Energy mode needs to be revived for 4th job. When you're 3rd job Energy mode is all the rage, you're waiting for energy all the time so you can spam E.Blast and use E.Drain. In 4th job when you get energy sure you can still use both, and E.Drain is ever useful, but most of the time at 4th job you'll be like "oh, energy is charged, whopee doo" while you keep spamming DS/Barrage. This is why we need a better energy move at 4th job. Make E.Orb work as mechanic's beam move ([SIZE="1"]well, not as overpowered, that pomegranate should get nerfed[/SIZE]), and like some guy said, make it drain all of your energy bar. Our ultimate move. We need back that excitement of being in energy mode. Like "holy$##$ I was chargin ma lazor and I can throw my lazor now!!1!!".
- Energy mode should be kept up as long as you keep hitting enemies with non-energy moves. Such as SSKick, FF, DS, Barrage, Demo, etc. If Arans keep their combo by hitting repeatedly, we should keep our energy bar by brawling constantly. If we stop attacking for X seconds, energy goes away. I don't mind how long it takes to fill the bar, as long as we can keep it with effort.
- Demolition and Barrage should both have reasons to be used. Demo is fine with the current delay, it just needs a little more damage. Barrage should be changed to be as spammable as Corsair's cannon, but being a weaker than it. Barrage should be a faster attack in exchange of poor range. While Demo is still op and ignores defense% as now.
- DS could use a little buff.
- Pre-BB CSB automatically makes them one of the most interesting classes. You can trade power for survivability, or just play post-BB style and spam the hell outta your skills for more damage (which is what most people will do, anyway).
Idem for my Bishop:
- If they wanna make us a real support class, make us the ones who have the following skills: Heal, Holy Symbol, Hyper Body, Combat Orders, Sharp Eyes, a Doom that doesn't suck, and a smart Bless. That's what I'd call a support class.
- If we're gonna keep our puny skills, give us something to attack. A beastly Bahamut, or a freaking ultimate holy attack. And I don't mean a little glorified holy arrow that does 10% the damage of a melee class.
