An Unused FeatFollow

You know... I know SCH already has spells up the arsenal and stuff but why not give us this for Add.White

Banish I, II, III
Holy

I mean we have Divine Magic but I've never used it once. And Aurorastorm? Klimaform? (sarcasmn) "ok awesome I get increased Acc to Dia when it actually never gets resisted" <,<
(Yeah I know Dia is an enfeebling magic, but it's considered Light type like Bio Dark Magic)

Additional:

Stormsurge should also make these enhancements when fully merited:
Windstorm: 15% Haste (This way we don't get haste, but at least we get a weaker version of the spell)
Thunderstorm: +6% Critical Hit
Hailstorm: +10 Magic Attack Bonus (My own special wish*twouldcometrue)

I know SCH is already an amazing job by itself, I mean seriously I've never been so satisfied with a job.

Since the release of afflatus for WHMs, holy has actually become a worthwhile spell occasionally. I personally would cringe at using flash on my SCH, simply because SCH is such a hate factory already. Flash would only really be useful for soloing and needing an emergency stoneskin recast. Flash > celerity > stoneskin would be 100% chance of getting it off on any mob that isn't in hundred fists mode. Celerity > stoneskin usually does the trick anyway, however. Banish's main quality is the defense down effect and the fact that it removes all penalties from weapon damage types vs undead mobs. Because of this, Banish 1-3 would indeed be welcome for certain situations, but nothing to grovel to SE about.

On the other hand, I personally would love to see a small boost to stormsurge. My ideas are as follows:

Firestorm: STR + 3, attack + 3%. Each additional level: STR + 1, Attack + 1%
Rainstorm: MND + 3, Macc + 3%. Each additional level: MND + 1, Macc + 1%
Thunderstorm: DEX + 3, Acc + 3%. Each additional level: DEX + 1, Acc + 1%
Windstorm: AGI + 3, Eva + 3%. Each additional level: AGI + 1, Acc + 1%
Hailstorm: INT + 3, MAB + 3. Each additional level: INT + 1, MAB + 1
Sandstorm: VIT + 3, Defense + 3%. Each additional level: VIT + 1, Defense + 1%
Aurorastorm: CHR + 3, hHP + 5. Each additional level: CHR + 1, hHP + 2
Voidstorm: All stats + 1.5, hMP + 5 Each additional level: All Stats + .5, hMP + 2

None of this would be game-breaking by any means, but would very well have its place. All of these bonuses can be comparable to the corresponding COR rolls when COR is the subjob, there is no corresponding job, and you roll a 1-2 on it.

The main thing I was thinking when I was coming up with those ideas was this:

What is something that would be very applicable, very noticeable, and very balanced?

I don't think BRDs or CORs would whine and complain because SCH gets to buff people by a bonus that is approximately equivalent to a worst case scenario when their job is the subjob. At the same time, in a meripo, an extra 7% attack on the melees is going to make a noticeable increase to damage dealt over the course of the PT. Adding MAB to hailstorm would make blizzard spells all the more powerful, but adding Macc to rainstorm would then open up for different gear choices for certain things. If you're main healing in the tank PT, 7% extra defense will be a nice bonus that your tank will definitely appreciate. If you're low-manning something and the key to keeping the tank alive is avoiding hits, 7% evasion is pwn.

The biggest bonus I see or this is simply, this would be an idea that would cause each of the storm spells to be used fairly regularly, as each one would have a time and place.

Light Obi (do you have it?)

So because SCH is the most satisfying job you've ever played, and because you consider it already balanced and complete in itself... you think it needs to be made far more powerful simply because, as you say, "why not?" I fail to see the point of the post ><

I'd like the duration of storms upped before we start making them even fancier. They should probably borrow a page from barspells and increase in duration along with your Enhancing skill. Without that consideration, it'd be like having 8 versions of Refresh to cast on 6 party members.

I used Aurorastorm all the time when I'm main healing. Get yourself a Korin Obi, and that's a guaranteed curing potency bonus.
