Synergy SkillsThis set up is All thanks to Philsov with a bit of help from Mav! Each skillset is meant to work well with one another as well as compensating for what is missing in another. I think Philsov and Mav have done a great job splitting these! But let me know your thoughts on this arrangement as well. Thanks goes to Philsov and Mav (and many others whose names I can't recall for the original skill ideas)for these wonderful skills!Monk - Master of Internal Energy, also the starting point for all physical-ish jobs. If you wanna know the basics, you start with yourself.
Iconic skills:
Searing Salvation - clears the soul of impurities with holy fire. Deals 15% HP damage, able to target self and allies. (Self-only cleanse is worthless for most of the big ones, we need function here)
Chakra - melee-range, PA-based spirit exhertion damage!
(Secret Skill) - I don't think Demi Fist is fitting for the class, but we'll go back to these later.
Ramza:
Golden Hand - 5 range linear, instant, no MP - cancels Charging and Performing
Ogre Run - 2 range linear, instant, no MP - Earth ele damage + haste cancel proc.
Wave Fist - 2 range, single target. Like the old one, only shorter range.
Pressure Point - PA*X (or MA*X?) damage with a 25% chance to Don't Act target. 1 range, 1-3CTR.
Meditate - Self-only regen, 100%.
Grid - Self only defend + protect
Rad:
Mage Bane Fist - melee range, small charge time, no MP - 25% MP damage
Turning Gust - self-AoE, instant, no MP. - no ele damage + Float/Regen/Faith cancel proc.
Consuming Fist - PA-based damage with recoil. 2 range, 1 AoE.
Radiant Claw - 4 range, single target, CT, MP - artillery shot
Tranquility - Enemy-only. Dispells all status effects on the user. PA+X% success rate.
Brace - Self only defend + shell
~
Scryer - Supa-chemists! Fine for now. I probably want to change a rune or two but that's another step.
~
Invoker - The black mage-like-class. Features MA-but-not Fa-based damage with moderate status infliction in some cases. Hosts the various elements. I went with a dark/light split on Ramza + Rad. Seems fitting, ability wise, though you may want to shuffle for thematics.
Iconics:
Explosion - MA * 5 (MA + 30%) Range 4, Effect Area 2, Vertical 2, MP 2 - The Invoker's most destructive spell, as well as the most inaccurate, from a distance the Invoker let's fly a large explosion
Metal (I'm really at a lost for this slot...) - MA * 2 (MA+90%), range 4, AoE 0, MP 1 - Invoker's most basic spell, manipulates the opponents equipment to deal them harm.
(Secret Skill - Blood Sin)
Ramza:
Dark chant - MA * 2 (MA + 65%) Range 2, Effect Area 0, Vertical 5, MP 2, chance to Inflict charm,
Poison - Engulf - MA * 4 (MA + 60%) Range 2, Effect Area 1, Vertical 4, MP 2, Inflict Poison
Ice - Freeze - MA * 3 (MA + 40%) Range 4, Effect Area 1, Vertical 1, MP 2, Inflict Slow
Earth - Tremor - MA * 3 (MA + 50%) Range 0, Effect Area 2, Vertical 0, MP 2

Lit - Shock - MA * 2 (MA + 70)%) Range 3, Effect Area 0, Vertical 10, MP 2, Inflict Stop or Don't Act or Don't Move
Fire - Burn - MA * 6 (MA + 50%) Range 3, Effect Area 1, Vertical 3, MP 2, Chance to inflict Haste
Wind - Gale - Dmg_Random(1...4)* MA (For now PA...) Range 4, Effect Area 4, Vertical 2, (linear attack), MP 2
Fire + Wind = Flash Fire. MA * 4 (MA + 50%), range 4 linear, vert 2. No status.
Lit + Light = Smite - MA * 6 (MA + 90%), Range 4, Effect Area 0. Chance to inflict Dead.
~ Cantor - Voice of Heaven. Ramza and Rad given a good split on abilities, then gain a Cure-like spell each (Ramza with healing voice got an AoE, Rad got the opposite). And I know you're going more for the vocal angle here, and I went more with the priesty angle, so feel free to change the names. I like the abilities themselves though, nevermind the awesome bias.
Iconics:
Hymn of Life = Range self, AoE 1. Revives!
Throe of Rebirth = single target, light CT, light MP. Inflicts Reraise but harms unit for 25%. Ally/self only.

~ Knights - got kicked out of both Holy and Dark knight school, kinda waffling around with both and willing to sacrifice their own well being to get the job done.

Somber Drive - melee range, PA based. Nasty damage with nasty recoil.

??? Travelers - Rhodes Scholar? More like rogue scholar! lololololololol. Did a decent split, then mirrored up Pick Up Speed and gave them both cool little duo tricks. Ramza gained Ghost Strike as Rad has the thing from Monk.

~
Reliquian - Much like the Scryer, this chap is capped on available, so little will be added/split. Tweaking may be needed, but later!
~ Blue Mage - Needs no description! (In the Interim of being changed)
Iconics
Choco Cure - Self AoE Curing
Drain Touch - MP damage and MP restoration all in one!
(Hurricane) - I think self-destruct is imba, but secret skills will be looked at after the status effect bit.
Ramza
Eye gouge
Ice Breath
Triple Thunder
Spark
Calm Spirit
Not cat kick - ???
Rad
Mind Blast
Blaster
Blow Fire
Triple Attack
Wind Soul
Circle
~ Esperblade - Subjected to a paradigm shift. The esperblades will only be able to summon Espers tied to their equipped weapon, thanks to ARH. There are 4 subgroups with 4 espers each, to the tune of: Healing, Support, Elemental, and Non-elemental. Highly specialized but highly effective. All spells are Faith-based, and all spells in the elemental and non-elemental brances have a 100% chance to hit. Also forgive me for imprinting summon functions from my own patch :3.
Healing
Moogle - Range 4. AoE 2 - Wide-area healing
Fairy - Range 4, AoE 0 - Revives target with 50% health (Raise, basically)
Leviathan - Range 3, AoE 2 - Regen infliction
Silf - Range 3, AoE 1 - Drains 15% HP from targets. (does AoE drain work, at all? Would be nice to siphon life from a large area, while keeping things balanced for boss fights coupled with the drain cap ASM)
Elemental - Ifrit, Shiva, and Ramuh do the same damage with the same MP cost. Titan is stronger (same MP?) due to range issues.
Ifrit - Range 4, AoE 2, affects both enemies and allies. Fire elemental.
Shiva - Range 6, linear. Enemies only. Ice ele
Ramuh - Range 4, 3-way attack. Enemies only. Lit ele
Titan - Range 0, AoE 2. Enemies only. Earth ele.
Support
Golem - Range 3, AoE 1 - Esuna-like effect, high success rate.
Salamander - Range 4, AoE 1 - CFa/100 * TFa/100 * (MA + 170) chance to inflict Berserk. Enemy only.
Lich - Range 4, AoE 1 - CFa/100 * TFa/100 * (MA + 180) - Removes all positive status from the enemy.
Carbunkle - ?Confuddle? - Range 4, AoE - 1 - CFa/100 * TFa/100 * (MA + 130) - inflicts Charm, Confuse, OR sleep. Enemy only.
Non-elemental
Bahamut - Range 4, AoE 2. Affects both enemies and allies. Higher damage and MP cost than ifrit.
Odin - Range 6 Linear - CFa/100 * TFa/100 * (MA + 140) to inflict either Dead or Death Sentence
Zodiac - Range 4, AoE 0 - heavy damage, no AoE.
Cyclops - Range 4, AoE 3 - Med-Light damage, wide area. Archers - Bow-weilders with a hint of magic! And, yes, this one is a bit hard without overlapping. They both gained a shot with a 25% proc of an invoker spell -- I chose one from each of their books but maybe a cross-swap would be better? idk. Invoker spell choice was the one most likely to connect, because procs that ultimately fail are lame. Both also gained an AoE spell, and the cover fire idea is all skip sandwich iirc. Also stepped on monks' toes a bit, and then straight stole from Dragoon but eh.
Iconics:
Beso Toxico - PW*WP with 100% chance to poison target. Weapon range, MP 10.
Dominate Demon - Randomly inflicts Slow, Stop, DA, or DM onto a monster. 3 CTR, 12 MP. 100%.
(Lifeforce Shot) - Self-destruct formula, 8 range linear 8 vert, 30 MP, 100% Confusion
Ramza:
Divine Bolt - Sp + 50% chance to petrify undead. Given to Ramza because he needs more light-based stuff.
Take Aim = PA*WP (maybe normal weapon strike? I don't know if the goal is to inflict more than normal damage or just do unavoidable), 100% accuracy. Given to Ramza since Rad has the thing from Knight.
Mist Disperse - MP damage, 20%+MA; 100%
Volley - moderate MP cost. Bow/xbow only? 4 range, 1 AoE, 2 vert. Weapon Strike damage into the area.
Dark Shot - Weapon range, moderate-low MP cost. Weapon Strike with a 25% chance to cast Dark Chant on the target.
X - Entice Demon - 100% Monster charm. (Is there a monster-only formula that isn't 100%?) - higher MP/CTR than dominate
Rad:
Black Out Bolt - 100% Blind, but deals no damage. 2 MP.
Cupid's Arrow - Because Rad is a charming mofo. MA+60%, weapon range, 3 CTR, 18 MP.

Iconics:
Mirror Stance - self-only Reflect infliction at 100%.
Head Cracker - PA+65% chance to inflict Addle. (damage + 100% seemed too good, and damage + 25% seemed to weak, so... goodbye damage)

Ramza:
Tear Away - 100% removal of magical benefits from target. 3 range, light MP cost, instant. (Rad has the other dispel in monk)
?Shield Strip? - PA*WP with a 100% chance to break the targets shield. Very high MP cost.
???
???
???
Steady Feet - Range 0, AoE 1 vert 3; 100% cancel Stop and Don't Act
Rad:
Mana Strip - removes X% (30%?) mana from user. This makes Rad/Ramza 2 and 2 for mana burn.
?Accessory Strip? - PA*WP with a 100% chance to break the targets accessory. Very high MP cost.
???
???
God's Orb - Tar_F * MA * X damage. Range 4, single target. Non elemental.
Stable Feet - Range 0, AoE 2 vert 3; 100% cancel Slow and Don't Move ~ Trancer - We need to see what formulas do and do not work with geomancy, and more importantly concrete out the rest of the classes before solidifying this. ~ Dragoon - Really there's several iconics I wish I could put up, but alas. This'll be fun to divvy....
Iconics
Jump - Duh. SP*WP damage. 5 range, infinite vert imo.
Dragon's Cry - 2 range, 2 vert. Success = PA+90%. Revives target with 1% HP. (to review, Fairy rezzes with 50% HP at 4 range and charge time, and cantor 20% with 1 range... this might work?)

Rad
??? - 4 range 0 vert tol 3-way attack dealing PA-based damage
Point Blank - 1 range 0 vert tol - PA+WP+X attack. High damage.
?Salted Wound? - Damage dealt = damage taken thus far (aka climhazzard) (trumps Execute, I know; but this job is off the Red Mage radar and needs a perk imo)
Second Wind - self-only, critical-only. Adds Berserk and Regen at 100%.
????
???? You're probably scratching your head asking "...what?" Well let me explain. Zodiac created something called the Ability Requirement Hack a while back and it is quite a Marvelous tool! It has single-handedly rescued the Hessian and Red Mage classes! It gets around that accursed skillset bug in a myriad of ways. To give you a scope of this things potential... You can now make Any skill require Any sort of equipment, from a Crossbow to Ribbons! You no longer are restricted by "Only Sword, Only Materia Blade" The tool can also set up "synergy skills" that require two specific skillsets to be there, but for the most part we won't be using all of that (there will be exceptions, mind you) What the greatest part of this tool is for us is the Gender specification for skills. For those who have been with Mercenaries a long time know that Rad is labeled Male and Ramza labeled Female (only on a mechanics side of things, of course). This is done so each could have their own special class at the end of their job lines. Well... thanks to the ARH this arrangement becomes 100x more meaningful! Now Rad and Ramza will have Completely different Skillsets from one another! (Despite still having the majority of the same jobs) but I will need your help. I will need anywhere from 5-16 new abilities for these classes (as because there skillsets are split, that means that they can have 8 maximum, minimum I would say would be... 5 each.). Let me show you an example... Invoker
Ramza - Burn
Ramza - Spirit Surge
Ramza - Tremor
Ramza - Shock
Ramza - Blood Sin (Gran Grimoire)
Rad - Engulf
Rad - Dark Chant
Rad - Gale
Rad - Freeze
Rad - Explosion (Clear Thought) (As you can also see from this example, that specific items can be required to use skills) I will be resurrecting each job thread (everyone that will be using this, anyhow), feel free to come up with your own themes for the Two skillsets, just keep in mind the purpose of the classes. Also don't fear of just giving a few skill ideas, we need as Much help as we can with this. As always, thank you for all the help you can give. EDIT: I will be away this weekend, but I'll try to respond to what I can while away.
"Moment's anger can revert to joy,
sadness can be turned to delight.
A nation destroyed cannot be restored,
the dead brought back to life."
