As we've seen, 5th job opens so many possibilities for all classes. So many new concepts to create! So why don't we take a break from all the doom and gloom in the forum lately, and dream up some fun ideas for 5th job skills! Describe it however you like, just basic concepts or maybe think up damage %'s, cooldowns, whatever you want!
Me personally, I'd love to see Twister Spin make a triumphant return to Battle Mages, and it'd work a lot like Shade's hyper attack.

Class:Bishop
Description:Use the power of light to enchance your abilities.
Lvl 1Duration 40 seconds
Increases m.att by 30%
Angel ray damage increased , light beams shoot out homing on near mobs when angel ray hits.
Trigger chance: 30%
Genesis enemie hit count increased
Big bang range increased
Bahamuts effect increased.
sorry I thought of this
My ideal 5th job skill for Corsair would be the ability to clone their main weapon to do double damage (through doubling attack count). I see KMS recently added a skill that is like this for all pirates though seemingly half assed.
Once the buff ends the two guns merge back into one and the heat created from the two guns doubles as it becomes a single gun, making it slow to fire (you see ivan, when gun is smoldering hot, take time to fire unless you want gun to become grenade.) -2 attack speed for like 30 seconds after. Buff duration:30 seconds cooldown: 60 seconds.
I'd also like Corsair to have an "ammo selection" skill that drastically changes how Rapid Fire and a few other skills looks when using it. It turns Corsair into a Bullet Hell-esque class.
Ammo types: Grapeshot (spread), Incendiary (elemental), and Barrier
Grapeshot basically increases number of enemies hit to 3, but can hit the same enemy more than once (like spread throw mixed with Hayato's op 1st 5th job skill) but changes RF's initial damage to 150%
Incendiary opens a sub option to either explosive rounds (fire), corrosive rounds (poison) or Ice Shards (Ice) which causes a burn, poison, or frozen effect. Fire deals 100% DoT and can spread to nearby enemies that come close to the enemy on fire, -10% DoT per extra enemy effected. Poison does 300% DoT. Ice slows enemies at 5% chance with up to 4 cryogenic stages. 4th stage immobilizes (binds) the target for 5 seconds before melting. Chance to freeze decreases by 1% per stage (2% chance to bind, 1% chance to increase bind duration) but the first 3 stages stay until the target is killed.
Barrier creates a bullet shield for every 16th shot of Rapidfire which decreases damage by 30%. Up to 8 bullets can be created at once and a bullet is consumed upon taking damage.

Skill Name: All Out
Description: Unloads the Mechanic full weapon payload onto their enemy. But causes the mech to overheat causing the system to shut down for a few moments after the skill has been used. "Hold down skill button for max effect"
Animation shows Mech drops off two mini robot buildings from it's chest that quickly build tiny bots as they launch towards their foe then it shows the mech hands change into large gatling guns with quad flame throwers attached firing both bullets and flame jets from hands while at the same time launching missiles out the back shoulders while center chest re-opens up to fire multiple lasers and miniature missiles. Once the barrage has stopped it then finishes them off with a called down air strike.
Lvl 1: Costs 550 of mp per second Deals 125% damage to 1 enemy 5 times continuously for 10 seconds, also deals burn effect damage 125% per second to one enemy 1 time lasts 2 seconds. Final Hit- "Air Strike" Damage 450% to 8 enemies 3 times - Cool down 160 seconds, after attack cannot use any skills for 15 seconds while system reboots during cool down."
Lvl 25: Costs 750 of mp per second Deals 325% damage to 1 enemy 5 times continuously for 10 seconds, also deals burn effect damage 325% per second to one enemy 1 time lasts 8 seconds. Final Hit- "Air Strike" Damage 850% to 8 enemies 3 times - Cool down 240 seconds, after attack cannot use any skills for 15 seconds while system reboots during cool down."
My idea overall needs lots of work. But this thread is pretty fun for coming up with some interesting ideas.
You know, I almost feel like that would be much more suited to a class like Mercedes. Still loving all the ideas though! Please, keep them coming!

Class: Mechanic
Skill Name: Mech Self-Destruct
Two words.
Description: Set your mech to self-destruct and eject out of it. How it explodes is based on your current mech form. You cannot use skills for 5 seconds when you cast this skill, but after that, Checky delivers you a fresh new mech in the form of your previous mech. Can deal damage to enemies with Attack Ignore or Attack Reflection effects.
Level 25: Consumes 1000 MP. This skill can only be used while in Humanoid Mech or Tank Mech. Cooldown: 45 seconds.
[Humanoid Mech] Explodes 3 seconds after you eject, dealing 3000% damage 5 times on up to 15 enemies with an additional 100% critical rate and 100% defense ignore in a large explosion. Final Damage is increased up to 100%, based on how close the enemy was to the epicenter. Can be used during Mechanic Dash or Rocket Booster to launch it forward or upward respectively.
[Tank Mech] Thrusts forward and explodes 2.5 seconds later or when it collides to an enemy or a wall, dealing 3000% damage 10 times on up to 8 enemies with an additional 100% critical rate and 100% defense ignore in a small explosion. Final Damage is increased up to 100%, based on how close the enemy was to the epicenter, and the collided enemy takes an additional 50% Final Damage.
The Tank Mech Self-Destruct pays homage to the Metal Slug.
Except for the fact that I'm not advocating for these skills to be added. It's simply a discussion about maple topics. It could go in off topic, but as I said, it pertains to Maplestory. Love your idea though.

my only problem with this is that haku's blessing is not a controlled buff, and would cancel this whenever haku auto casts the blessing buff (looking at how Hayato has this problem with one of his hyperskill buffs being cancelled by a 4th job skill buff if on macro and vice verca).
Interesting, I thought the fact that it was a barrier/field type skill would prevent any problems like that.
