I am betting Charmna will be like cursna when removing doom.

Charmna would completely defeat the purpose of battling NMs that have a primary characteristic of charming. There are so few mobs that actually have a threatening charm anymore that it would just be an unnecessary buff. IMO, it would further remove strategy from mobs that one required it in certain situations (e.g. duoing Cirein-croin with a tank + mage,) If it were introduced, it should have properties similar to Cursna versus Doom, where the removal isn't guaranteed.

Amnesia-na would be far more appropriate in a sense that Amnesia doesn't pose nearly the same amount of threat as charm(ga). Amnesia just ends up drawing out fights that're unnecessarily long due to either an amnesia aura or a move that inflicts it. Unless coupled with single target hate resets, all it does is make some fights longer. Also, Amnesia-na is technically in the game already, but who carries these around anymore?

edit: Revivscence would be awesome. It should be granted by an item though, like Impact/Twilight Cloak! :O

I found no use for those rings since it takes just about as long as waiting for amnesia to wear off before you could do anything anyway. Other than the accuracy that is.

I can't really see charmna being like curnsa because doom is different from most things in the game in that it has a countdown to your death. I think charmna will be instant.

...and Amnesina is very welcomed.

S-E wouldn't even have to add "Amnesia-na" to the game.

They could just instead create a WHM JA that temporarily increases the potency of the Erase and/or Esuna spell. When this JA's effect is active, Erase (and/or Esuna) is able to remove Amnesia (or whatever else ... like Mute or Charm, maybe, although those wouldn't work for Esuna).

They could also do this without even adding a new JA. Just make Erase capable of removing Amnesia (or whetever else) only when Afflatus Misery is active.

Many WHM's I encounter don't even know what Afflatus Misery is used for; making this proposed adjustment could get their attention and we'd maybe see Misery used more frequently in-game.

I like this idea, especially if it's something like... 2 min recast JA and erases multiple debuffs. It would suck if they were slowed and amnesiaed, and the super-charged erase takes away slow (I guess they would have to do a normal erase first, but recast timers on erase make the process less than ideal). I have this problem all the time on DNC with Healing Waltz.
