Hey everyone since SE wants us to talk about the stuff that we can play with on the test server I thought I could make this thread. Here all of us who are in the testing server can comment on the stuff given to us.
Hopefuly SE can take this feedback and adjust the spells/ja to our liking. To make it organized I'd like posters to present each post in the following format:
topic of interest (like a spell) here in bold:
Comments and/or opinions on topic
With this simple format we can make it easy for the admins to read our opinions but feel free to write your opinions in your own way if you don't like this set up.
I'll go first to start things off.
Breakga:
Not much to say about this... It's just an aoe version of break. From what I've seen it's has no bugs and it works for stoping monsters that can be effected by it.
Blizzaja:
The next tier of the ja spells... I've played with this alot and seen no problems with it as well.
Thunder V:
next of the single target spells... Like with blizzaja I've used it and like the spell. No problems here.
Comet:
Unlike the other spells on this list im a little (keep in mind just a little) dissapointed with this spell. From what I've seen the damage it does is on par (or a little greater) with Thunder V. This wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't for the fact that Comet cost 73 more mp to cast. having to use up more mp for a spell when there is very little of a damage increase isn't very good. I can understand that comet should be used in conjuction with other black mages casting it together (the damage seems to go up by 400~ with each cast inside abyssea) but other then that using comet is a waste of mp unless the monster we are fighting is weak to the dark element.
I think the base damage of comet should be increased by a small amount (again not by much) or just lower it's high mp cost by like 20~30 mp. Again Im not saying this is a bad spell just think it could use a small tweek.
Manawell:
This skill is wonderful. 0 mp cost for a spell... that you can also give to a party member.
This is a very nice skill that will be very useful for both helping others and increasing our offensive capablity.
All and all what we will be getting is very good. Only had a small annoyance with comet but it's not a big deal.
Come fellow testers our opinions must be known!
