The concept is that you acquire blue magic spells via learning and then you can change battle strategies by picking and choosing spells within the blue magic spell points and set limitations. If you were able to change spells freely, the whole battle strategy aspect would be lost, so we have no plans to remove/reduce the penalty.Reduce or get rid of the penalty incurred after setting blue magic spells.
No, 2k's pretty reasonable for Shoha outside; damage is a little inconsistent because SAM happens to have a lot of DA after the Zanshin update but as for the baseline WS, STR gear is easy to get so adding another 10 or 15 more on top of the 80 or so you're falling ass-backwards into with twilight helm/mail isn't going to magically turn it into something it isn't.
What it is is a solidly above-average WS that happened to be given to a job that can use it every 15 seconds or so.

hmmmmm, after running the numbers again on shoha's fTP and sam's general pool of available str gear, I'm going to take back my assertion that it needs to be nerfed because it's to strong. I still think it should be nerfed because sam is to strong in general, but the numbers seem to suggest that it doesn't need a significant nerf. The other merit ws, however, need a significant buff, if they're not going to make them at least a little uniform in terms of damage ranges.
pretty much this.
Eh... I wouldn't go there until it's for sure that people start coming SAM to everything again.
And after thinking it over, when I said "auto-capped from cruor buffs," I have to admit I was thinking of STR in context of DRK WS, where Scythe and Great Sword WS (outside of Resoluton) are more attack-based and STR only adds to fSTR, not WSC. Guess I've been playing DRK too much, lol.
This was only based off of a few times I have been able to use Shoha outside of Abyssea with only 2/5 merit pumps, I haven't played around with it as much outside of Abyssea since I capped it out, However I'm not going to argue the point but my gear is fine.my Shoha's roughly average between 1.8k~2.3k outside of abyssea.

...because the single displayed job is obviously a 100% accurate sign of a person's knowledge of the game mechanics, and there's no way that person could possible have other jobs. You don't see me accusing you of never even playing the game, mr. WAR lv. 1, do you? No, I think not. Go troll somewhere else.
Why are certain mongs comparing shohas from abyssea gdi abyssea is over, at least compare ws outside.
