If you BLMs are expecting to do amazing damage with this spell solo, think again.
This is with a Lv99 Laevateinn, following gear was used.
Lae99/Bugard+1/x/Witchstone
AF3+2/Goetia/Novio/Hecate's
AF3+2/AF3+2/Icesoul/Icesoul
Goetia/Sorcerer's/AF2+2/AF3+2
Didn't have +7 INT belt around me for some reason, but yeah, gives an idea.
Did another test comparing Comet and Meteor, using a dark path magian damage staff for Comet. Gear's the same in both spells except for the weapon. Obivously ES wasn't used for Meteor this time.
I understand it's meant to be a group spell, and I'll reserve judgment for that, but considering what most BLMs were hoping for, this is a severe disappointment. Talk about incredibly MP inefficient, as it costs 418 MP (209 with Parsimony). That brings it a whole new meaning. Of course, I do speak from a solo BLM perspective here.
Are there plans to make a similar spell meant for a solo BLM to cast to be worthwhile? I'd even be ok with it being light-based. Still better than we have atm as an alternative.
Also, the icon by Meteor indicates it could be dark elemental, but no, that doesn't matter. It's still non-elemental, for those hoping it could be dark. Even still, the damage wouldn't be much different.
Suppose the question is, how many BLMs would want to team up to test this the way it should really be tested?
