Where is Meteor?

[Tennotsukai]

Hey Camate, with all these changes to elemental magic, is there any chance you guys can take a look at Blue Mage's elemental spells as well? IMO, they are lacking way far behind most damage types in the game. With the exception of a few AoEs like Charged Whisker, Thunderbolt, and Thermal Pulse, I rarely use the other elemental spells.

[Demon6324236]

I hope AM gets a damage boost as well.

Besides that, I also hope many spells are still to come, Helix, NIN spells, BLU spells, Banish spells, and so on.

[RAIST]

Where is Meteor?

Still in the "non-elemental" category....unfortunately.

May be more accurate to call it elementally neutral....as it has no one specific elemental affinity, so likely not being included in the "elemental magic adjustments".

While you are correct, I hope they do not do it that way... the spell is already worthless enough as it is...

[Ophannus]

How about Helix?

[Babekeke]

Can anyone confirm whether the gap between INT+0 and INT+100 is linear?

[Zirael]

Impact?

[Secondplanet]

Are these gonna be applied to the elemental spirits for summoner? Or is that forgotten/Over looked like normal?
