It’s been quite some time since we first announced that we would be implementing Meteor, but we’re about ready to get this bad boy in for you all to use.

The specifications are nearly finalized and we are planning the below stats:

• Can only cast Meteor while under the effect of Elemental Seal
  *For testing purposes, you will be able to use Meteor without Elemental Seal active on the test server.
• Non-elemental damage
• In the case that multiple party members also cast the spell, damage will increase. The animation will also vary.

We needed a good amount of time to add new elements to the game such as behavior when multiple players cast the spell, but it seems like we are just about ready to have you all test it out on the test server this week!

Cool, so the MAB Staff will be the best for it?

Dorje, Laevateinn, Maleficus and the MAB Magian Staff just went from "dreadful" to "useful every 10 minutes"

Getting Maleficus off my mule just to Meteor all the things?

Love that the rep that posts the Meteor news is the one with the Behemoth avatar... just sayin

Not quite. They went from "dreadful" to "the least dreadful option available". Without the bonus from an elemental staff or magic affinity, Meteor is going to have to be silly strong to be competitive, especially considering the MP cost.

Meteor was always non-elemental, at least it looks like SE have stuck to it so far.

While the stave issue is annoying, if done properly then Meteor should ignore all defences, and should be rather powerful with the six BLM mages.

I just want to say that, whatever else, it will be fun as hell to try it in an alliance of 18 BLM.
