Meteor

What happened to BLM getting Meteor at 99?

Either it's not fully completed, or it's a Merit tier III spell.

The notes say under development. So here is to hoping!
But something tells me that SE is going to do what they do best... and s***w blms overs again.

Just to be pedantic, they didnt didnt say it would be included with the 99 cap raise. So they could give blm meteor the day before they shut off the servers and it'd be in line with what they've said publicly.

But really though it'll probably either be a merit spell or part of the new 2hrs, who knows.

The dats showed six different animations for a meteor type spell, each one increasing in size and it looked a lot more like the spell shown in the opening movie.

Makes me think it can be 'party-casted' which probably takes time to implemet.

If it were a party casted spell that would be so freaking awesome, unless of course it did damage like comet, then it would again be a showmanship spell. I suggest that it cost alot of mp to cast with an insanely long recast timer, but please let it do the serious damage we are looking for. Also, if it is a party spell, make it castable by no more than 3 blm, or.... have it castable by 2 or more blms, and for each blm in the party that is casting it in addition to the orginal two casters, the spell increases in size and damge.

Everyone got your scroll of meteor? on :45, ready! If it is a party casted spell I would purchase this spell ASAP. As it stands now I'm in no rush for the current 91+ spells.

People can't even skillchain and magic burst anymore...what makes any of you think that they will be able to coordinate casting a single spell. hahahaha

People can't? I think more like what's the point; I'll MB if I have someone consistently doing SC. One of my DNC friends would call out everytime she was about to SC, so I could MB and get those 5~8k nukes.

But I'm not going to bend over backwards to try and MB, ecspecially in a world that's mostly abyssea anyway and the mob dies before you can ever target it. Of course I was suppose to MB on the dark skillchain that one-shotted the mob!

I should smash your figures for giving them that idea D:
though with Dynamis on easy farm mode relics for everyone!

I notice in the DAT's Meteor has been changed to non-elemental, whereas Meteor II is still light.

Well, at least I'm not the only one that noticed we've not recieved Meteor yet. At this point, I'll deal with it, but they need to make Comet more powerful, or at the VERY LEAST more accessible to get. Drop rates in WoE is abyssmal AT BEST and non-existant at worst. No other new BCNM that I'm aware of drops it (or the others for that matter). Though it's kinda sad that they're not giving us Meteor at 99, but we all saw this coming. What concerns me NOW is if it IS a part of the Tier III Merit system, what modifiers will it have on it. Hopefully, it will have a combination of Cumulative Damage Boost and Accuracy Boost while Doubling Magic Burst Damage. Just a thought.

Yeah, no kidding... I've been doing WoE consistently for about a month now and still no drop for any of these BLM spells.

A little birdie told me that Meteor is coming pretty soon!

/ma "Invisible" < me >
silly forum code messing up my emote...

edit: Sorry if my quotes are not good enough! No one lets the moogle have any fun...

Silly you for using quotes on a single word >.>;;

and the spaces in between the brackets, that's bad emote etiquette

CAPITAL LETTERS OMG

You stop deleting when you release they're like char strings and only need quotes for moore than one word... RuRu should be the fast to cast Meteor :p

Nothing at all wrong with that. That's algorithmically stable and faster.

I hope it doesn't get ridiculously hard to obtain (certain weapons, I'm looking at you). Sure, it's like a trademark spell for Black Mage in the series. I personally think it should be quested or something along that, get a story behind it.

should have to do a quest with those 3 taru-taru kids, or their mum in the past. Make it only able to be done at lvl. 90+

Only if the quest involves nuking them with Meteor.

definitely should be a quest based with a story behind them would be great but given how things are now a day, that would be like wishful thinking only.

I bet it will be linked to a piece of gear which will be a super super rare drop from Legion.

It would be really cool if SE introduced the MagiMaster in the new Nyzul Isle.

Faster by what? miliseconds? Its just as stable as well. Only reason I ever use quotes is when it requires more than one word or number to complete the string.

Algorithmically stable as in, an algorithm could use it without having to distinguish depending on the number of words.

Not that any of it matters (I use the faster (to type) version too), just saying you really have no reason to complain about it, when she's doing it right and you're using lazy hacks.

The 3 taru from Tenzen CoP fight, or are there other set of 3 annoying taru's? I wouldn't mind some payback on those 3 Tenzen taru after all these years

I didn't attack her and no reason you should be attacking me, I was saying she was being silly. Get off your high horse and lighten up. using a lazy hack?... how is it a hack if I'm using ingame mechanics the way it can be done? Sorry if I attacked your dream girl or something, but she's fully capable of defending herself if she felt offended.

Maybe someday us BLMs will get this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8k9Z...V0M_mzGlTVBq_s

Yup, those ones. The ones that cast Meteor.

Stepped on an imaginery toe, I see. I wasn't defending her, I was just disputing your assessment. Lazy hacks are just any mechanisms you use that abbreviate the original (formal) procedure, even if they're provided by the product itself. And I already said that I'm using it too. Lazy hacks are implemented by programmers to make life faster and more convenient, hence lazy. If you think that's more of an attack than calling someone silly over doing something the proper (if inconvenient) way, then I have nothing else to say to you. People get so easily offended sometimes, it's ridiculous. Whatever. Lost interest, moving on.

Can you elaborate on that?

Currently Meteor is set as a non-elemental spell, therefore none of the elemental staves will increase damage other than the INT. This may change to be the latter of the spells found in the dats, but the current Meteor which now has help text is non-elemental. Therefore the best non-Mythic staff for Meteor is Dorje.

Oh, my bad, I've seen the lower dark-elemental spell and assumed you were talking about that, hence the confusion.

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.
