Spell Wishlist

Here are some some spells I'd like as a BLU. I want some for the damage, some for the effect, and some for the animation.

-Spike Flail Massive damage. Dragons.

-Hellish Crescendo: Area of Effect damage with Additional Effect: Paralysis. Great animation and effect. Caturae.

-Hellsnap AoE Stun. Great animation. Dvergr.

-Cyclonic Turmoil: AoE Wind damage, Knockback, and multiple effect Dispel. Great effect. Pixies.

Leeching Current: AoE Water damage + HP drain. Great effect.

Good idea! I wouldn't mind seeing:

Bloody Claws, Mighty Guard (obviously), Crystal Cocoon, and maybe another buff like Bubble Armor, Bubble Curtain, or Scissor Guard. I really want to see more buffs but wouldn't mind seeing a good offensive spell as well.

Bionic Boost.... LOL

White Wind - Restores HP based on how much the caster has in an area of effect
Crystaline Cocoon - Protect and Shell self target, perhaps scaling up depending on blue magic skill up to almost Protect/Shell V to make it useful.
Scissor Guard - +100% Defense Up (Cocoon+1, could substitute this with Water Wall from Pugils)
Frog Cheer - AoE Magic Attack boost & Elemental Seal (lols)

Only one spell BLU truly needs and that's a Phalanx spell. Let us learn Granite Skin and make it a Phalanx effect.

I agree with the Phalanx part, however its not the "only" spell we need, a good protect/shell spell is in order.
Vazerus's post pretty much covered some good points. 91-95 would be a good update for some great buffs, then 96-99 for some epic damage spells would be nice.

Yes, because I want to kill incredibly difficult mobs 50 times because I have absolutely shit luck learning stuff. Right.

huh?!? man you're on the wrong job, that's part of the fun.

Also need a good stoneskin

We're missing white wind, the classic. Also, I wish the goddamn new spells auto-sorted. Someone willing to make a thread in the bug forums to get better attention to this problem?

lol the spell that has been waiting to be implemented is TP Drainkiss, it has been in the .dats since the dawn of time xD

some of the others mentioned would be nice, to add to them i would liek to add an evasion bonus spell that isnt completely crap like feather barrier idc which, there are many lol

* Antica - Sand Veil
* Beetles - Rhino Guard
* Buffalo - Rabid Dance
* Cravers - Material Fend
* Lizards - Secretion
* Pugils - Water Shield
* Scorpions - Evasion
* Sea Monks - Hard Membrane
* Tonberries - Sigh
* Wanderers - Mirage
* Wyverns - Wind Wall

to be useful it would need to last 1-2 minutes and add 50+evasion

I wouldnt mind a good buff spell as mentioned, I also wanna see Throat Stab....lol

White Wind and Mighty Guard. That is all.

Blaster - paralyze - couerls (low set cost, 1 or 2points)
Flame Armor - fire spikes - behemoths
Antiphase - silencega (or at least not gaze) - Goobues
Haymaker - dmg and Amnesia on target - Trolls

i would be happy with White Wind being an enhanced Healing breeze and Mighty Guard being phalanx or Reduces Massive dmg or w/e like brd and Ninja have (migawari or w/e)

White wind would definitely be awesome given that we haven't seen a group heal since level 15. I seriously doubt they'd give us spike flail. If anything, we'd see absolute terror (jettatura +1? lol) or horrid roar.

I do think they're building up to us being able to get at least one spell from each monster family in the game apart from unique quest/mission NM's.

The inability to add items to auto translate has been brought up time and time again even tho it has been answered

It is a PS2 memory limitation that is why there are no new areas auto translates or the like.

AQUABREATH, dammit!

No, I agree with Coldbrand - the fact that none of the spells past 75 (and even some before) auto-sort is pretty annoying. Especially when you get them organized by flavor, level another job and hit sort to get those in order, only to lose all the rest of your organization.

The auto-sort function for new spells is a problem for all new spells. It has to do with the ID that they are assigned I think. Newest entries in any listings in this game tend to be at the end. I agree it's annoying and would like to see a fix, but I can understand if it's not in the devs' biggest interests right now.

I'll take new spells over autotranslate functions any day lol

TP Drainkiss - 2 sec cast
Spike Flail - Only does damage when the mob is facing your back lol (kiting should be fun
Magic ShieldGA - because diffusion's timer is utterly unusable
Saline coatGA - read the above
Enspell - Any.
Jettatura +1 - I'd like to fear a mob thank you. Like... really fear it like mobs or that great sword does.

TP Drainkiss is gonna break Almace, hopefully we get the spell, should be possible to SC Light pretty consistent if you offhand 2-4.

Need a Spell for Aspir+1
MP Drainkiss is kinda outdated X.x

There really isn't much of a point to have a +1 aspir spell, thats like asking for the +1 drain which is Osmosis that nobody uses. I would rather see them give us tankability buffs, and physical blue magic.... and maybe reraise... Just a thought lol.

idk if any mobs cast reraise, maybe the SEA mobs? tp drainkiss probably wouldn't be as good as MPDrainkiss (and i think haste-attacking will gain tp quicker then a spell. but would definitely win for back-tanking). we definitely need to stay ahead of nin for killing stuff without looking at it ^^

Nope, they just naturally reraise.

never know, SE morphed Battery Charge to our favor, so you never know. But definitely not holding my breath on that.

Well someone had mentioned the repurposing of a Gears "Restoral" as a means to reraise, which I could see that and would love that. And yes you do have a point with the Battery Charge, it was originally not intended for the purpose that BLU's get it for now. Which is why it was theorized before that it would act as a type of "Convert" for BLU's that would convert TP into MP directly. That was one of the many cool ideas to emerge out of the BLU community however it fell flat on its face. Much as my idea for how Everyone's Grudge should work for BLU. That the damage would have a STAT multiplier but be based off of how much hate a BLU has on a mob (much as the WS Atonement for PLD). So as a BLU we always pull hate, and with this ability the more hate you have, the more damage you would do with the spell. Then of course when you use the spell, it would whipe your hate, so that you couldn't spam the spell, because it would definitely be a powerful spell. This way a BLU could be in complete control of his hate, and yet also deal incredible damage. /Sigh SE why don't you consult me on how these spells should work, instead of coping out and making them based on MND... When its a dark based spell (did anyone else think that was kinda f*cked up?) -_-

I've decided I'd also like Artificial Gravity off Gears. It's just looks cool.

.... Do you have any particular useful reason for it, or just want to see the pretty colors?

AoE Gravity and damage. It would make gathering mobs for AoE Abyssea farming much easier.

That being said, when I saw the animation I was like "I must have that!"

My only real wishes for BLU would be a Phalanx, a Stoneskin worth using and a decent paralyze. A retooled Granite Skin that acts as a phalanx based off of blue magic skill similar to enhancing magic's phalanx would be superb. Magma Hoplon for stoneskin would be pretty cool too, don't even need the blaze spikes, (although I always found it odd that we get the other spikes but no blaze), it would have to be a decent cost and potency though (39-45 MP for 350~400 damage or so absorbed is a reasonable request considering gear that enhances stoneskin doesn't work for our spells). Hex Eye or Blaster for paralyze would be great too, maybe lower the potency to be more reasonable but it would have to be stronger than Paralyze, Mind Blast already caps at 20% iirc, with a decent MP cost of course.

That kinda opens up a little bit of a tangent, why do all of our enfeebles have a lower priority than every other enfeeble of that type (with the exception of Disseverment's poison)? For example, Auroral Drape and Light of Penance are the strongest forms of blind that players can cast iirc, but even a simple Kurayami overwrites either of them. Dream Flower is essentially sleepga II, but it's overwritten by every other sleep spell (besides our own of course, wouldn't want to make it too overpowered amirite?). Just food for thought, maybe make our future spells on par with other enfeebles in terms of priority so that they aren't constantly overwritten.

I predict that we will get a lot of HNM style spells upwards to 90. Considering Abyssea has now added many NQ quality versions of these monsters, it wouldn't be too difficult to learn them.

If not, then we will certainly learn more spells from any new areas implemented into the game if new families are introduced with it.

i think ours are overwritten because Rdm gets tons of duration+ enhancements. it just makes it easier then decided which should be which and let blu's enfeeble when they are solo and rdm do it in a party/alliance setup.

My Wishlist for 96+ spells would be.

Barbed Crescent- Single Target hit +Acc Down

Shackled Fists- for a new 5 hit spell

Crystaline Cocoon

Mighty Guard.

So your only wish is everything?

Phalanx, Stoneskin and Paralyze counts as everything? You're pretty bad at this game if your answer is "Yes".

Would like to add a new breath spell, though. We haven't received a new one since 75 yet.

think was urteil mean is you blu have the most spells from other jobs, now want the rest

No we don't, and what we do have is all of reasonably lower potency. Other jobs still do what they do better than BLU can in every possible way, besides maybe healing vs. RDM. Other jobs also have their own spells that we don't and that I certainly don't want. Wanting a useful stoneskin and paralyze is hardly asking for the heart of every other job in the game.

Did DRG steal your poor mage's spell when they got stoneskin for their wyvern? Poor babies ]:

What spells do blue mage not have of other jobs then? I can't think of any of the top of my head except the ones your asking for.
