Blue Mage - Job Trait Development

[Ravenmore]

I'd like to see expanding the tier's if blue job traits. SE already has this method established with "Clear Mind" so why can they simply expand all the others. I think Paladin and Redmage sub job are the only jobs to offer a second tier of job trait for bluemages?

As an aside what's with auto refresh costing so many spells to get job trait? Almost every other ability only requires two spells to get job trait. I understand that at lower lvls want to limit a blu's ability to swap out traits, but as we approach lvl 99 this reasonng is really lame. I'd like to see and increase of +2 tic for every 4 spells of blu

At 75 + it only takes 2 spells to get auto refresh. I use winds of promy and AB, to get auto refresh. Also so no other job with auto refresh gets higher then Tier 1, they would have to get tier 2 before or at the same time.

occult acumen works with dark magic only, so only works for drk when you cast drain/aspir

Works on Elemental too - personal anecdata from SCH staff trials. I agree that it should at least work on magical BLU spells - anything that's elementally-typed.

As Raven said, Actinic Burst + Winds of Promyvion. The fact that the spells are so useful in their own right is just icing.

SMN gets the second tier at 90. So, maybe by 99? (Though, with Battery Charge, and some combination of Ballad III, Refresh II, or Evoker's, how much Refresh do we need?)
