FINAL FANTASY XI Job Adjustmentｓ Manifesto [Blue Mage]

[Tennotsukai]

Absolute Terror - hope it has a quick cast time and long duration or else it won't be used.

Gates of Hades - I really want this to be our next CW as well or use it for its nice burn effect.

Pyric Bulwark - This is the spell I have my highest hopes for. I would like to see something with a long cast time, long duration (5 min?), and have it prevent a certain number of hits per skill. Course, that's just me dreaming... How about a new stoneskin for just physical dmg that can be combined with Magic Barrier if you wanted. Hmm, but this might just be another useless UL spell we'll learn. I can't wait to hear about more possible blu spells. Keep them coming, Camate!

-edit: Also, wouldn't mind a strong 5 min phalanx

I think we can just call it now and say that all three new spells are going to be underwhelming if the last update was any indication.

They won't or can't give us anything nearly as good as the HNM moves, so I'm expecting:

Gates of Hades: low-damage fire AOE and 10/tic Burn effect.

Absolute Terror: very low mag-acc Terror with long cast time and a duration of 2 secs on some trash mobs and less on all others.

Pyric Bulwark: Stoneskin that is a little worse than RDM Stoneskin.

This is better than what DRK gets, we don't even have a move with Terror in the name.

They wont give a spell that lasts the full time of the JA recast, it'd be 3 minutes at most.

Also they gave their version of a Phalanx last update, they wont add another. I'm still calling a ~500dmg Stoneskin.

I can understand the pessimistic views on SE making UL spells with a duration not lasting the recast of UL, but there is always a chance. After all, Stoneskin spells (with the exception of SMN) all last 5 min duration.

SE can be full of surprises at times. Remember Occultation? You think if they were to place Occultation under UL it would be only a 3 min duration with 3 more blinks?

Of course, SE likes to fail at times, too. Let's hope for no more fail spells like Feather Barrier, Hydro Shot, and Barrier Tusk.
