FINAL FANTASY XI Job Adjustmentｓ Manifesto [Blue Mage]

[Prothscar]

Yeah I used Asuran Claws for the first time this week and it was so amazingly luckluster.

It did the same damage as Delta Thrust for me.

Surprised it did that much tbh. On paper it's a great spell, but the way fTP works on BLU spells sort of ruins any prospect of it ever doing reasonable damage.

BLU... the only job where the overwhelming majority of your abilities were terrible at the level you got them and they never had the niche use that people thought they had.

Wishlist:

I would like a spell that lowers the enemies attack and magic attack, kind of like Benthic Typhoon but the other way around. Spike Flail and Bloody Claws sure would be nice, too....but yahh, hard to ask for.

Also, wouldn't mind a couple more buff spells, a new stoneskin would be handy, can never go wrong with phalanx, though I'm sure SE has made it clear we're not ever going to get a phalanx, and I would like a spell to increase our evasion for longer than 30 seconds (something like 3 minutes would do).

Overall, BLU's got a lot of physical spells that debuff (delta thrust & benthic)...would really like to see more spells like these. Would really appreciate anything with 3 minutes or more for our buffs. Lastly, please fix some of our terrible spells that we never use....ever.... (Feather Barrier, Barrier Tusk, and etc.) Asuran Claws is sad...maybe increase its set points to make it as good as hysteric barrage? I realize this is kind of like a Christmas list so if anything...SE, you can get me all of this for Christmas. Thank you!

Bloody Claws would be so sexy. :\

I think this is right:

Spell - Blue Mage Points cost (Job Trait)
Barbed Crescent - 2 (Dual Wield)
Wind Breath - 2 (Fast Cast)
Vapor Spray - 3 (Max MP)
Amorphic Spikes - 4 (Gil finder spells plus this = Treasure Hunter)
Thunder Breath - 4 (Max HP)
O. Counterstance - 5 (Counter)
Quadrastrike - 5 (Skillchain Bonus)

Pythic thingy is broken only get a "Has no effect" error when I use it.

I doubt we'll get more slots, because we could set and have every job trait if they did which would make every other job /cry.

Would they really care, they're always weaker than main job anyway?
