Stormsurge vs Boost/Gain.

[Yinnyth]

So true. WHM/SCH is capable of giving the weather boost and an independent stat boost, both of which provide simultaneous benefit. It really shoots the devs' dual-benefit defense for limited Stormsurge stat boosts out of the sky.

By that logic, sch can sub bard to use etudes to increase the amount of the attribute they're enhancing. My opinion is that the weather spells are about weather. Stormsurge is a secondary boost which also gives weather spells some use in situations where they wouldn't otherwise be useful.

Could just be me, but I'd rather see tier II storm spells (double weather) than a boost to stormsurge.
