Comet/Meteor

[Alkar]

lvl 95, which is why I think the light based nuke isnt going to be our 2hr spell, it would more likely be a lvl 99 thing

Odin and Alexander aren't level 99 and like I said these levels and spells are not set in stone.

Odin is loltastic anyway, seriously. Alexander is so much better it's not even funny. Why would BLM complain anyway? Odin's been a SMN staple since FF3.


But anyway, I agree that SCH seems to be lacking more on the healing side than nuking. I still don't think giving SCH (and RDM) Cure V is the way to go, for fear of returning to ToAU-era XI where it was pretty much Pink Mage or bust and WHM was rarely seen exept at HNMs for R3 or Curagas.

I just don't know what more spells SE could add, since they've already stated they don't want to add more stratagems and over-complicate the job. Some more unique, SCH-only buffs would be cool. Would native Haste be asking too much?

I don't know about loltastic, but it doesn't have as much use anymore anyway.

on Kirin it can take a formidable portion of its HP off in one fell swoop.

They'd complain for the same reason you are complaining about SCH getting Ultima. Odin was capable of breaking the 9999 damage limit on some bosses and without getting hate for it. BLMs didn't complain because after you use it once that's it.
How do you think the Tabula Rasa exclusive spell will work? One cast and the 2hr will wear off. Meteor will most likely fall in the same category.

Odin and Alexander are also expansion rewards. As far as we know this SCH spell won't be.

Also It wouldn't surprise me if SMN got another 2hr only avatar at 99.

[OMEGA_HACK]

I hope Ultima is a quest driven spell (after all in the SCH storyline you learn of a spell that you cannot cast yet because its old and powerful). Something similar to the Odin/Alex caliber would be cool.

[Malamasala]

Bahamut as 2 hour only, AOE 9999 damage everywhere wouldn't be that bad. I'd as usual never use it except in an 18 SMN alliance so it would hardly be worth the effort of adding it, but it would be like getting candy from the doctor... that little extra.

[Raxiaz]

Bahamut is not going to become a summon.

The "comet" .dat that was added was most likely added for the "Impact" spell given from Twilight Cloak. I could be mistaken. But I think I recall "Impact" being just a silly little Comet spell, renamed. Also, not worth the MP and cast time. Disappointing to say the least?

Ultima makes more sense. Non-elemental critical magic damage once every 2 hours (outside of abyssea, of course) seems perfect for SCH. I wouldn't want it to be a "healing" spell. Things like that should stay outside of 2hrs (for all jobs except WHM).

[Camate]

Going to make this concise and just come out and say it.

BLM will learn both Comet and Meteor.

Power...overwhelming...
