Comet/Meteor

[Wolfjorg]

Wow is all I can say, I can't wait for blm to get this.

I don't know if Comet and Meteor would need to be 2hr only. if the wiki is right on them Comet is basically a single based dark elemental attack and Meteor is a non-elemental magic attack. That makes me wonder that if meteor is a non-elemental it's possible that you won't be able to MB unless they give it darkness element and basically give BLM their first dark based elemental dmg attack lol.
Comet could be a tier V type casting speed with similar recast and Meteor could be a AM like casting time with klimaform like recast. Which while it would mean Meteor has the potential to be strong you would only be able to use it every 3 minutes or 1.30 if you use alacrity. Let's see BLM is missing Thunder V, and two -jas. possible those spells will be 92, 94, 96, with the potential that they decide to make Comet 95 and Meteor 99. That would be my guess at least Thunder V 92, Blizzaja 94, Comet 95, Thundaja 96, Meteor 99. Though maybe they'll surprise BLM and decide to add tier 2 DoTs. At least it would add something different to the elemental dmg only spells they've gotten so far.(excluding aspir 2 and break)

Something that just came to mind though, they could perhaps make Meteor more unique to players by adding an effect to Meteor in which it's secondary effect is based on what -ja effect is currently active on the mob. Like with firaja on a mob meteor will deal increased dmg and be fired based. waterja could add addtional effect lowered acc/eva on the mob if you think of a meteor coming down evaporating the water and turning it intoa thick mist. But ya that's just a suggestion if they want to try adding some flavor to the meteor spell since we already know that it's a trademark non-elemental based attack, if they gave a nice twist to BLM's using it I think they would appreciate having options with the spell.

As for Ultima that should prolly be a WHM SCH or PLD ability. Most likely Divine magic to, it could either be light based on non-elemental but it would make no sense to give Ultima to BLM since ultima has always been considered a more light based affinity ability. Hm, maybe SCH, since WHM should be getting Holy 2 this update or next, for anyone that's fought against an IT WHM in dynamis you may have noticed they cast Holy II now and while sure something like utsusemi: san is something some high lv NIN mobs can use it's not really in the same tier of imbalance as Holy II, which would just be an empowered Holy. With the boost given to PLD's divine damage it would be nice to see them get Holy II at 99 and possibly WHM getting Holy II in the next 5 levels.

With holy II out of the way then perhaps SCH will get Ultima, since RDM was promised new enfeebles it wouldn't make sense to add Ultima for them when SE seems to want to focus them more on enhancing and enfeebling rather then their nuking potential.

You mean Impact?

For Meteor....damaging party members sounds about right, but I would assume it won't MPK

I think the spell in FF3 SNES/FF6 ps2 "Merton" did something similar?

Yes, merton, or Meltdown as it was called in the retranslation, hits both friends and foes. The same applies to the Crusader esper's attack, Quake, and Tornado.

[CrystalWeapon]

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

BLM will learn both Comet and Meteor.

Power...overwhelming...

<3 What more can I say.

[Malamasala]

Still wondering about one thing.

What is the difference between Meteorite from Carbuncle and Comet anyway?

[Merton9999]

Yeah Merton damaged enemies and the party, but could heal the party if everyone equipped flame shields...

Would be fun to see an Ultima from SCH that hits enemies and party members, but the effect of the spell varies based on the target's weather. If the target has Aurorastorm, Ultima heals them, without it it damages them. Aurorastorm because I think of Ultima as light element, if any, but mostly because Aurorastorm is seldom used except on healers. Foregoing Stormsurge bonuses (and I'm hoping other storm stat bonuses to come) to allow for Ultima usage would be an interesting trade-off. Also an odd form of DA Curaga for SCH that would still involve an Accession strategem use, but for Aurorastorm instead of Cure IV.

Mostly, I'm just looking forward to MPKing my LS when Aurorastorm "accidentally" wears off.

And, just to be mean, I'm suggesting the same behavior for Meteor, only with Voidstorm, so BLM has to have a SCH in the party to use it around party members!

Seriously, though, voting for Ultima as the Tabula Rasa spell, implemented as a simple high damage AOE spell on mobs only.

I think we all know what the enemies will be saying after blm receive these spells


It buurnss....

[OMEGA_HACK]

SCH will probably get Comet (the single target) but not Meteor, it's nothing we are really "demanding" its more or less the current system SE is using for SCH >.>

You will still demand Meteor even if SCH gets Comet
Ok.
