Questions from the black mages of Vana'diel!

[Darkwizardzin]

Ok sense for the past two weeks or so the developers have been giving answers to questions for some of the jobs in this game sooner or later they will answer questions about our job. The thing is... I don't think blms have been asking many questions so I've made a thread for us to. With any luck they will see this and take the time to answer some of our questions.

Below I will list the questions people have as they are given. If you have a question just post in this thread. If it can be answered by the playerbase we will answer it.. otherwise I will add it to the OP in the following list.

Current questions:

* Will there ever be another line of elemental enfebbiling spells? (burn, shock, ect) If not are there any plans to increase the power of these spells?

* Why was the trait "Occult Acumen" given to the black mages when most blm change staff items (based on the current spell they are casting) all the time? Do you actually plan to make a single weapon (staff or otherwise) that does everything in the future?

* Are there any plans to add bindga to our spell list?

* The carrying of many of the Obi's from the quest: "In the name of science" is a burden for our inventory. Are there any plans to allow us to combine them into one obi via synergy or another method?

* How does the Goetia gloves +2 enhance the effect of the job ability: "Enmity Douse" ?

* Can we have a job ability that increases the effectiveness of elemental magic to be equal to the most powerful elemental magic spell available?

Answered questions:

* Will the ancient magic II spells be adjusted when you change the merits? Currently the tier V spells outclass them in every way (the only thing they can't do is lower resistants to an element but that isn't enough to justify casting them any more because of there high mp cost).

* With the perpetually ever-increasing MP requirements for casting higher level spells, are there plans to decrease the insanely large gap in Galka MP pools versus every other race?

* The black mage mythic weapon (Laevateinn) becomes out done by magian staffs like Varuna's staff +2 (Ice affinty: Magic accuracy +1, Ice affinty: Magic Damage +5, Ice affinty: casting time -12%) in magic damage due to the stat "magic attack bouns" having less effect on damage the more of it you have...is this on purpose? If so why? and if not do you have plans to address this so that the weapon is more worth while to obtain?

* Are there any plans to add breakga to our spell list? (job adjustment shows that we will get this spell)


Don't by shy Black Mages! it's time for our questions to be heard!!!
