I wouldn't complain if Stormsurge simply added 1% to Storm spells effect and nothing more - though ideally the stats boost would still be there and work like Gain spells rather than a static +#.

Hailstorm will already be subbable by 99, I'm all for reducing the levels and letting whm/sch aurorastorm itself especially if we get double weathers.

[Raksha]

This could potentially be a solution to SCHs light arts woes. Capped cure potency and double weather would give cure4 quite a punch.

the rough numbers i punched into a cure calculator came up with 740ish cure4. That's respectable without being overpowered. It doesnt solve the problem of needing a decent 2nd cure to alternate while spamming though.

Nor the problem of generating much more enmity than a 1200 HP Cure V.

Honestly, I don't think enmity gain would be a huge issue if it were just possible for any job other than White Mage to keep people alive in new content. Lower enmity gain is an advantage that White Mage has had since day one, and a pretty awesome bonus for the best healer to have.

However, only one job being able to make people not die for almost all new content is pretty dumb.

I just find it funny they gave us Raise 3 and Reraise 3 and no higher tier Cure.. It just makes no sense..

Also I believe that the new Gain and Boost abilities are a tad better than Storm spells when it comes to the stat boost it gives.

I think we should get Stormsurge II and have it raise the stats few a few more points and give double weather.

Or give us the ability to further enhance Storms spells, not like Klimaform but something better. A JA you can trigger that lasts for like 30 minutes and gives more stats to your storm affects and better magic acc.

The argument that Tier 2 weather would be overpowered mostly applies to Dark Arts, in which case, BLM still blows us out of the water(and rightfully so).

Edit: I definitely do not agree with the idea of triple weather. THAT would definitely be overpowered.

[TimeMage]

T2 weather would/should be castable on others and accesionable, so that shouldn't be a cause of complaint from WHMs or BLMs, on the contrary, for the small inconvenience of farming an obi, they get to be awesome.

i agree that getting the obis is worth it, but getting all 8 obis is *not* a small inconvenience. maybe i'm just lazy.

[TimeMage]

Well, I was mainly thinking of WHMs, as they only have to worry about Korin. On the other hand, Hyorin and Rairin are more than enough for nukers. I only have 4, Korin, Hyorin, Rairin and Furin for Aero V, and don't usually miss the others.

Obis are much easier than completing a +2 magian staff, and provide similar/better bonuses.
