Test Server - Feedback on BLU spells

I'm inclined to agree with Nerevar, I was quite disappointed to see the 60 sec duration on Barrier Tusk

I don't know.. To me White Wind is underwhelming. It might shine a little in abyssea but not outside.

White wind is a dirt cheap curaga 3-4. That's awesome. BLU is the second best healer in the game currently...getting better.

This so much.

Magical Blue Spells still seem underpowered to me. I'd gladly take a dip in the effect of modifiers to get a base damage bonus on them. It's still very hard to get a good result out of magical spells without a lot of heavy gearing, especially with the range, cast time, and mp limitations magical blue spells have. Boost damage and streamline modifiers please.

Can't say I can agree with blue spells being underwhelming. I feel that a couple of the newer ones are actually too strong (Heavy strike and Dark orb are pretty strong in the physical and magical department from what I'm seeing). With appropriate gear of course.

I am saddened to hear that DA trait is not similar to War DA trait. This makes me feel that TA will also be weaker than Thf's version which if I recall correctly is only 5% base without merits. Does this mean TA will be equally weaker by only providing 3% TA? I would hope not considering it cost 12 points to set the trait.

White wind is 28.5% of total HP recovered, If you didn't have a breath build(HP+ gear) prior to 75(and have kept it updated to 90/95) now would be a very good time to get it together and try to build one. It is hardly effected by mnd or agi. Cure potency DOES effect it(of course), Healing magic I didnt try, but i can probably assume if it has any effect on white wind, it 'might' be a minimal effect.

So White Wind is an AoE healing breath effect?

[Ciecle]

AoE Healing, not a 'breath', just uses HP as a mod instead of the normal Mnd/healing skill setup that the other healing spells use.

A 'breath' setup uses mainly HP+ gear to increase the damage of the breath spells.(Heat breath = HP/2)

The healing equation for White wind seems to be HPRecover= f(HP*.285)(prior to cure potency)

[Hayward]

One point of concern: Sudden Lunge costs HP for Ladybugs (not sure of the percentage), including Dipper Yuly. Will this be the case for Blue Mages?
