Test Server - Feedback on BLU spells

[Nosboh]

Just some info on Mortal Ray. I have tested it quite a bit and anything my level and below I have NOT been resisted once. And on the gaze attack, I have been able to land Mortal Ray with my back towards the monster, so I'm leaning towards the spell to be just like a single target nuke. I will get on and test it some more today to make sure my findings are accurate.

I do agree that the 60 kill timer is a bit long, 10 secs like the mob version would be awesome, however 30 secs would be a lot better.

[Shoko]

I also agree that 30 seconds would be a much better timer for Mortal Rays countdown duration. It would still allow for BLUs to maintain that crowd control aspect of the spell.

Pretty sure blu gazes require the mob to look at you, but not you to look at the mob

[tarolin]

Mortal ray would maybe be set if it had the following changes:
1: 30 second doom countdown on mob
2: single target nuke no gaze (asking a lot but hey why not =P) or even have gaze but small cone area effect.
3: mp down to 200 to cast
4: Lets say if you faced a mob same level with a magic gear and atmas maybe it could hit inleast 40% of the time
however i do agree nm's should be very low accuracy indeed.

Again asking a lot but if we dont ask then they wont make any changes.
Also SE please give us some multi hit Magic based Blu spells that hit good or give good stuff , Magic attacks for blu are hardly used and its a real shame.

NMs are currently immune to Mortal Ray, which is completely fine and within the bounds of reason.

[Mefuki]

Well, if all NM's are immune to doom (as it should be), then what's wrong with having it be a little more effective.

[Demonofhunger]

I've been trying to think of a situation to use Mortal Ray in. I mean, the number of monsters that I sleep/nuke is pretty small right now, so Mortal Ray's ability to kill things that are asleep seems to be of minimal use.

Maybe elementals, assuming some high-level non-NM ones will be added? Oozes? MNK or NIN or SMN mobs in Dynamis?

WHAT?!The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 10 characters.

My thoughts exactly Tash, but it seems like nobody else is noticing just how much BS this is....

[Kwate]

surprised Mortal Ray is getting so much attention.....
I'm just going throw it in the "sh*t bin" along with 1000 needles, bad breath and other epic "Failed" spells.

seriously, while the gimmick of "Doom" is enticing and fun to talk about, who's gonna use it for anything serious?

60 sec countdown
267mp (lets assuming it takes 1-3 casts to land), that's alot of both time and mp wasted

....on the bright side we should be thankful SE isn't forcing us to proc with this.

It's not a proc yet.
