Test Server - Feedback on BLU spells

[Aver]

Because you already have everything that's useful. What are we going to start giving BLU chainspell and hundred fists, Cure VI, Thundaja and Samurai Meditate II?

OH GOD, WHAT HAVE I DONE.

lolemodrk.

Naturally this is a blu thread, so we talk about what we want to see improved, so back on topic.

Some thoughts on the recent batch of spells:

Heavy Strike should be unnerfed, increase it's cooldown if you have to balance it.
Barrier Tusk's duration isn't long enough to really justify using it. What's with the extra long casting time and mp cost too?
Dark Orb is ok, but really not great damage, especially compared to the kind of stuff other mage jobs have/got at 95.
Water Bomb isn't bad, but the damage is still not great. It's prettymuch only an enmity tool, and for situations where you want to silence a group of enemies.
Sudden Lunge is good. No complaints
Thunderbolt this is on a 5 min cooldown SE and it's used to stun. Cut the casting time and up the damage at least a little.

Your grasp on what Blue Mage has is, unsurprisingly, wrong.

It's good to hear that there will be new puks in the field to learn White Wind from.

Puks were added to The Boyahda Tree along with new crabs and crawlers...but they're placed DEEP within.

Fix Heavy Strike now please. It's completely useless at the moment. I can't even land it reliably on dynamis statues.

Edit: Did anyone even test this accuracy nerf over at SE? I'm not talking about the test server, because if they had been paying attention to the test server feedback, the nerf never would have happened in the first place. The accuracy penalty is absolutely insane.

And they're IT to 95s.

I looked at the page for those, saw "level range: 102~105" and was like "well, that's interesting".

Oh it's going to be fun learning this tonight, lol.

I hope you're not implying RDM is a step up from BLU.

In terms of buffing which a Whm or Sch could do it is, otherwise no.
