Blue mage new spell list not up to standard

[SpankWustler]

MAYBE i didnt specify what i want SE to improve, but before u jump in and critic i ment when was the last time blu had any good magic spells? i mean for dmg purposes. SE are adding spells like dark orb and mortal ray why? they dont do good enough dmg, not worth the mp and the traits the give are mediocre at best. ppl are still using spells from 3yrs ago seems like we are being starved of good phy/mag dmg dealing spells. this is what i mean. agree to disagree if u pls ppl but pls state which new spells u are intersted in compared to old skool ones like Bludgeon, Spinal Cleave, Frenetic Rip, Hysteric Barrage and Disseverment. which i still use thank you

I'm not sure if you mean new-new or just "above 75", so I'll just list every spell above 75 that really stands out.

Plenilune Embrace
Goblin Rush
Whirl of Rage
Benthic Typhoon
Quadratic Continuum
Occultation
Charged Whisker
Delta Thrust
Everyone's Grudge

And soon...

Sudden Lunge
White Wind
Heavy Strike, which is automatically a critical hit! It will actually damage stuff with more than 2 defense!

I know it's only so good in Abyssea, but how can one really complain about this after Charged Whisker? It puts BLM to complete and utter shame.

[Tashan]

No it doesn't.

[Prothscar]

No it doesn't.

This, it really doesn't. Whisker Burning doesn't make a spell kick anyone's ass.

this is not a thread to complain about things we like or hate about blue spells ppl its a discussion and should be treated as such. as far as im concerned spells listed post 75 dont stack up to previous spells yes Plenilune Embrace has nice healing capabilities but the after effects dont last long and could be improved, but u make a good cause with Benthic Typhoon, great phsical spell even i have to admit that lol as for charged whisker im with prothscar and tashan its not that great. p/s after testing a few of the new 90-95 spells im not that impressed as i was pre 75 spells both phy/magical spells but this is my opinion. ppl please discuss issues your in a friendly many or forever hold your peace i want to learn and understand more what fans think not argue my case every five mins lmao

Animating Wail, Battery Charge, Goblin Rush, Vanity Dive, Magic Barrier, Whirl of Rage, Benthic Typhoon, Quad. Continuum, Dream Flower, Occultation, Charged Whisker (although not the way that was previously implied), Winds of Promy., Delta Thrust, Everyone's Grudge, Reaving Wind, Sudden Lunge, White Wind, Heavy Strike, and Dark Orb are awesome spells. I don't know what to tell you. :\

You keep saying this over and over, but never really explain why the numbers are disappointing you or even provide what kind of numbers you expect.

I think that's why you're getting the kind of replies that you are getting.

generally list what u like about the new spells that are coming for blu lvl 90-95 and also what u dont like about it. ive gone on about that too much now this is not an attack on who is right or wrong please read and understand before u write anything

I like that Heavy Strike is an automatic critical. I like that it costs very little MP for what it does. I don't like that the "automatic critical" bit will probably be a one-off and never happen to a spell again.

I like that Dark Orb will use the same atma as Everyone's Grudge, so I can actually make a really decent nuking atma set now. I don't like that it's single target.

I like that Sudden Lunge does more damage than Headbutt, has better modifiers, and stuns for a longer duration. I don't like that all things grow old and die, and that I am among them. One day, I shall expire from this earth, and no longer be able to cast Sudden Lunge.

^^ i like the last quote lol awesome but seriously seems like SE actually understood my cries and posted this on main forum about new up coming spells

Based on feedback and Test Server results, some adjustments have been made to blue mage spells.
Lowered accuracy of Heavy Strike
The amount of MP consumed for Dark Orb has been reduced about 20%
For balance purposes, the intention is for Heavy Strike to be very powerful, but with a higher chance to miss. Dark Orb was adjusted to balance cost performance in comparison to other Blue Magic.

Please try these out on the Test Server and provide feedback.

This is a follow-up to the previous post about Sudden Lunge.

We will work on fixing skillchain not showing up visually and in the logs, when Sudden Lunge produces a skillchain. (This is just a visual bug, and the effects of skill chain are actually triggered.)

thats more like it im excited now
