Meteor

[Mahoro]

No SE chose to make it non elemental (unknown if it is also the case for AV and behemoths), and making it non elemental makes 90% of BLM gear trash for it. No idea why they made it non elemental in the first place. It sounded cool maybe buy now they are facing the consequences of their choices. At least we learned that mobs have no magic evasion to non elemental damage, so we can be certain that mob's stats are "elemental : +x magic evasion" and also that "magic evasion" gear doesn't affect non elemental damage. Not that it matters.

It the end we are getting a gimp spell that you can only use once, completely defeating the purpose of gathering 6 BLM in the party.

They explained exactly why they made it non elemental in the post you quoted before. It begs logic how you can still be confused.

Who cares if 90% of gear is trash for it? Just means the 10% of gear left over is finally NON-trash.

From initial testing, the spell is most definitely NOT gimp. Here's hoping they don't downwardly adjust.

No they didn't explain the choice for non elemental. And no monster casting meteor has never been proven to be non elemental.

[Mahoro]

It's all in his post. You wouldn't want a spell that takes that many resources to deal inconsistent damage.

90%? Staves, obis, twilight cape, of which only the first are important? What other elemental gear do you use?

Because them casting one wtfincredible spell every 10min is somehow stopping them from doing everything else they normally do?

You know how stupid this sounds?
Its like you would say DEX mod for Shijin Spiral is stupid because it made 90% of usual MNK WS gear a trash...
You need different set for Shijin Spiral and you need different set for Meteor.
Its actually pretty cool that finally BLM can make some new set instead of usual same equip for all nukes with staff/obi only things changing.

Who cares if it makes magian staffs and day/weather gear useless, just slap on all your MAB and Int+ gear, as for a staffs the best one would be Mystic hands down since it enhances Elemental Seal or just get a Dorje, not like its hard to get a PW set any more.

Blm now gets a Awesome spell that can be used without fear of getting super resist. now i just have to wait for Cait Sith

No, it's like saying "I don't know what I'm talking about", or "I over-exaggerate things to make my point seem more important than it is".
8 x staves, be it magian or lv51, 8 obis, 8 grips, twilight cape and sorcerer's tonban. That's 26 items that require the spell to have an element. For that to be 90% of your gear, it means you only use 3 other items on BLM.

Oh dear.

Well, your complaints have paid off. SE added an NPC today in Bibiki Bay (after you take the boat) that sells the scroll of 2.2M. The NPC is named Muy Gambian and is the first NPC to the left after you step off the boat. I guess it is too hard for you guys to actually do the work and win it in Voidwatch.

I bought one and used it, but I did not have enough gil for a second one. I should have bought it and sold it in my bazaar for 30,000,000 gil instead before the price drops, but I was too excited after getting it.
