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.

    Have you seen the damage numbers for Meteor? Shut up and enjoy how awesome the spell is.

    People like you always seem to need a reason to bitch about something. Just stop it. It's fucking annoying.

    Say what!?

    1. The spell isn't gimp in any form.
    2. It was always non-elemental.
    3. It makes Affinity Staves and Weather Bonus pointless and that's all.
    4. You're the reason they put a block on it, Meteor wouldn't be the BLM's only spell, in waiting for Seal to return you can do MANY other spells.

    Troll harder!

    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?
