Meteor

[Atoreis]

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.

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.

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.
