Still no Quick spell Set's why? 60 second delay on spell sets why? ect ect.

[hideka]

why does blue mage not have the ability to store a pre made set in the game server and equip it in a rapid fasion? it wouldnt be a hard thing to implement, and would be horribly useful for all blue mages like myself, who use several diffrent sets depending on the situation.

why do we still have to wait 60 seconds on spell sets? thirty seconds would be FAR more prudent, and would allow us to NOT have to set 60 points worth of VW procs.

why, after we were told our proc spells were being lowered, are we working with 4+ procs per element in voidwatch?? it takes 2 blus deticating their entire spell sets to proc spells to cover all elements completely, and is a severe detrement to bluemages everywhere.

please se... im begging you... fix this; this is 2005 type issues in a 2012 game. please keep up with the times and demands of your player base :/

THIS. It was bad enough having to gimp myself with 6 proc spells before in abyssea. VW forces us to become completely useless.

lol thank you for criticizing a dyslexic slip, instead of putting up something more constructive >_>

@lithera

i normally just set full dual-wield III and moosh faces in with my 999+ attack power, and just work with 2-3 full elements instead of 4-5 and switch as needed. blu can drop 3k CDC's left and right on VWNMs and its no where near as bad a DD as people make it out to be, but our potency is SEVERELY limited due to not being able to set all of our good DD spells and good job traits.

Whenever I do VW I make it known that they may have to wait for me to set spells. The wait does suck, but I'm use to it.

However, the latest dev update may make it a little easier to deal with procs which are "unavailable" at the time. On one hand I wonder if this will benefit BLU with this. On the other I worry it may eliminate the one universal reason for alliances to allow BLUs to join in the first place.

I would adore BLU spell sets, and a lowered timer. I understand SE's reasoning for not letting us insta switch spells, but when they put us in situations in which we NEED to switch our spells constantly it's all a touch backwards. I've always said I would love macroable spell sets just for the convienace really, there is so many times I'm sitting there missing 3 set points going "Uuuh... what... what do I usually set here?".

In VW I set a group of "Core" spells and try to free up 10~ish points to sub in proc's when they are needed, but I really only respond to HV / EV procs and just pretend I don't hear the normal V's.

I can understand the reason behind 1 min cooldown time(barance and so on), but a macro that allows BLU to swap spell set like swap gear could be very useful.

Pretty much what all BLU's should do. BLU/WAR with DWIII set at a minimum, could also toss in Acc Bonus / Auto-Refresh. I debated putting TA but it requires a pretty hefty set point cost which leaves very little points left for proc spells or anything else. When we get a EV / HV for a BLU proc I like to set all the proc spells of that element so I only gotta wait one cycle to hit the proc. Thankfully during that period our JT's are still active so you can continue to do CDC spam during the 60s timer.

[Kitkat]

This is about all I do as blu in VW myself. Set DWIII (since subbing /nin is pointless with shadow strip AOE), maybe toss in a cure spell and leave the rest open for procs, even then i find myself having to reset a few times due to the number of proc spells needed per element and the cost to set them (I think Light element has highest point cost?). Takes nearly a couple min to reset sometimes even with the new auto-order spell list because of time to set each spell then wait 60 seconds before use.

I'd rather they lower the number of spells needed like they did in abyssea, just not to such a degree that is is just 1 per element. More around 2-3 max per element would be better than it is right now.
