[dev1102] Meteor had better be obtainable!

[Byrth]

lol, you don't even need AF3+2. I do BLM to Voidwatch on my V.cloak mule and all it costs me is a little damage.

The difference between a Black Mage that lotted the things that dropped from monsters he was killing anyway and a dedicated Black Mage is Magian Affinity Staves and +2 Relic. I don't know any dedicated Black Mages, but I can look at the gear and tell you the amount of effort it requires to obtain way exceeds its usefulness.

I guess it's just different circles. I know a few dedicated BLM's in my LS, and they are usually the ones I can count on more to proc/stun. These are also the ones that will get Meteor first in our shell because they mainlot the job. While total nuke damage in VW may not matter as much when the strategy for most monsters is just proc/zerg, I expect SE to add more content like Legion (perhaps revamped Ein/Limbus) that will reward well-geared BLMs.

SE didn't want to pay the licensing fee for western clients otherwise it would be possible.

This makes me sad, since the divide will continue to exist until something is done about it...I am sure the licensing is affordable with the $$$ SE is making off this game. (Then again, I don't know the cost either so who am I to judge^^) Also my NA client displays kanji and kana perfectly, so an IME should not be that difficult to add. And I have already heard the argument about us potentially abusing their language by getting this ability...Who is to say the opposite does not also happen? Where is the trust and equality, I wonder...

Wishful thinking, perhaps. But it would be nice...

Finally seen a scroll on the AH on Phoenix... and 2 in bazaars now on the server. Half way to a full party of BLMs!
