[dev1003] Abyssea Adjustments (Blue Mage INeffective?)

[Yekyaa]

RE: Blue Mage spells.

Did you mean to say these spells will no longer be "ineffective"?
Or are they just not going to work for processing red/grellow/blue triggers any more?

I'm thinking it might have been a simple typo. Any dev want to double check that info?

[Ravenmore]

Think they are for 1000 needles were its a all or nothing spell and that doll spell that stun messes with the proc.

Went and check it out yeah looks like they are no longer going to work. what sucks is they taking the on useful spell to have set out.

Blue magic spells are only for grellow procs and it's not a typo. This means that Blue Mage will only need to set one spell per element now. Yay!

Oh wow, I totally misread that. Nice catch.
I forgot there were 2 spells per proc and they only removed one "Death Ray / Blitzstrahl / Hecatomb Wave / 1000 Needles / Frost Breath / Firespit / Regurgitation / Seedspray"

Although strangely, even at level 76 subbing BRD I never had an issue with procing the regular elemental Blue Magic (8 elements, dark/light were difficult sometimes)
The question remains, will this resolve the issue with procing BLU light element on mobs like Bennu? Wasn't Radiant Breath a problem as well or was it just 1000 Needles?

[Kwate]

Radiant Breath or 1000 needles, pick your poison, I chose the Breath spell.

[Chronofantasy]

I wish they would've gotten rid of Maelstrom and have kept Regurgitation. It will definitely make procing yellow easier for blu now.

[Garota]

Too lazy to go look'em up, but can the remaining spells be equipped as a subjob?

[Ravenmore]

No death ray was the only one that could be set under 45.

My bad you can set Mysterious Light at 40

[Garota]

Boo! So we still need to bring a BLU, unlike replacing BRD with BLM/BRD for Elemental Seal to efficiently land a threnody.

[Ravenmore]

Or you not take one on anything weaker then boss or +2 item mobs. The rest can just burn down and repop and hope it doesn't come up again. Though I would take ever job i could for those just cause getting pops for them in a pita.
