Blue mage Job adjustments

I'm not sure how to reply to this. Um...Just reevaluate all our physical spells so that way ya'll can fix our broken spells.

I guess I must be ignorant to how BLU spells work. I thought the accuracy and potency of your physical spells were determined by the same stats that determined your melee accuracy and potency. This is why physical blu spells suck when I am mainhanding a club, rather than a sword. So any time I have eaten sushi, it has had no impact at all on my spells? WHY? That's just dumb, and it would definitely not make BLU overpowered to change this. We would still be one of the weakest DD.

There are two parts to physical blue spells with an added effect, like sudden lunge for example which has a stun effect.
You are correct that the accuracy of the blue spell, whether it will even land at all or not (or all hits of it if it is multi-hit), is determined by the accuracy of your main weapon and stats.
However, the added effect, which is magical, is determined by magic accuracy, not physical accuracy. So blue need high magic accuracy and high physical accuracy simultaneously to land the physical damage and also get the added effect.

They've already replied back concerning old spells. There will be no fixes, they'll simply be adding new spells that are designed to replace old spells. Not that this will cover the whole ecosystem in a timely manner, or allow you to have access to quite the breadth of useful spells that you could have, but it is what it is.

Yes, I saw this in another blue-mage thread somewhere but it wasn't posted by Calmate this time with the announcement after writing about it in my post. Mainly now all they need to add to make newer spells even more awesome is a feature called unlearn older spell or at least give us blues delete old spell feature simply because there replacing them with newer spells and folks now taking up blue will have to and should avoid learning the older spell's simply because newer spell's will be better then the older spells to have them all replaced over time with job traits included to each spell alone. ;-)

Just as the dev team see's it as without no compensation for those of us who took the time so long ago to learn the becoming worthless older spell's. Now all a blue needs to do is bam there blue to 99 and only then they should be learning just the newer replaced spell's. just how I see they are basically laughing at us older blues from a far into those who did learn those now stupid old spell's before Adoulin's added on expansion. Please at least give us a spell removal feature for your added new spell's coming in feature, Thanks dev. team.

Edit: Look for reason of my edit section for the notes!!

No, I'm saying that people that want to read what people are saying about BLU, will read through all of the BLU forums. You don't need to reply to one thread, then go into all the others telling people to go and check out what an awesome post you just wrote in another thread.

People love to hear other people's ideas, but try and keep them short and sweet.

And try and refrain from quoting/linking yourself... it just gives off that aura of "I love myself" and nobody cares for that. Once every now and again is fine, particularly if it's a link to a thread on an external site, or one in an obscure location, but there's no need to link to another thread at the top of the BLU forums, as most people will read it when it's had a new reply in it anyway.

Fine then!!! You Win!!!!!! I'm done!! HOPE your happy for peeing me off with your bullying perfectionist attacks on me and I don't take it kindly about it! I don't ever fudgen think my thread's, posts or replies are awesome and only fudgen reason I do it is to make the point clear and I don't think you get it at all. I dont do it to just to show my other posts in other threads either but do it knowing there may be newer folks who have stumbled onto that one thread and haven't searched for the other blu/other threads yet and it is totally optional if they rather click on the link that i've made clearly seen/visible or not as well. i'm not saying anymore for i'll probably get kicked for what I have all ready said here, /bow!!
