Are we gonna see these spells for BLM in the future ?

One of the best things that makes BLM my favorite in every FF game, is the diversity of their spells , FF7 and FFXI were my favorite
i was wondering if the development team are planing to give us these spells soon or in the future ?
Tornado - Quake - Burst - Break - Comet - Ultima - Metor - Stun - Drain - Death - Gravity or Demi - Dispel

Ultima will probably never appear, given the fact it was connected directly into the main storyline -

being Ultima Weapon's 'final attack', and the spell Lahabrea used to obliterate the Praetorium after all

, so I don't think players will ever have that spell available to them.

The rest, well, anything is possible once the level cap is raised. Bare in mind though that due to the fact the elemental wheel has been abolished, all spells in the game now are effectively non-elemental despite their names, so there really wouldn't be too much to set any of them apart really other than their animation and potency.

Meteor is currently the magic DPS Lvl 3 Limit Break, and I think Comet is Lvl 2. So there's those two. Quake and Tornado would go to WHM if anything if they stay strict with the elements. The rest may be fair game, though SMN/SCH has an ability called Energy Drain, so that may be taking the place of Drain currently.

tornado, quake and other spells like that fit Geomancer more than anything.
Meteor and comet are currently LBs, and normally are time mage spells.
Death and break would miss
Dispel wouldn't work on endgame content.
Ultima is for Ultima weapon.
Gravity/demi usually do fractional damage, so that also wouldn't work properly. But Diablos' attack just does raw damage now instead of having a gravity effect so it probably won't be in here.

Tornado and Quake is delegated to Conjurers... since earth and wind elements tie into their lore for ARR.

Burst break comet meteor ultima is relageted to mob attacks/limit breaks.
Stun... Paladin is in charge of that. (oh you want the spell? No, because the mechanic is already there, you have sleep as a crowd control already).
Drain, prolly darknight exclusive or SMN/SCH already has it.
Death, boss exclusive spike damage mechanic probably.
Gravity or demi MAYBE. The better version of Scathe probably.
Dispel... we already have it for other jobs. And monk has one ilm punch but it hardly dispels anything.

In short, you have to take the nostalgia out of blackmages. Once that elemental wheel was gone, you knew Blackmage isn't ganna be 'traditional'. And begin looking at is as 'what job already doesn't have THAT spell's EFFECT?' and doesn't sound too [Overpower].

*edit* Actually... twintania has death.... sentence :P

We already have an AoE stun, although it doesn't work on dungeon bosses :/

Swiftcast + Sleep

:cool:

Tornado - No; Wind element. Though I'd love to see it on a dps CNJ job... (Geomancer? Storm mage?)
Quake - No; earth element. Same as above.
Burst - Maybe, except that there are no element-specific resistances in use presently.
Break - Unlikely, it's debuffing characteristic puts at equal grounds for Arcanist and Earth Element for Conjurer
Comet - LB1
Ultima - Main story move; doubt we get to mimic an arena-destroying spell
Metor - LB3
Stun - Unlikely, since no ranged class has a stun presently
Drain - More likely to be ACN
Death - More likely to be ACN and altogether unlikely
Gravity - fractional damage; unlikely to be seen in this MMO
Demi - same ability as above
Dispel - All cleanses are currently limited to healers

Acheron already uses Quake III.

I can see Ultima being a blue mage lb3 or something.

Monk have a dispel actually, it's not really useful since most of the bosses' buff can't be removed, only place where it works at lvl 50 is against Haukke manor last boss where you can remove stone skin that the arhiman puts on the boss.
