Apocatastasis?

apocastasis is op.

you just have to know where to use it. and it says it reduces elemental damage, nowhere does it say only fire, wind, and ice.

i normally toss it on during aetherial profusion during t5. on anyone with too many stacks from the snakes, or just on mt.

it's also nice for pvp.

It does decrease damage from other elements however since elemental resistance is the same in ARR for every element. YoshiP didn't want people to include a specific job because of the elements they have access to.

The ability itself says only fire, ice, and lightning. lol Tooltips aren't terribly hard to read.

It's nice on fireball in T5 and Ifrit Ex. That's about it. Should probably be a mantra-like ability and function like manaward does. Currently pretty useless with just extremely specific uses.

It´s like cure III. I allmost never use it but if I do everybody is happy I did.

I don't get why people post without checking absolutely anything related to the matter. Yeah, nowhere does it say it only reduces fire, wind and ice, and that is because it says it reduces fire, thunder and ice. It reads on the fricking tooltip. And lemon8or, enemies do have the same elemental resistance for every element, but players do not, you can alter your elemental resistance with gear and your starting guardian.

The thing is, why put an elemental resist ability when we dont have any elemental weakness or the elemental wheel? Those are the things that bother me from SE

honestly I don't really like it and it's - in my opinion - not really "black-mage"-specific.
Anyway, I find it poor. 12 seconds, + 60 seconds of resistance to other apocatastasis, + 120 seconds of recast time.

LOL. I find it a bit useless.

They need to change it to and enemy debuff that lowers their resistance to Fire, Ice and Lightning by 30%. Currently, the only BLM buff is a cross class skill we steal from Archers. Making Apoctastasis a debuff would make much more since to the job itself and would make it super useful.
