Nope, this where you are wrong. way final fantasy has summoner set up is they clearly overpower black-mage in single-target damage.Dot's are mix between Bio 2, Maisma 2 Bio (followed with ruin+fester) repeat.

Blm's are used for mostly AoEs and trash clearly by tri-flaring shit out of things by using high end either's. there single damage not compare to summoner's damage.

however summoner has its flaws. while ago Black-mage got a buff to there single target damage. watch is but. why summoner didnt get a buff to here already if not awful aoe' damage.

with massive cool-down enkindle. "Tri-disaster is a disaster. let alone freeze is equally as icky!

Shadow-Flare and Bane are pretty good - but shadow flare has seriously high cast-time and bane is limited to about Aetherflow's you have . pulling more then 1 bane in a single fight is retarded.

they need another aoe' based spell. that hit's dangerously hard and is a Dot!, that isn't produced by a pet but by them. and works good with Shadow-Flare

Of course new and improved pet's different concepts that are completely different then what we have been used too. having technical dps type pet. that offers support in odd way to the summoner as well acting its main role as dps is important

now if your basing this outside the final fantasy 14 thought-line. big number's but slow on dps. where summoner rapidly constant hits like a trunk

Thus because of that, Ultima will never be castable by players - think of it like FFVII where Holy and Meteor were also tied into the story and could never be used by the player either in battle. Hells, even FFXI never had Ultima available as a player-castable spell either.

Flare and Ultima are the same move except SE renamed it and gave a weaker version of Ultima called Flare to Black Mage.

Actually, Ultima is in the game already its ise used by ultima weapon. its that green-pbaoe with knock-back, watch would be awesome spell for Black Mage. however lore wise. BLM learning ultimite form of black magic would have required a boss fight or something

if they add this to the player's base spell. they have high expections for this one be even more if not powerful then flare and meterio could even be used as Black-Mage personal limit-break
