Found this funny picture of BLM.

Nostalgia bomb, also so sad but so true... Why SE why... Oh well... There's always Blue Mage... Right?

Ugh, so much unnecessary bloat...

They should just remove Blizzard 2 from this game all together.

Yeah lol... Idk why smn even has Tri Disaster when it can just use Blizzard II

You're right though, don't wanna make things too difficult, got keep it PG until higher lvls are released.

Seriously though, had some good laughs when I saw this. I think there was one of WAR floating around too.

At level 99, due to adjustments in damage calculations and MP cost per spell: Stone 1 became BLM's most MP efficient spell. They could cast it nonstop, for 400-500 damage, and never get hate, and never run out of MP.

Sure, it's nowhere near as much fun as a 3000 damage Blizzard V was, but the latter spell cost almost 500 MP and took three times as long to cast and was likely to get an angry mob on your head. Stone 1? Basically, a barrage of annoying rocks at the monster who never batted an eye at you.

I love black mage in both games.

FF11 BLM actually seems more fun instead of FIREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tranpose or not....BLIZZAAAAAAAARRRRRRRDDD!
Lightning here and there...Rinse wash repeat. I still enjoy BLM very much here either way.

4. Repeat..

Yeah.

But in ARR we have a forum full of nostalgic whiners. It adds a lot of fun.

I see your sarcasm an raise you a cupcake. No crying here just a funny picture. Have fun.

When I played FF11 the only spells BLM used were Thunder 4, Blizzard 4, Thundaga 3, or Blizzaga 3, and Sleep/Sleepga 2.

Against HNMs it was even worse. You really only cast for magic bursts, because nuke spamming would cause the enemy to gain resistance too quickly, and your choices were Blizzard or Thunder onry.

I just spam scathe and call it a day. Don't have time to min/max with all that Astral nonsense.
