Remove Malefic II [Ast]

It's pointless to have both Malefic I and Malefic II. It would be a lot better to just scale Malefic with your level/stats. It's also rather annoying to switch when Malefic II gets level synced out of content.

I wonder if black mage senpai will share their new Thunder system with other jobs. I don't like Broil either.

Can we wait until we see the Stormblood changes before making suggestions?

That would be the worst timing. By then the changes would already be set in stone.

A trait at the specific level would work for those spells and similar ones.

They have probably already been decided months ago.

the easy way to scale would basically be replacing malefic II with a trait. at that level, malefic becomes higher potency. at lower level, it's the normal potency because the trait isn't active.

thunder 1 used to be a cross class skill. They took it away when they made Blizzard 2 a CC skill

I am certain that the Stones, Malefics/Stella, and Ruins/Broil were one of the first things they looked into when they talked about skill bloat and the adjustments they are planning to make in Stormblood to keep the number of actions roughly the same between 60 and 70.

Ruin II should replace Ruin I, but Broil should stay the same.
Ruin II is an instant spell from Arcanist, and Broil is a casting spell from Scholar.
It's not the same thing at all (even with the animation).
Regarding the situation, if you have already put Bio and Miasma and if you have nothing else to instant cast, then Ruin II is the only thing left.

Ruin 2 costs much more MP than ruin 1, and applies blind.

These two should remain separate, since you should not be spamming ruin 2 if you don't have to, because you'll be causing diminishing returns on blind.
