BLM Thunderstorm

Can y'all make it to where when Thunderstorm kicks in, the animation and sounds are different? Maybe something like the FX for when Ramuh puts the circle around you and the strike comes down from the sky. Just to have some variation and make it more interesting, maybe even make it to where the Thunderstorm part is AoE. That would be really cool!

What is this Thunderstorm and where can I get it?

I would love an aoe thundercloud proc. I actually thought about that months ago. Maybe in 4.0

Yeah as Thunder 4. Available only under Enoch. Pffft. Got to love how each Thunder spell is pretty much slightly more Pot and one more tick of DoT damage. Thunder 3 should be a 5 yalm AoE DoT. But we wouldn't want our fellow Summoners to cry.

Because aoe packs will become nothing but T2 TC spam.

It'd have to be nerfed substantially for that to happen.

AoE packs are currently F2 Flare spam. Oh boy oh joy.

And honestly TC proc ham is a lot more fun IMO.

Yup. Always wanted a thunder based off GCD ground aoe like bard has. That could work. Could even add a boosted potency bonus if it's used during a thunder cloud proc

Maybe could be something to use as an alternative to the proc we already have.
I mean when you cast thunder and get an early proc, or you just use your proc and quickly get another... it's a dps loss to just use again and clip your existing dot, and I always die a little inside not using it as it feels like a waste.
So maybe we could instead use it for just a single oGCD (no dot), rather than re-applying thunder to something that still has like 15+ secs of thunder left. I'd suggest NOT making it an aoe, as obv aoe would only be useful if you have more than one target... and if that were the case you'd just use the normal proc on a second add.

also would add a bit of on the fly decision making
