Remove Malefic II [Ast]

[Exiled_Tonberry]

"Set in stone"



You were saying?

The point is, it's better to say it now then when the game's already out and they're busy with something else entirely.

Also, those were all minor changes. Balance changes, TP adjustments, potency adjustments, casting time adjustments. We never had anything as big as removing spells and merging them into one. For all we know it could be something that isn't worth doing mid expansion and we'd have wait until 5.0, just because we decided to wait until the expansion actually released instead of having the idea in their heads while Stormblood development was still a fresh topic.

If they already stated they are reducing button bloat, and we have a general idea (ie. Thunder II and III being merged into Thunder I), we can safely assume most classes are being treated the same way due to the nature of how these spells work (ie. Stone II being literally useless at Lv60 regardless of the situation, while Stone I gives heavy (useful in PvP) and Stone III is highest potency thus most damaging. The main point I'm trying to make is SE must know what they are doing if they know skill bloat is a thing.

Making suggestions that are already common sense is not making suggestions, it's just bloating the forums. We already know that AST should have Malefic I and Malefic II combined, just like how WHM should have Stone I-III combined and scale with level, just like how BLM should have Thunder I-III combined and scale with level. SE clearly know what they're doing if they know skill bloat is an issue that's brought up, it's been brought up since 3.0 days, and that was nearly 2 years ago.
