Because it is a wasted effort of SE to put in spells we will never use or need.

just like it was a wasted effort to pull out the spells that were used all the time? to remove stuff needed is just as bad as adding things not needed. both methods wasted development time that could have been used on more pressing matters.

Stop posting your opinion.

Wasted effort? SE should add more depth to this shallow battle that consists of dancing around your target or in mages case, casting the same damn spells. They should add more spells and place an importance on their usage.

How does adding a ton of pointless spells add more depth? And yes, majority of them would either be useless or redundant.

Read my post again. The answer lies within.

Why the hell do you people settle for less? Change is definitely needed, but removing things instead of improving them is detrimental. The spells being useless is not a favorable argument.

especially not when the argument was wrong. you can't name more than 5 spells out of each of the mage classes that were not used unless you want to count each ancient magic as one. they needed major work so nobody used them.

people are willing to take downgrades and i am not sure exactly why people think the game gets better with getting less.

Because there are multiple viewpoints when it comes to personal preference. It's a lot like pizza - one person like mushrooms and not olives, the other person is opposite. Regardless, pizza is still nice to eat. Peeps need to calm their sack about this kind of stuff. It's like every single person turns each idea into the holy crusades...

no i am responding to a person saying that most of the spells were worthless. i am just curious which ones were worthless?

saying you didn't like using them is comparable to the mushroom thing, but saying they are worthless is like saying you can't eat pizza and get full. pizza may not be your favorite choice of food if it has mushrooms, but it will still do what it is required to do. banish/scourge/bio/dia/shadowsear/siphon mp may not have been your favorite spells to use, but they did have their uses.

saying you didn't like them is an opinion, but saying they were worthless is a lie.

That same attitude is shared by some of us that think the holiday events they are adding to the game right now are a waste of resources at a time when they should be focusing on fixing the damn game. Truth is, in a game thats major flaw was lack of content, I don't think adding more of anything would be a bad idea at this point. Certainly I would like to see more for mages given that now their physical attack in battle is garbage. If they want to make it so mages dont even have to pull their weapons out during battle, i would love to see them have more options spell wise.
