Black mages. . . .

[FF4ever]

didnt u guys notice that some spell chain combos turn aoe into single cast, as far as spells go there is plenty. BLM has all kinds of element spells. but as far as THM goes it can heal and buff so its good for back up and can hit hard also with the spells it has, animation lock? dont you guys know how a wizards works? in role play when a mage casts a spell they enter a meditated state of of trance, thats not animation lock that is the caster prepairing to cast., if u want to stop the spell mid cast
go to CONFIG>SYSTEM and chose ACTION RESELECTION CANCEL. if u use a JA and are caught in a crack ur just sol

water will come soon for sure. mayhaps a higher lvl, take it easy

Well, pretty positive thinking but pretty much missing the point entirely. First of all, we are talking about THM, not CNJ. stone-stonra / aero - aeroa you can turn them from aoe to single target, wooptedoo. but, nothing turns thunder/thundara/tundaga from single to aoe, nothing turns fire/fira/firega from aoe to single, blizzard is always single, blizzard doesnt combo to blizzara, blizzara is always multi and is just stupidly implemented, thm/blm cannot even use stonera or aeroa, blm cannot even use stone/aero and neither of them can become multi. Blm doesnt have all kinds of elemental spells, it has 3. And all the spells you learn through job quests need to be redone. As someone said, they are just cheap debuffs and do not deserve the name of legendary black magic - and burst is an outright waste of MP.

And by animation lock I was talking about melee characters. Seen in the gameplay footage for AAR at gamecon, Weaponskill animation lock aka inability to move during a weaponskill is greatly reduced in time.

nothing is good in this current magic system. Current fights are all tunder-thundara-thunder-thundara-thunder-thundara-thunder-thundara- Freeze when you get low and need to rest MP. Thats utterly whack. BLM should be able have a larger variety of single target spells they can throw at an enemy, not thunder all day long for single, fire all day long for aoe.
