Weapon skills for mages

[ErBear]

Hello, Rokien again, again. I would like to see pointless weapon skills for the mages. Who cares if they are pointless, sometimes I just wanna beat up on something with a stick. Just because it serves no real purpose other than being fun, why not add them back!?! Heck they could even make some silly combos.

Also my second point in making this thread, if you watched the talk deal, they really REALLY wanted to make summoner hit with that book of his. So why not add some special effect(ws) to that hitting.

Pointless or not, just bring em back!~

Yes, waste development resources to create pointless skills. That would be the definition of throwing money down the toilet.

You can say the same thing with pointless pets and pointless mounts.

Minions and mounts are not pointless, they are supposed to be targeted towar-- aaah why do I even bother trying to reason with Rokien anyway?

It's the same concept as Weapon Skills is it not? Why you against MORE weapon skills and for MORE vanity?

Imo, melee can combo weapons, mages should be able to combo spells.

E.g.

Cure I -> Cure II -> Cure III

Cure I can proc the free cure I and if you combo with cure II it gets increase potency and lower mp cost and if you combo that with cure III it gets reduced mana cost and increased range.

or

Fire I -> Fire II -> Fire III

When used after Fire I fire II becomes a single target spell with increased potency from Fire I and FireStarter Procs in the middle of that make the combo on Fire III cost nothing (as firestarter does) but incrase potency by 150% for comboing.

Won't see pointless ones. Likely will see WS+magic in the form of Red Mage, Blue Mage, Mystic Knight, etc.

It doesn't have to be pointless lol I was just saying I would like to see more variety.

Well, Apoctastasis already exists, so why not?

It's inevitable that we see a melee+magic job. Hell, I think there's a decent chance we'll see GLA turn into one due to the massive number of slots which will need to be replaced anyway. GLA->BLU, anyone?
