Black Mage Sanctuary - A Guide to DPS

[Alkimi]

Don't worry, you missed the 20% Fire 2 nerf and the 7% Fire IV nerf (potencies). We also lose Raging Strikes. Foul looks interesting and nice as well as Umbral Hearts, but it doesn't make up for what we've lost.

I'm not really that concerned about Fire 2. I can't see it being used that often now that you can multi-cast Flare with the new Umbral Hearts mechanic. Maybe they considered it too strong at lower levels (which it kinda is).

My main concern is their max MP which seems an awkward amount.

As it stands (please correct me if I'm wrong) to get 6 Fire 4s every cycle you have to wait for a mana tick, and for Fowl you have to either sacrifice a F4 for it or only use it during Umbral Ice phase. Making all spells free to cast under Umbral Ice would alleviate the server side mana tick problem but I dunno if they would go that far.
