I am writing this because on my commute to work I was thinking about how much fun blm was in FFXI. Having access to such a wide arsenal of spells, being the burst kings/queens of all dark magic.

Something I feel BLM is missing are those classic -JA. And -AGA. Spells.

Fire/thunder/blizzard-ja

Fire/thunder/blizzard-aga

While I think it's nice they allowed us to have access to aoe spells. Fire 2 and blizzard 2 just don't feel like they fit that role properly. And to be honest, other then pvp use. Who casts blizzard 2 anymore.


Here is my idea; or a couple ideas. Create temporary *stances* that either are player bound AOE, or target bound AOE. Transforming some of our iconic spells into not so overpowered AOE spells.
