Easy Black Mage improvements!!!

[Phoenicia]

5. I would also like to see some modification of our other talents/spells. We rarely utilize or have need for most of our other spells.

"You" rarely utilize those spells, they're not useless.

I will agree with you that Freeze was a bad joke by SE and Sleep is useless. Surecast... Has its uses if you know big AoE damage that would interrupt you is incoming I guess?

But Aetherial Manipulation? That's the best thing since sliced bread! It helps you "move" while minimizing movement so you can continue casting.

Manawall/Ward are the second best thing since sliced bread! (After Aetherial Manipulation of course!) They prevent enough damage on many mechanics so that they don't kill you outright.

PLD cannot survive the fourth tank buster in A1S without Apocastasis because it would be down to Rampart. And ANY tank buster that the PLD/WAR receive Apoc on they will love you for it. Alexander Savage is full on magic damage tank killers and Apocastasis helps a LOT in filling the gaps on the tanks' (specially PLD) CDs.

SMN didn't get a repurpose on any of its abilities/spells, they got a rename. That's whole different thing. Tri-disaster (new) is a whole new ability, not the same old spell (renamed Tri-Bind) that bound 8 targets. The old spell is still as useless as it has always been.

Also, One-Ilm Punch and Haymaker said hi.
