You can check YG for most common magics after cap and some pretty unique sounding ones, but not all will go in obviously, some of them will be another "reraise" deal.

FFXI's AM was still pretty weak. For a spell that takes 30 seconds to cast, it really needs to be HUUUUUGE.


FFXIV... don't even get me started on that. At least Yoshida understands that this is something that needs to be changed.

Did you play BLM when SCH was released? It wasn't common practice on my server(Asura) to play BLM/SCH(at least, I never saw anyone do it) but I could crank out AM fast enough for it to be useful, thanks to the SCH cast reduction ability.

The best part of a Mage is the huge flashy attacks, these definitely need to get a graphical improvement!
Let's not forget that bad ass Black Mage armor that we saw concept art of about a month ago, thats definitely going to draw me into the mage jobs more.

BLM/SCH made sence get refresh sorta from sublimition. With new leve cap all mage jobs now sub /rdm because you can refresh yourself.

I use BLU/RDM not for refresh because i have a better refresh , but because i use the EN-spells on my swords extra damage. Also higher INT and MND for spells , also better sword skill

Yea all the spells effects on XIV are by far the worst compared to other FF games period. Each new FF the spells became a lot better compared to the previous and I don't know wtf made them say "Yea thats cool lets keep it!" Even the Tier 1 spells on XI look better than XIVs Tier 1 spells. Look how better FFXIs stoneskin is compared to this one. I'm really hoping they are just like placeholders or something.

edit: I have no desire to be a mage because of the lack of fierce destructive looking magic

I heard ancient magic is ancient that because its so useless that people haven't used it in thousands of years.

everytime I thinking about magic in FFXIV it alway make me want to quit the game
