Thread: New BLM spells in 5.0 Speculation

Outside of Lore, I'm assuming they thought as in the western translations of some of the older games had numeric magic upgrades, the west would prefer it, but as the same time we've had more games with suffixes than numbers so its not like its a common trend

if that was the case then they should guve us a option 2 have either numbers or the names like fira
also higher cureage is Cureja so that is stupid if they put that in a book lol

I also wish Thunder and Foul were oGCD abilities. Even if they had CDs to make them not OP. I feel like I'm loosing out on Fire 4 casts to do Thunder procs and Foul procs.

If you're using a proper BLM rotation, you should not be losing a Fire 4 cast for either of those procs.
