Thread: 2.0: New Disciple of Magic or Spell Reform?

I too think blm have some issue, but every time i read one of your blockade on blm you look more and more conservative. Majority of people asked AoE toggle to be removed, and it's been done.
Bio no longer exist
elfeblees too, will be reintroduced somehow, but now don't exist
am doind 9999 ? Quite an overkill over here, neither ffxi' ancient never did so much...
blm need more variety, yes, but you're just asking old thm, which no more exist. find some other class to play until they put a mage class more suitable to you then

It was an example of old classic Final Fantasy not the online ones.

I would love to level a new caster job if there were more. I don't like any of the DoW classes.

Give BLM 3 elemental stances so they can change their main damage focus based on the situation.
Weak to Ice? Use "Ice Stance". Now the blizzard line deals higher damage and can combo while thunder and fire get crowd control properties and thunder loses the damage capabilities. "Fire Stance"> Fire spells are now single target with a different combo bonus, thunder and blizzard for crowd control. "Thunder Stance"> what we have now.

Actually i think you got a great idea
"astral stance": gain access to stone aero and water spells
"umbral stance": gain access to fire thunder and ice
That way they could give all elements to blm again without flooding action bar

That's a bit extreme. BLM is fine with only 3 elements but the issue here is not something that can be seen yet.
Right now there's no boss that outright resists thunder completely so the issue of Thunder being the main source of damage doesn't exist, yet. Now let's jump ahead and consider things like Ramuh... here comes the issue. In that case BLM is useless as it can't compare to anyone else with their damage and wouldn't be able to participate due to gameplay issue not community stacking certain jobs. Blizzard and Fire spells aren't good damaging spells compared to the Thunder line.
My idea is simply to allow BLM to pick their main element of choice depending on the situation and be able to perform just as well with all three elements when it comes to raw damage.

Do you guys seriously think that Sleepga and Blizzara are useless as CC because they break on damage? Haghahooaohoahohohohohoo

When the purpose of spell is to stop an enemy, and it doesn't because everyone just kills the monsters in a few seconds. How useful can that spell be? Instead of putting out damage you waste mp and time doing something that isn't important.

Perhaps your party is dead in your signature because you undervalue crowd control.

well doesnt help when every job has some form of aoe that they spam. War steel cyclone, leg sweep, that brd aoe not sure what it was called, not so much with aura pulse from mnks. making the sleepga very useless. and blizzara is only good for soloing. (and the exception of the BLM af body fight)
