Thorn vine whip attack

unlike the sch, the smn is not accompanied by any pets

It looks like a lightning skill so I'd bet on it being ramuh based and the shot doesn't have the pet because it's done in that weird interim period where the summon is disappearing and carbuncle is reappearing on purpose to hide ramuh.

maybe ramuh, shiva, leviathan after phoenix? but also fester and painflare have lightning in them already so it could just be an upgrade for one of those.

Fester and Painflare both display the blue Ability whirl. The action in the benchmark does not.

BLM
Thunder V?

Leading up to EW, Yoshi-P dodged the pressure of being the one to choose the JP tier V spell suffix for all of Final Fantasy for the rest of all time by just calling Fire V and Blizzard V the FF-coded equivalents of High Fire II and High Blizzard II. If this spell isn't Burst it'll probably just be High Thunder II or III, though it could be something not called Thunder at all a la Despair.

Pretty much spot on regarding the Thunder name.

There is a good chance this is actually "Burst". Burst is the thunder-type spell equivalent of Flare, Freeze, Tornado, Quake, Flood, Holy and Doomsday (names taken from various FF and Bravely titles). Already exists in PvP, with a slightly different animation.

Of course chance it could just be "High Thunder IV" (implying there is also a High Thunder III) but I hope for better. Would be nice if BLM finally had the thunder equivalent to Flare and Freeze.

well it could be reworked also and not even function the same.

"Burst" is the FFXI name of the lightning elemental ancient magic, like "Flare" is for fire and "Freeze" for ice.

it's the good time for me to drop this game
