Fusion Magic And Other Ideas 4 Scholar By Hideka

These Ideas were pretty good! I just wanted to post it on FFXIAH to see what others think.

(THIS INFORMATION WAS NOT FROM ME. THIS INFORMATION WAS SIMPLY COPIED AND PASTED. IDEAS POSTED BY HIDEKA ON SQUARE ENIX FORUM.)

so i find it annyoing that pretty much every thing boss wise in abyssea is IMMUNE to modus veritas, or it misses 50% of the time. so heres a list of suggesstions for sch additions and adjustments.

Modus Veritas: Reducing timer to 60 seconds, to make it more usefull versuses smaller monsters who die quicker.

Reasoning: at the current point and time we cant utilize this ability veruses the current bosses of the game, and we cannot utilize it effectively against smaller monsters due to its 20 minute recast timer.

Sublimation: Changing sublimation gear mechanics to allow then enhanced effect to be applied when the job ability is activated, and last the duration of the charge even when un-equipped.

Reasoning: while the recent tweaks to sublimation are Awesome, all of the nifty sublimation gear that is out now, has little to no efffect to the charging time due to the fact that you cant utilize the enhanced ammount more then 20% of the time in a combat situation, AND you have to set an idle macro (for those of you who dont use scripts), its a mega hassle.

Dark arts: adds natural magic attack. increasing by 1MAB every five levels from level 10, resulting in +16 Magic attack bonus.

Reasoning: without any form of natural MAB it is IMPOSSIBLE for sch to currently hold a candle to a blm. they trump us in both casting power AND speed now, putting us into the old rdm position of "Meh caster" where a BLM will ALWAYS be prefered over a SCH. even with 16 additional MAB, it will be IMPOSSIBLE for us to even compete with blm for sheer damage out put. the only thing we still trump BLM in is MP efficiency, which pales in comparison to a BLM/RDM who has pretty much -50% casting speed and +36MAB at all times. where as we have to use a job ability to reach those ammounts, severely limiting us. oh and not to mention, ONE Piece of our AF3 has mab. ONE. hell we dont even get access to the good MAB !@#$%&.. I.E: Eradico mitts, BARD can wear them SMN can wear them, but not sch. W T F

Light arts: Innate +10% cure potency
reason: SCH has a severe lack of Cure potency gear. this will also serve as a buff to RDMs who /sch.

Magic:

Cure 5.
Tier 2 Storm spells
Tier 2 Helicies

Buffing Addoloquim to 2-3 TP per tic(enhanced by gear if anything)

Fusion Magic: magic that has two elements for SC purposes, that carry additional effects.

Aduro Illustrio: Fusion elemental magic. Fire & light. Additional Effect: increases damage done by Ice and darkness for 30 seconds.

Glacialis Fons: Distortion elemental magic. Ice and water. Additional effect: Increases damage done by Wind and Fire for 30 seconds.

Ventus Reboare: Fragmentation Elemental magic. Thunder and wind. Additional effect: Increases damage done by earth and water for 30 seconds.

Terra Pullus: Gravitation elemental magic. earth and darkness. additional effect increases damage done by light and thunder for 30 seconds.

Omnino Creperum: Darkness elemental magic. Earth Darkness Ice water Elements. additional effect: increases damage dealt by all light alligned elements for 60 seconds.

Funditus Elucido: Light elemental Magic. Wind Fire Thunder Light elements. Additional effect: increases damage dealt by all darkness aligned elements for 60 seconds.

those sound good :Q what id like to see is a TP bonus for Immanence and access to Tier 3 SC's with spells or have each SC tier associated with each tier of ele nukes. (like Light SC elements would be at V's and such) ...those storm II and Helix II spells would be an EPIC inclusion...but how would Stormsurge be affected if the made II's...+16 stats would rock...but SE would dismiss it for "balance issues"....

anyway, your ideas rock :D did you submit those to SE?

lol edit: Another idea would be something like "Dual Cast" that RDM had in Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. (The ability where you could cast two magics in the same turn)...it might be a little bit unstable to do...but itd definately even us out with BLM's....if giving us our own SSC -> super MB didnt already do that for us.

Very cool ideas. I get why SE nerfed MV, however i think its stupid they way they nerfed it. Instead of making it a complately garbage ja, they could have made it so the effect didnt stack. Problem solved and SCHs still fairly happy. As far as updates go id like to see more SCH specific spells, t2 helix would be a dream, along w/ maybe a SCH specific enfeeble, some reason to justify having letting us play the job more often

lol....the idea of regain as a spell and SCH bieng able to use it...ohyus i loved it.....1TP/tic......i wanted to buy premium airfare to Japan march over to Square Enix home office and fine the idiot that suggeted to make it 1/tic and then kill him. If they did make a SCH only enfeeble they better make it something like Addle...which is secksy as FAWK!

I read somewhere on BG that SCH has a unique enfeeb as well as a nuke in the dats yet to be released. Everyone's already saying "omg comet" for the nuke, but I guarantee the enfeeb will be something lame like "magic evasion down" -.-

Coincidentally, I believe WHM will be getting Addle at some point, but not SCH. /facepalm

itll be like break...sch is the last one to gettit...and RDM will still do it better

Pretty sure I read SCH won't get it at all. Things can still change though, so we can only hope. :(

im only hoping SCH gets all V's.....if they dont get Addle...ill be ok :D we dont get Blizzard V or Thunder V.....heads will FUKKING ROLL >:(

If they continue the pattern, we will. They're not always consistent with keeping patterns though.

79 Stone V
+4
83 Water V
+4
87 Aero V
+4
91 Fire V
+4
95 Blizzard V
+4
99 Thunder V

and if they do storm II's and -helix II's they could retrograde... storms starting from 80~89 and -helixes starting from 90~99...but..thats asking too much :/

but,,...if they continue with that....then we wont get Comet D: or Meteor D: Or Ultima D:

SCHs problem isn't that it is underpowered, but that it can only proc 1/2 of the stuff BLM can.

Properly geared, the only nuking advantage (and it is a substantial one) is that BLM have Beyond atma and Blizzard 5. Yet despite this, SCHs can still out nuke a BLM on windsday with the proper setup inside abyssea. Outside, BLMs have ZERO shot at keeping up.

Cure potency is also irrelevant, You can easily get over 35% in gear and make up the other 15% with aurastorm, obi and T.cape. SCH needs Cure V to fix it.

aren't weather effects counted separate from the 50% cap?

how is that a facepalm? sch only gets half the available enfeeble spells nativly. Sounds like they're following the established trend if this doesn't happen.

As far as I know, yes.
