| All right all you wanna-be Vivis and < insert your favorite FF black mage here >, your feedback has arrived! Quote: Get rid of the differences in strength of the various elemental magic spells so that specific elements aren’t the only types used. However, if we simply get rid of the stat differences and make all elemental spells equal, there will be concerns that the advantageous aspects of each element will be lost. Also there would be a need to completely change the levels in which these spells are learned. We are currently looking into adjustments that will enhance the merits of each element and their usage by establishing differences through enhancing damage and other elements via power, MP cost, status bonuses, etc. Quote: Lower the MP cost of tier V elemental magic spells. Quote: Increase the damage of ancient magic II spells. Quote: Add single target magic that has the same effect as ja-type spells. Quote: Do you have any plans of adding Death? Quote: Would like magic similar to the opening movie where multiple black mages are required to cast it. Quote: Make it so a percent of the damage dealt by elemental magic is converted into MP. Quote: Add an ability that increases the damage of the next spell cast. Quote: Let us use staff weapon skills that are only for certain jobs and support jobs. Quote: Weapons are only being used to enhance stats, so please revamp the damage aspect of weapons. Of course we are not rejecting black mage’s close range combat and weapon skills will be added, but we plan to focus adjustments on magic first and foremost. | |||

Siren.Kalilla said: » Ramuh.Austar said: » I was fine until I saw the last two questions. (i don't have it because i'm lazy) Lowering the cost of Teir Vs? Yes please.
I dont get the last question. We do have high damage staves available *cough*empyrean*cough*. or did they mean something else?
EDIT: If we are going to get better melee stats/weapons, screw staves. i want a freakin scythe

Perhaps something that is based off the users HP. Where it would inflict a percentage of that damage to mob (yielding enmity towards the blm) and also convert that damage to MP. Was thinking would be cool to have and Osmose ability that drained MP from a mob, costing 0 mp, but I am sure that wouldn't pass. And the Osmose ability would be able to work on mobs that don't have MP (excluding undead...obviously). Could have like a 10minute timer with a slight chance of failure so it's not too "strong." @Kalilla; Because they gave us Occult Accumen. >_> Like it's been totally useful to us! :D Jovant said: » Phoenix.Fredjan said: » they need tp for spirit taker kinda hard to spirit taker if your changing staffs constantly each cast... thats if your doing blm right ofcourse <.<; edit: FYI.. notice you cant spirit taker with a scythe... for those full time Maleficus blm's >.>; (had to kill the notion before some wise *** said something about it) F spirit taker. when i'm messing around i like scythes. much more bad ***. Where's the question about fixing how many goddamn staves we have to carry around?

Ha, I knew meteor/comet would be dark based. Time to work on those dark dmg staff or is the dark elemental magic being added a diff spell.

its all speculation & bs to me, probably gonna do close to nothing for improvement if they do any at all... here some bread crubs lil birdies... lol @ SE
FYI: DONT GET YA HOPES UP They usually release their updates in 3's, so I'm going to guess that WHM and... what else hasn't come out yet? THF? I'll say those two will be released soon with more pointless questions asked/answered :D
THF's up. Page 21 on the THF forum thread.

And then it becomes obsolte with 95 gear. Oh god I'd laugh. I do believe that all the best items shouldn't be through trials anyway. It would be nice to have NMs to drop good staves, even if the drop rate was ***or the NM was pretty difficult. I always wished TotM was more solo based, but not the only way to get the best gear.

But the answer was nothing similar. :< Seems like mostly non-answers from the developers.
"We understand everyone casts Blizzard and Thunder spells, and that you're interested in better balance between the other elemental spells. We also either don't care, or don't care to do the work that would be needed to make the other elements more useable." "We're also going to 'look into' a bunch of other 'possibilities' for increasing damage, as you all have suggested. We're also probably not going to do any of those things, because we like BLM just as it is, really. We just had to make this post because all the other jobs are getting a 'hey, we're listening' page, and people would 'cry foul' if BLM didn't have a page, too."

I'll say those two will be released soon with more pointless questions asked/answered :D I'm with Clippy with the staves though, especially since Magian staves took Ele staves and multiplied them. I could see them even doing what they did with Elementals in Aby and combining some. But needing at minimum eight weapons at all times is silly... Knowing SE, they'd probably give WAR Souleater or something like that.

SE has been overall rather good to the blm job. Why all the hostility?
