Absolutely not!

That would ruin the feel!

It just occurred to me: if we all had a linkshell, would that mean we would start posting less in the thread? We have to be careful that we continue working towards 10k pages while talking about 10k pages in our 10k pages linkshell.

Okay, I was pretty much set on taking RDM to 80 ASAP come the update.

Buuuuut... now I think I'll do DNC. FABULOUS UPDATE IS FABULOUS.

Yeah, at first thought I was thinking this is a pretty lousy update for BLM. I notice that they were giving them Occult Acumen at 45 too. Why the hell would BLM want to get TP for their spells?

But perhaps it'll nudge us into a different approach. Depending on just how much TP that trait will bestow, I don't see why it would be OMGWTFUDOIN to get out your Jupiter's Staff, spam low tier spells, get TP, run up and use Vidohunir (which isn't based on the DMG of the weapon equipped; it's literally a TP nuke), and then let rip with a massive spell to take advantage of the magic defense down. (I mean, this trait should theoretically encourage DRKs to use more of their spells too, which is pretty much the crux of many people's arguments about forgetting about spells because "OMG IT SLOWS DOWN MY PARSE!!!!!!")

I wonder if this'll encourage BLMs to think a little outside the box. /shrug

Mana Wall, seeing conventional use, might seem useless at first... Hmm.


EDIT: Y'know what, never mind. I guess they don't get Occult Acumen. (That "tabular" format isn't very clear...) Scratch BLM from the above and replace it with SCH.

Serves me right for being a little too optimistic. :/

Yea, the way its set out isn't great, instead we get Magic Burst Trait Smiley: disappointed

I only glanced through the list, but I noticed at least a couple things which pointed towards SE trying to revive SC-MB. If that ever happens I'll be very suprised.

Mana wall looks... interesting but at this point I'm sceptical. I suppose its another form of protection to increase survivability, but at the cost of MP Smiley: bah... I guess it depends on how much MP is taken versus damage absorbed, but if its 1:1 or similar then anywhere it would be used in events will just completely wipe MP in a couple of hits.

Is survivability even that much of an issue for BLMs that we need an ability specifically to combat it? Personally I don't think so.

One positive thing I can think would be on medium strength mobs, if spells are not interupted when MP absorbs damage, then will make Blink/SS tanking a little easier.

I kind of like the idea of Mana wall.

It's not something you'll want to pull hate with and tank but at least now you can survive some of the nastier AoEs that some NMs will dish out. Then you can run out of range do a convert and heal your self.

Yeah DNC did come out as the big winner of the update.

Also I'm really surprised at all the lower level additions.

It's probably a nudge towards subbing SCH. SCH, of course, gets no inherent protective spells, so perhaps that may allow us to sub SCH more frequently, but that still remains doubtful from a soloing perspective. Regardless, having access to Convert as well as everything else we get from /RDM means we have even less incentive to use /SCH...

I guess we'll see, but it does seem rather awful we have to put what makes BLM tick on the line to protect ourselves. Better than nothing, maybe? I dunno... could compare it to "TP Wall" for SAM? lol
