Blue Mage: Best thread ever

[tennotsukai87]

I wonder if new spells will be October or November.

[Hitou]

I haven't seen anything about the new spells in forever so, despite them saying they would be out in "2 updates from now" or w/e it was, I wouldn't get my hopes up for them showing up in either update. That said, the October update has a vague "job adjustments" mentioned along with the macc adjustment so it's possible it will be in October.

[Prothescar]

they recently stated that blu spells will be coming in the Fall update

[Fireon]

I hope you realize that October and November both occur within Fall, so saying "Fall update" doesn't really answer the question...

[Ophannus]

Not to mention the 'Fall Update' was originally not split. They only revealed a split update like last week. They've been splitting updates very often these past few months.

[Hitou]

I think he was referring to my post rather than answering which month it would occur in. I either over looked the post saying it new spells are coming in the fall, or I forgot about it already. Thinking on it, I seem to recall reading that somewhere, so I guess it's the latter.

Anyway, best guess is October update still since the November update doesn't mention job adjustments at all.

[Draylo]

Yeah that would be my guess also. That is also when they are doing the blue magic adjustments isn't it?

And hopefully Tourbillion/Barbed Crescent....*sigh*

[Fwahm]

It probably doesn't mean anything, but SE actually put a report of the Tourbillon etc issue under "accepted bugs" on the English forum. I've only ever seen them put it under duplicate reports (while not actually having one under accepted) or not a bug.

Of course, since it's the English forum, it doesn't really matter, but meh.

Yeah, so I noticed, but I vaguely remember them acknowledging another blu who reported the same bug years ago, prothescar I think, which they forgot about.

Must've been that recent post about it that *really* spelled it out for them. Something about being told to "submit the proper form" and a guy linked 8 different times that's been done, each link under a word in the phrase "Why do you hate blue mage so much?"

[Foldypaws]

What's the best Requiscat set currently?

[gaira]

not perfect, but atm i use:

whirlpool/gorget/brutal/4mnd delve ear
manibozho/buremte/aquasoul/epona's
atheling/ele belt/manibozho/thaumas

hagondes has more mnd in some slots, but don't want to lose attack from manibozho pieces. considering bee back piece, but would be giving up dbl atk from atheling.

Matsui here.

I believe the development team already stated that adding abilities is impossible because recast timer slots for all jobs have been used up.
That’s correct that previously we were in a situation where it was difficult to add new abilities as we had reached the limit for recast timer slots. However, while it differs from job to job, we’ve succeeded in increasing the amount of slots and it is now possible to add abilities. We will be making a careful decision as to whether or not we use up this limited space to add abilities taking battle balance into consideration.

With the current growth system, will more abilities and magic be added?
Magic-wise we will be adding new blue magic spells during the November version update. Additionally, though I cannot promise you a specific time frame and this is something we are planning for the future, instead of simply adding higher-tier versions of existing magic spells since our magic slots are limited, we’d like to introduce different kinds of magic to enable new play styles.


Boom November!

[Draylo]

Boo Guess it makes sense if they are opening new areas in NOV. Probably a new mob type.

[Sechs]

Asking for a friend since I was unable to answer him myself.
R15 Mani body vs Good augment Hago body?

I assume Mani?
Doubt Mab has a huge influence on Requiescat (if at all?) whereas Attack should help, if you're not capped.

[Damane]

so they are uping blu physical magic potency up again on monday! lets hope they get it right this time around!

[dasva]

Wait like specifically and not part of the ilvl weapon thing?

we got the ilvl boost allready last time no? they mentioned it specifically

Matsui:
The version update is coming on Tuesday, October 8 [[Monday, October 7 NA time]]. We will be implementing the Mog Case and other conveniences to make adventurers' lives easier such as the delivery function in the Mog House. We will also be making job adjustments to enhance called familiars as well as increase the attack power of physical blue magic.

has nothign to do with ilvl as far as I understand it

[dasva]

Oh I read potency as macc for some reason disregard. Good they needed it. Some jobs gaining like 150 base dmg while blu spells got like what 20? Yeah that is keeping up with other physical DDs lol
