Wow, I love how heated some of these battles get in public chat forums cuz everyone wants to prove their right!!! Especially taking to time to cut and paste different sections of different comments. That's hard corp. Even if I wanted to post an arguement to what you just said, I'd be affraid you would take a lot of needless time out of your day to prove me wrong!!! I sorta like your idea Rambus. I think that would solve a lot of issues. BUT, every blm in the world has only unlocked Burst and Freeze 2 for the sake that they are the strongest two, regardless. And most likely went 5/5 on each. Unless you're a "do massive damage on Kirin nut and did 5/5 on Tornado II. So For now, Tier V nukes give you a chance to exploit other weaknesses for once. I certainly wouldn't mind casting Stone on a mob that's weak to earth and having it do a bit more damage than a Thunder bases spell, again, on a mob weak to EARTH!!! When we start to get Thunder V and Blizzard V, and they do a more damage than Burst and Freeze... Then I guess so be it. One of the quirks to getting 75 was to be able to unlock those tier 2 AMs that do massive damage. Well, now a quirk to getting 99 (cuz you know thunder v is 99) is getting an ultra powerful tier V spell that beats out that tier 2 you worked so hard to get 75 and merit for. 99 is a loooong ways away exp wise. And in order to beat mobs of that lvl, were going to need spells that do more damage than a fully merited lvl 75 spell. That's just my take.
I also agree with you too Paul. Perle Hauberk, Aurore Doublet, Teal saio. Although still not as good as bits and pieces of gear you can get endgame or HNM wise. These 3 sets really are fantasic. And with a lot of the new accessories out there, they are even better, combine that with magian trials, which, in hindsite, can beat out relic weapons. Anyone in the game can get Endgame Quality gear for less than 200k. Thats how much a full set of Perle cost me the other day on the AH. All that hard work everyone did, camping HNMz, Hours spent in Limbus/Dynamis/Salvage. Waiting for this High end gear to drop, all rivaled for a mere 200k out of your pocket? SE is getting ready to lose most of it's fan base within the next year. They want are getting ready for it, and making gear easily accessable to do that exp grind in to them is a neccessity, IMO. The bar has risen, and there expecting there to be a lot less ppl to climb that ladder than in the glory days of lagging out cuz of an over populated exit to Aht Urghan WG's mog house.
all AM II are all the same power, the increased merits make them have more MB damage and accurecy.
freeze II does more due to int on staff witch is getting faded out from trials. burst II is the same as the rest, only reason people did that was because of potency merits.
the only thing my idea changes is that you still keep that bonus though all lines of spells of that element ( i do not see how this would be overpowered) while having all the am II.
having all the am II this point is verutally useless just like the merits them selves, they need to be changed.
well maybe not complete atm but as soon you get new level cap increase they will be.
example, flood II is 1 min 30 sec recast with 287 mp w/e you are better off just using water V same with quake and stone V, pretty soon the rest will fall.
the other am II are pretty useless on stuff you can use water and stone V on anyway.
what idiot is doing is called a strawman, i am not dealing with him. i will say this I siad jsut make them NORMAL spells, i/e learned from scrolls, you don't insently get them at 75.
and i am going to say this again I DO NOT CARE THAT YOU ARE BUTTHURT about XXXabj useless now, WHAT I AM CONCERND ABOUT IS that black mage has nothing useful in cat 2 merits. NO JOB suffers from that. Do you know how easy it is for a SCH to outdamage AM II as well? BLM is a pethic job as is. AT lest my idea can allow them to have some extra acc and damage on spells when they mb, the intent of AM II anyway. SCH does get a trait called magic burst bonus, so does blm, the question is does this factor in MB cap if there is one that you see doing a buch of scs after eachother? thats a different topic though.
mobs that i can think off that you cannot use stone or water V:
kirin
bombs
MAYBE oruyu , you need to go play with that one to see if water spell is ok, if ice is ok something earth is neutral too i don't see the problem with water V from a 80 blm.
at this point you might as well call AM II useless
I do not remember oneshoting a pod on BLM with freeze II:
lolworthy gear btw and no buffs past self sandstorm witch i think triggered, not 100% on that however
as far as new gear, i can understand how perie can be good but for war you have bayakkos pants and such i do not see it as OMG but making a bridge of the have and have nots, the new stuff blm can wair all i see is pants being good when you do not have morr and not maching day with relic pants, the body is like a genie wiskt and head does nothing for me. for sch however it is really nice and if i used that stuff on my sch it would jsut reinforce my point that blm is useless next to it. Having useless cat 2 merits does not help that
