[Zombuh]

Aww come on, list the blu spells -.-

[Nudecke]

Really? Another NIN ICHI level spell? While still not giving Ni versions of the previous level given spells. And if they continue to give COR pet rolls, they need to give COR a JA that lets them single target like a BRD. Its kind of pointless to have pet rolls for a whole party if only 1 person had a pet. :/

I really like the idea of BLU having a JA that gives access to additional spells. However, are they referring to allowing them to have access to powerful HNM spells, and if so, do they still have to "learn" them since they have to use an ability to access it? Or do they mean giving access to spells that you don't set?

[Corrderio]

BST ones seem meh if they're trying to really make them a party based job.

[Derock]

Some sweet stuff in there, you all are a bunch of crabby patties.

[MrReinhardt]

i agree they put some nice additions in

[Nudecke]

Oh, I agree that they continue to add many useful things. WHM and RDM have become such great buffers and the trend continues with STR up and double attack spell. On that note, did you guys notice that Spontaneity and Manawell are castable on party members? At first, I thought it only meant the user but it says target, so its probably usable on pt members.

[Torak]

any clue as to what that blu mage spell is thats being cast on the wyvern & lizzies?
