Not going to lie even a little bit, I am UNBELIEVABLY MOIST.

Mother *** Orcish Counterstance... Bloodrake... T~T omg

FOUR HIT THAT CRITS

NEW BREATH.

OMG CAROLS

This is possibly the best update BLU has ever and will ever get. Every one of these spells looks *** incredible

edit: so this is on the test server right now. going to play with these spells IMMEDIATELY.

edit2: or not :C update is later today /sadpanda

What.... counter..... fail

Counterstance on a 60 second duration 2 minute recast here it comes!

As long as the set point cost is fair it doesn't matter, it's incredibly cheap to cast. It is kind of a slower cast though (4 seconds).

So...a toad huh? ...thoughts on its job?

So my last ability as a cor will be...counter. COUNTER?!?
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU. I don't think my tanks will give a damn about it.

They already said that the actual updates will come after lvl.99 they just want to get that out of the way first.

Was said to be a novelty pet only. He won't have any abilities or anything. The jettatura is bound to be rape. (INB4 THEY MAKE IT A BRD INSTEAD OF A THF LOL)

Well, I GET TO SUMMON A TOAD! HELL YES!

Seriously, 4-hit spell that crits. Is this real life T~T

Do you have a 4-hit crit ability in real life?

Added a little bit of formatting, not Kalilla style but it's kind of readable.

Hmm. "Lures an enemy into an eternal nightmare." ... X-Zone. Yea.

Just remember, if you post on the official forums be careful what you post, otherwise a gimp will come.

Wait a minute, "Resists physical damage"


<______________________________________________________<

Mmmm. Divine emblem+Holy II, Ahahah, that's gonna be fun.

no Meteor on Test-Server yet SE?
i am sad...

Guess it's gonna be a merit.

Question: Is BLU separate from the magic cap. They said before (in a WHM thread) they were getting close to filling up the magic they can have which is why they need to be careful what spells they give. Yet every update they get 6+ spells so are they outside of it?

Wtf happen to charm-na? Charm is pretty broken the few times we get it. As it is in dyna, unless you got the rare and few charm resistant items let alone few JA that prevent it, charmga is 100% and can last 3 to 5 minutes. It sounds like they forgot about giving us it, not to mention no word on cait sith or atamos.

Stun charmga.

That aside, this is unlikely to be the final things ever added to every job ever. In fact it's likely that we'll get more sooner rather than later, or possibly even in this patch (doubtful but eh). It might come with the new weaponskill set.

I wish I could tolerate leveling BST...

I want to summon a turtle ; ; His name would be Genbu :(

Very excited about the BLU spells, although I'm surprised they didn't stick with a iconic spell in Aqua Breath and instead chose Vapor spray for a water breath based attack...

I still hope.. PLD will get Shell V and RDM will get Cure V.

I hope that DRK will get something besides a spell released in 2003.


nup.

If you guys learned anything from last update, please make sure to say that all the BLU spells suck so they aren't nerfed... Seriously :I

Lol, if you named it Genbu, then a RDM mob would come over and solo it.
