I'm liking the new JA we're given. Hell, blu's lacked JA's for a while, lol.

***Efflux (BLU Lv.83 Ability Delay: 3 min. Effect Duration: 1 min.)
If the next spell you cast is a "physical" blue magic spell, a TP bonus will be granted.***

Seems like a nice combo to put with Chain Affinity SOLO SC's as TP is always used up on WS. Obviously can be used alone too though, for say Cannonball situations when you're always out of range.

Also, any speculation on what spells we might be getting? :o This is the main part of the update I am looking forward too^^

Not to mention....

5 MORE BLUE POINTS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

I am happy enough^^

Aw I hate that move ; ;

I want Frenetic rip/Disseverment +1 (that hopefully also gives points towards acc bonus job trait >_> but I guess I am too optimistic!)

would be amusing if we got an insanely powered Goblin Rush....

It's kinda weird, 'cause tp doesn't effect a spell unless you're using Chain Affinity. But surely they're not going to add a JA that ONLY does something if you stack it with another JA? So I'm assuming it's basically a second CA as far as damage goes, possibly even better than CA, and the two together could be something pretty *** special... Let's see some of those ALCASAE cannonball damage screenshots :p

Isn't it just akin to recieving an fTP bonus for spells then?

I'm guessing the TP bonus would work in the same way CA is active, without the natural CA boost?

I guess my only real question is, if you use it without CA, does it take away your tp?

I wouldn't think so, I'd believe it'd just be a bonus to the spell. Only one way to find out though I guess.

I'm thinking like use Efflux then cast lets say Disseverment and get 50 TP added. Probably less of course.

Yes, because that won't be over powered at all. Let's blu/nin and do a blu utsu & /nin utsu cycle......

Also, Zephyr may not be utsu, but it sure does beat 'blink' <.<

srsly wth is this /sam thing? Sekkoniki is only really a play thing on blu, right?

Another question is how much of a TP bonus this will be. At first I was thinking this would step on the toes of people who merited Enchainment, but after doing some more thinking, it hit me that maybe this will give more incentive to put some merits into it, depending on how much the bonus is.

Unless the Store TP makes such a huge differance (Which I doubt) I don't think it's going to be worth the loss of dual wield and shadows in most situations. Yes, you can set dual wield, but thats more points down the drain and only tier1. I haven't personally tried or tested /sam though. While I remain skeptical.. I'll wait until I see/use it in action before I draw conclusions.

I mean hell, if I'm going to be DDIng and not /nin.. I like to /thf :/

Yes, I know Sekk is working with spells starting SC, I saw that thread a while back, but I'm wondering if this would actually improve our over-all damage in a constantly engaged scenario. About the only use for it I see is if you have TP built up already & do a 3step solo sc, which as I said, a play thing. I just don't see it being.. Constructive. Still fun though.
