Wow, I'm ecstatic! They finally added a feature that should have been in place from the start! :D That being said, it will be very nice to have.

There's been so many times when I've shouted for retrace.. because i was too lazy to switch to blm, retrace, back to blu & set spells again, lol. But now it wont be so bad xD

One of the best blu updates I've seen so far.. I'm not so sure on this battery charge change though..

Battery Charge update kinda sucks. It sounds like you will get less MP over time than just having a RDM refresh you. I really didn't mind it as it was, although it felt like I had to recast it pretty often. Should have just increased the duration and done without the refresh effect nerf. :3 It's not like BLU is out-dding any good two-hander these days or something. ):

If you have a rdm.. can start bitching for refresh2 now, just like the good old days.

I can see it now. Refresh, can i have it? *Ignored* /uses battery charge.. /has battery charge over-written. FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU wasted mp

Oh, yeah. I forgot about refresh 2. >: I don't really see a good reason for them to gimp the refresh potency. ; -;

Some of the best news I've seen so far! This has always been one of my biggest issues, especially if you accidentally go into main job and don't realize it.. after spending 10 minutes deciding what set to go with.

I also thought that this is why we could merit assimilation, and to get more points.... but its like the auction house, we have those extra slots there for more spells, I mean how much more do we have like 30 spots for spells????

edit: If I can get a screenie later on after update( or before I'll post what I mean).




here ya go.... proof...



Now unless it changes with assimilation, then IDK.

I don't think anyone gives two shits about spell slots, not unless they're equipping ***like foot kick, power attack and poison breath...

I really can't see why we wouldn't get another 5 points though.

RDM refresh cast upon you, and Battery Charge both end up restoring 150MP to you. Battery Charge restores 200, but because of the high MP cost, it restores the same. If they make this restore more, it WILL be better than RDM Refresh. The only preference I have to battery charge is convenience, while soloing especially.

No, the last update when BLU got so many spells was to prevent /RDM offering more benefits than BLU main, making it a virtually obsolete job. Convert obviously, aswell as higher MP, and more spell slots from not needing to set refresh and haste. So there is a benefit, but I think they fixed it up so that BLU had something better than what they could get from their subjob. I'd still say /SCH for BLU, but I guess we can use that long loved saying "***'s situational"

That's not actually true... If they extend duration to 5 minutes, keeping it at 50mp cost, but lower it to 3mp/tic ratio, that's a total MP recovery of 300MP-50MP cast cost = 250MP total recovery in 5 minutes. As it is now, sure you have to re-apply it every 2.5 minutes instead of every 5, but it's currently at 300MP total recovery in 5 minutes.
