New Spell Animations

5 more points soon to be gobbled up, need more assimilation merits; only thing to wonder is what traits they make and how many points they cost, easy for it to break current sets

Meh we already have BA for nukes, some form of enhancing buff would be nice similar to composure.

They did announce adjustments to job specific merit categories, so maybe they're upping the cap on those.

there's also convergence for nukes and diffusion for enhancements, something like composure would be nice.

forgot all about Diffusion, haven't used it since the cap was lifted.

no new healing spell for blu?

Class already has more healing tools than RDM/SCH?

While White Wind would be nice as an AOE cure, in terms of single targets BLU leads the pack.

Whow, how did I miss this thread?

New spells excitement!

Why not just ask for convert natively as well and have everything that a RDM has without the negatives.

Seriously, BLU needs unique JA's not all of RDM's stuff.

More curious as to what Harden Shell will do since it's normally just a DEF buff.

Cocoon already serves that purpose so... what? It's an HNM spell so I wouldn't be surprised if SE changes the effects to be something a 'lil better than a DEF buff.

Phalanx? longer duration Cocoon? ;3

So they're adding White Wind this update according to the japanese section.

White Wind is scheduled to be added in the next upgrade.

Along with upgrades to BLU's traits from

Fast Cast / Store TP / HP Up / MP up / Auto-Regen / Counter / Dual Wield

With Double Attack becoming Triple Attack and Gil Finder becoming Treasure Hunter

I saw this posted on BG during one of the prep updates that came before the December update that introduced Adloquium. The only reason I give it any credibility is because it stated the exact level and effect of adloquium before anyone knew what the spell was called or did, they just call it a regain spell in that thread if you read through it.

The link is essentially a list of upcoming spells that were already in the game, but were relisted to be usable by players at certain levels. Things such as holy II, Meteor, and, more topic with this thread, Comet. I've always been skeptical that comet was going to be a scholar spell but this does renew my hopes. I had begun to think the comet listed on that thread was just Impact, but now I'm not so sure.

Isn't speculation fun!

Would be awesome if they added White Wind, always an iconic spell. I would hope a JA they could give is letting us use a single spell from our entire library once.

WHM getting addle lol...SE continues to ***on RDM.

Friends and I have been talking about what we want for blu and what we will likely get...we all agree a better aoe cure would be nice, Healing Breeze is crap. White Wind answers that so score 1 for SE..too bad they are still in the negative.

White wind is coming.

"White Wind is scheduled to be added in the next version update."

Yeah, I hope we get an ability that allows us to cast any spell we've learned, not just the one we have set. I think that'd be fair enough. Especially if one of our new buff spells is pro/shell(30 minute timer) and we can avoid setting it just to cast.

Or situationally use MP Drainkiss like spells every-so-often. Would open up so much more cool stuff we could do on the fly.

That would be worth it just to avoid having to use 12/55 points on yellow procs. And, I think it should be called enlightenment.

- 1st barria spell is definitly Barrier Tusk: Grants defense and magic defense boost to the marid. for me is it's both possible to long wait P-S spell or just Def + Mdef Up. but sound not like to be phalynx

-2nd Ice Spell is very seem like to be Ruszors - Frozen Mist: - AoE Ice damage and Dispel. Additional Effect: Frozen. Envelopes its user in an icy mist which repells all melee attacks, granting them a physical shield effect until the mist dissipates.
(Which i don't think SE is good enough to give blu this additional effect lol)

- 3rd Is very seem like Ladybug - Sudden Lunge: - Knockback damage and Stun effect. Ignores Utsusemi, reduces Ladybug's HP by 5%-15% whether it hits or not. (May new headbutt?, but HP Reduce think will not apply to blu? Just hope so =w=)

4 - That skull spell is look like Iratham move for menot sure is
Malign Invocation: Mid-high AoE damage with Additional Effect: Amnesia.
or Deathly Diminuendo: AoE damage with Additional Effects: Bio and Curse.

5 - Dark spell dmg with sparking is definitly Dark Orb - Area of Effect, Dark Damage ( Another Dark base magic, look like SE so love to give blu Dark base magic)

6 - Look like another Gaze type spell which so hard to fix which is it , but it look like Tauri - Mortal Ray - Single target Doom. Gaze Attack. (Just hope it's not super just Show off magic again no ways land to nm anyways lol)

7 - Definitly Golem - Heavy Strike: - Moderate single-target damage. for me also (Just hope is good dmg for just single hit)

8 - Definity Behemoth - Thunderbolt: 40' AoE Lightning damage and Stun.
(Just wonder how dmg will deal + if it's really wide range like origial, sound like doom for blu for me lol)

9 - Definilty Poroggos - Water Bomb - 10' AoE water damage (centered on the primary target) with Silence

10 - Definitly Adamantoise - Harden Shell - Defense Boost effect. (Hope it was longer stay version of Def up, I both love and hate cocoon for a reason.

totally 10 spell for 5 lv is very common for SE to give blue, I just hope we will see more than this actually since HNM WS will speratly form normal spell list. and so far only 2 HNM is add in this update =/ i really hope we can see all 3 Land King for this update so we still miss Wyrm ;;, And as SE tradition for blu magic add, which will switch to give between potent physical magic and magic debuff/buff magic, since last update we have quite strong physical magic so this update will not have any "Strong Physical Blue Magic" apply.
