Possible New BLU Spells (11/11/11 Test Update)
Kind of hope Bloodrake doesnt suck like the other drain HP spells, but that's me being ambitious.
Will fill this in as I get data.
Quadrastrike
Deals moderate to severe physical damage and can crit while under the effect of either Chain Affinity or Efflux.
Vapor Spray
HP/2. Poison unknown (presumably broken, I couldn't get it to land a single time).
Thunder Breath
100% of HP = damage
Orcish Counterstance
1 Minute duration, 10% +/- counter (approx., still need to parse it), no reduction of defense and a separate effect from Counterstance.
Amorphic Spikes
Deals around the same damage as Quadratic Continuum, if not slightly more, and makes Darkness with CDC.
Wind Breath
HP/4
Barbed Crescent
Decent damage, decent range(NOT a true ranged attack). Accuracy down effect is -30 accuracy for 2-3 minutes.
Unbridled Learning spells:
Absolute Terror
Lasted about 20 seconds. Seems to share the same resistance properties as Jettatura i.e. will not land on any NMs.
Gates of Hades
5fTP, 1.0dINT, 20% STR/DEX, the burn effect is 21HP/tic with a presumably potent INT down to go with it.
Tourbillion
Moderate to severe physical damage along with a 33% DEF down effect that lasts for roughly 2-3 minutes.
Pyric Bulwark
Broken at the moment, cannot test.
Bilgestorm
Low physical damage along with a 25% Attack and DEF down as well as an untested ACC down.
Bloodrake
Moderate to severe physical damage that drains HP to the caster for the same amount as damage done.
Quadrastrike
Deals moderate to severe physical damage and can crit while under the effect of either Chain Affinity or Efflux.
Vapor Spray
HP/2. Poison unknown (presumably broken, I couldn't get it to land a single time).
Thunder Breath
100% of HP = damage

Quadrastrike
Deals rather nice damage and appears to have the ability to crit outside of Chain Affinity. More testing in progress.
Thunder Breath
100% of HP = damage
Wind Breath
HP/4
Bloodrake
Did 1758 to an EP turtle in Tahrongi and drained 100% of the damage as HP.

amorphic spikes does about the same damage as qc and makes darkness with cdc
[+]
as I posted on bg, amorphic is looking like our new best sc closer, wind breath our most efficient and effective magic attack, and bloodrake a very effective emergency heal. crescent may also turn out being nice for the -acc while eva tanking and quadrasrike is looking rather nice as well

Bitchin!
Edited my post to include all of the info that I've gathered.
I hope quadrastrike doesnt get the same nerf that Heavy Swing got. Or heavy strike, or whatever, i forget the name atm since I never use it.
Wow, Wind Breath was better than expected. It and Thunder Breath look like actual useful breath spells. Amorphic Spikes making Darkness with CDC is WTFPWN. Bloodrake is also awesome.
Vapor Spray is a breath?

Likely won't, it functions differently. It has no chance to crit without a JA.

There are no animations yet. Even on the test server, every one of the new spells uses the same generic attack animation including the AoE spells and the buffs. It's kinda dissapointing.
Main draw of breaths is their semi-constant damage and ability to ignore Magic Defense. Presumably the poison on Vapor Spray will be decent, if it's not it's basically just a more expensive Heat Breath with a DoT tacked on.
With all these breath spells now, Blue mages could be Dragonborn dovahkiin

We dont have breathe spells yet, but we sure do have breath spells.
was also thinking the dark breath might come from the yilbegan type dragons? if they ever plan on giving us a dark breath :|

What I've got so far for physical spell mods:
Quadrastrike - STR
Bloodrake - STR
Amorphic Spikes - DEX, INT
Not going any deeper than that yet, and not doing the other Unbridled Learning spells. Takes houuuurs. Will find the stats for Barbed Crescent but otherwise the testing is mostly complete until the spells are on live and in their final form.
Doubtful, basic stat modifiers are the least likely thing to change which is why I haven't done anything besides those with the exception of Gates of Hades, which only required like 5 casts. Breaths and everything else are also very easy to retest. Only physical spells provide issues.

But yeah, we're missing dark still.
Okay so, done with the physicals that I care about testing.
Currently looks like:
Quadrastrike - 25% STR, 1.25 fTP
Amorphic Spikes - 20% DEX/INT, 1.0 fTP (possible attack boost)
Barbed Crescent - 50% DEX, 2.0 fTP (possible attack boost)
Bloodrake - 30% STR, 1.1875 fTP (possible attack boost)
Numbers aren't exact, only reasonably close estimates based on the data I have. Will do more when the spells are in their final forms.

Any word on new traits? Or adding to existing ones? Ive heard about treasure hunter being one of them but do we have anything adding to triple attack? 4 spells for 1 trait is awful...

Sweet. Looks like i might be going back to just the double attack trait though. With all these new spells i dont think im gonna have room for most of them at this rate. Lol
Edit: That thread you linked is ridiculously long. Haha, but got a lot of info out of it.
HMM amphoric is dex mod, that makes life easy going from cdc >> amphoric.
