So.... anyone else seeing BLU using Diffusion to Memento Mori 5xBLM as being kinda scary? Wonder how bad the recast will be.

Re: Merit Point Adjustments (05/30/2007)

I've never seen that spell in action, but it sounds pretty good to me.

Hmm, yeah I wonder about that recast. If it's 20 minutes like almost every other meritable JA, then bleh ....

I got a good few weeks on you but yes, you're not the only one who thought of that. And I believe it's MAB +20 for 20 seconds or something like that? Combined with Wizard's Roll from a COR and you got some nasty power.

No one cares about BLM any more.

Those new merits for BLU/COR/PUP are really good..

BLU most of all though - If Convergence allows you to target any single party member, just imagine using it to Diamondhide your tank..

Or using Diffusion with Refueling? Probably not as spectacular as the above example.. but it'd be about par with Garuda's Hastega I imagine.

Maybe not you.. I've actually seen a HUGE resurgence in people levelling BLM lately, myself included.

Don't sell BLMs short. They're still insanely good at end-game.

Oh, and yes, 5xMemento Mori could be pretty nifty.

Corsair most definitely got the most useful Group 2's though. Forcing a 1 on a roll is really, really nice, and being able to erase a bust is made of win.

Even if Diffusion divides the potency of the spell by however many party members you have, that's still at least about the same as having a second Moldavite Earring. I could see that coming in VERY useful in Dynamis or HNM fights.

Arse. I already need a ton of merits for my very soon to be 3 75 jobs, now I have to get 8/8 Elemental Magic skill too?

Re: Merit Point Adjustments (05/30/2007)

Everything is definitely looking good, especially the combat skills.

Hmm, while you are at it you could make an extra 30 merits and send em to my MH in Fenrir.

I gotta cap Enhancing Magic next.

I could have sworn Diamond Hide was already an AoE move?

It is. Covergence is the opposite of Diffusion. You take an AoE, strip it down to affecting a single target, and in return the spell increases in power.

Re: Merit Point Adjustments (05/30/2007)

Oh right. But diamonhide is self-cast isn't it?
