Based on feedback and Test Server results, some adjustments have been made to blue mage spells.

  • Lowered accuracy of Heavy Strike

  • The amount of MP consumed for Dark Orb has been reduced about 20%


For balance purposes, the intention is for Heavy Strike to be very powerful, but with a higher chance to miss. Dark Orb was adjusted to balance cost performance in comparison to other Blue Magic.

Please try these out on the Test Server and provide feedback.

This is a follow-up to the previous post about Sudden Lunge.

We will work on fixing skillchain not showing up visually and in the logs, when Sudden Lunge produces a skillchain. (This is just a visual bug, and the effects of skill chain are actually triggered.)

Let this be a lesson. Next time we get a heavy strike-esqu spell everyone on the test server needs to be like
"Oh well this spell's rubbish it costs way to much mp and does way too little damage".

Dunno, but more than likely it'll be capped at a low %, otherwise in abyssea if it just has an inherent -20 accuracy, that's easily made up with by atmas etc.

Going to cast my bet of maybe 50%
AKA not enough :(

It's also the only real way for us to manage that sort of damage on relevant monsters. It's hardly a lot to ask for to have a single source of damage on high level content. :\

ACC on EP clionids doesn't seem all that bad. Have missed 7 in 50 casts so far.

The people chiming in about BLU being "balanced" by this change are probably the same ones that think it does awesome damage even without Heavy Strike. :\
