3 new spells o.O

Erratic Flutter: Wamoura
(better Haste) Yay!

Thrashing Assault: Meeble
(It's a 4-hit attack; possible replacement for QC or A. Spikes...? Hope so!)

Subduction: Marolith
(Emm... Graviga... wooptiedoo)

Well I got the Meeble one right; but didn't expect the other two...

Added them to the list along with a 'confirmed' image.
Pretty happy with Erratic Flutter and Thrashing Assault, although I do hope we're getting at least 3 spells from the WKR bosses.
But if we don't it's still nice to get new spells, so I'm not complaining.
Learning from meebles is going to be interesting. What would be the best operation to do this? I haven't done much Meeble Burrows.

So we are getting Haste 2. Erratic Flutter counts as a Flurry effect too iirc, so that may be a hint as to Haste 2 being Flurry rather than Haste itself. Given the recast time on Thrashing Assault, I suspect it's actually going to be useful.

Hopefully getting more than these 3, but we'll see.

There's an assaut where 8 meebles are grouped at the end. 1 being a NM. So this one looks like the good candidate :)

Goal is to kill 3 NMs 2 being maroliths. I'll have to look at the list to remember which one is it. Definately Sauromugue though.

there's also one that spawns an infinite amount of meebles until you win or time runs out, the Svaha fight. I believe it's Instructor 5 for Batallia

Hoping these spells come with good job traits. DW, DA, & Crit Bonus.

I expected the Marolith ability, since an LS member and I were talking about which one was most likely to be given from Marolith. He wanted the "machine gun" move, that I can't remember the name of.

Erratic Flutter sounds like it has potential to stack with Animating Wail, if it's a flurry effect instead of an actual haste effect.

Will have to see what kind of chain effect Thrashing Assault has, but I was also hoping for more WKR spells

Yeah, I think it's finally time to switch over from 1/5 to 5/5.

5 second recast on an aoe wind dmg may have potential depending on the mp consumption.

I hope we get more than three. Three wont really do anything to fix blu from swinging swords mostly and a buff here and there.

Our ability to specialize in melee output was perhaps the best buff the job ever received. I wouldn't be too annoyed with it. That said, we are long overdue for a higher MP cost, high output spell and Thrashing Assault will very likely satisfy that. QC and Amorphic are pretty outdated.

Erratic flutter will be best got in the assults where if you wait five minutes or so all mobs turn into this guy.

Just say if the new spells were from the wkrs 4-6 (yumcax/wopket, hurkan/cailimh, kumhau/whateveritsnameis) based on previous instances you're probably getting uproot from wopket. Kinda surprised you don't have uproot listed as a choice :o

(wkr shark you got verve instead of marine mayhem, tree does uproot to unlock tiiimbeeer)

I didn't list Uproot because it adds an aura to Yumcax. BLU's aren't getting aura effects. That's for GEO's.

*facepalm* Blistering Roar, Carcharian Verve and Droning Whirlwind are blu spells and they're all the moves that pop the aura on the respective naakuals.

We should have gotten Meeble Warble instead of Thrashing Assault ._.

Also really hope we get more than these 3 spells...

If we get more they would have listed it along with these 3.
I think this update more or less gives a few jobs a better haste, in prep for some of the new content. (BLU, RDM, GEO)

Yeah, they probably would have listed it but it's seeming fairly underwhelming besides Erratic Flutter.

Thrashing Assault could be good, but depends on SC properties. Also Amorphic is part of TH and QC is part of DW so it also depends on the job traits they're a part of. (Obviously Amorphic doesn't matter too much since TH only really useful for loldynamis - but still.)

Yeah the job traits that these new spells give will be a really important factor.

Thrashing Assault is probably another multihit piercing spell so there is that.

I've always wanted Erratic Flutter. Love watching those Wamoura wig out when they get some potent haste love. I too can soon move like Wamoura. Groove like Wamoura.

As long as it does light or darkness with chant, I'm fine with it.

Thrashing Assault is 60 second recast so I expect it to be extremely powerful in relation to all of our 30 second recast multi-hits.

The Graviga spell has a recast of 5 seconds, much like Tempestuous Upheaval. I'm hoping it has the same casting time as well - and my guess is that it's 5+ points and comes with its own Fast Cast trait.

If you feel like expanding the list more, we actually don't get a unique Djinn spell either.

You may be right about blu not getting the aura effects, but blistering roar triggers gabbrath aura, verve triggers rockfin aura and droning whirlwind triggers bee aura. It stands to reason that we will continue to get the move which triggers aura from the wkrs, at least in my opinion. Someone at SE thought these moves were relevant enough to the creatures to have them be important enough to put aura up for the creatures big move.
