@Arcana27961: I hope it is, having your damage reduced by 95% is quite a lot. (From the video.)

I don't get why people are saying that you should get a different Elemental Staff because Paralyze is now Fire element. Aren't Ele 5 and 6 glitched as to where they both give 10% fire damage and only 5% poison damage? Either way, it's only 5% damage which you probably won't even notice..

[quote=scrumble]@doc: There's this video that shows this somewhat. At some point, her damage is lowered immensely, why I have no idea, but when it does the flames still spawn. There's also this little bit where smaller patches of flames come up. I have no idea how this is triggered, but I guess we'll just need to wait on the details.

I'm 95% sure that's just a glitch related to Elemental Drain.

Poison mist was nerfed as well, but eh.

@Sungoon: Oh, yea, good point again.

Not that I'm trying to make fun of you, it's just coming from someone who doesn't main a F/p *whew* Although you should consider yourself lucky. You could've gotten the screw-up us Paladins got. [/quote]

We really aren't in any trouble. The way I see it, we'll have more use out of Mist Eruption because of the damage cap increase to 50m. So I think it's a better idea to stick to the poison weapons

Ifrit and Elquines gained some weight. Fire and Poison Arch Mages didn't seem to use fire a lot though.

[quote=Deadly1337]so your telling me 10% damage is nothing? must be nice to have so many worthless level 163 items with higher base matk than anything we bishops can use.[/quote]

No, but it's definitely nothing to be considered "overpowered".

wonder if they will raise the limit of DoT's on a monster now that it seems like everything FM does adds DoT

He now adds a passive +70% mastery. Love him yet?

[quote=scrumble]Also this 2nd job skill allows you to spawn flames whenever you hit a mob with a fire elemental skill, this one seems pretty awesome. If I believe what I've seen from the level 6x FP Mage Video that's up on youtube, the damage taken from these spawned flames adds up pretty easily. [/quote]

What i'm concerned is if it requires a death of a monster for the flame to spawn, if not, the new Paralyze + this = a whole new era of damage I can stack and it will be MASSIVE.

Let's hope they change the color of the hyper skill to red or crimson also. I don't see why you guys have blue/purple/green/red/orange animations. Fire/poison class or rainbow class?

[i]Elemental Adapting (F/P): Your mastery over fire and poison allows you to consume 15% of your MP in order to create a shield that defends against one status effect. There is an 80% chance of regenerating the shield (maximum of 3 times) or else the skill will go on cooldown. There is a cooldown of 300 seconds Passive effect: 20% resistance to states and elements. (max level: 20)[/i]

We finally have some status resistance. :O

I wont be changing Elemental Staves. Saves a lot of trouble!
Aside from that, the change in Paralyze's animation, I think its awesome to see more fire in 4th job, but the skill name and animation dont really fit each other anymore.

Anyone seen the new Fire skill in 4th job? Called "Flame Haze" I believe. Its supposed to be a 1v1 attacking skill. Also this 2nd job skill allows you to spawn flames whenever you hit a mob with a fire elemental skill, this one seems pretty awesome. If I believe what I've seen from the level 6x FP Mage Video that's up on youtube, the damage taken from these spawned flames adds up pretty easily. I, for one, am pretty interested in seeing the new gameplay for 4th job FP's (and higher if possible), we're getting back on our DoT tour with the possibility of having a Final Attack. I mean... Come on! How cool is a final attack that throws a small Meteor at your enemies? That's just awesome. ^^

On a side note, RIP Poison Mist's Frog, you will be dearly missed. Even more so than Elemental Composition. The new gas animation from Poison Mist is better though, makes it easier to spot enemies in the fog and whatnot. (Even though it wasnt that hard to begin with...)

[quote=duriel123]We still have mist eruption dont we?[/quote]

Yeah.

We still have mist eruption dont we?

Red Paralyze looks weird to me D: I'd prefer to keep it purple... New Meteor looks cool, but it looks like they kept the current "effect 0" the same, that is, the gears. I love how poison is more involved in 3rd job!

Edit: And I don't think people with poison staves are gonna have to switch to fire...

@doc: I really loved Big Bang also, granted only my I/L mage is in her 4th job. My F/P mage is fairly new. I am quite upset but it won't destroy my characters. I think Big Bang was one of the nicest skills in the game.

I do not understand why Paralyze isn't a poison attack. I would think that venom would shut down the body's nerves. With fire errr you can cause Asphyxia which then could lead you to be completely shut down?

I personally made a F/P mage from my Blaze Wizard because I really liked the look of Ifrit and I was afraid that the revamp of the Blaze Wizards would most likely remove it. I am quite dismayed at how Ifrit looks now haha. I can't say too much on the changes to F/P mages since I've barely dabbled my toes into this class thus far.

I could only find 1st-3rd job skills so far, but I'm surprised I didn't have to wait all day for an F/P video.

I hope Paralyze goes back to being purple and the poison type. If you want fire spells, there's always the upcoming Blaze Wizard revamp...[/quote]

Fire Arrow... More like Fire turd

Is it just me, or am I the only one [b]VERY[/b] upset that big bang was removed....? I loved it so much...

[quote=Deadly1337]poor archmages and your OP elemental staff bonuses [/quote]

Overpowered my ass. They're only 10%/5% right now. That barely does anything.

And thus, balance was restored between fire and poison.

They might need to change the animation/name though since paralysis is more related to poison and eyes are related to petrifying(paralysis) imo.

And the new Ifrit and Elquines? Look really cool..but they should allow us to press the skill icon with the right button to change the skills to the old animations

And who is that weird green gas using a tiara? A froggy would be better..jumping around and causing the effects...
