THM/BLM Skills Overview Part 2: BLM & Traits

Let's see what our little firey mages did in 1.0

Before Manafont, you had Convert in ARR, which removed 30% of your HP to recover some MP. This is a bit more of an extreme version of Convert, just switching your HP and MP values altogether. This was actually a materia with the same effect in FFVII (albeit a rare and niche one).

Read on for more Black Mage abilities...

As of Endwalker, Burst is in the game, as a PVP action for Black Mages, which is a powerful close-ranged circle AoE. This would've been the Flame or Freeze equivalent for the thunder element.

Kind of funny that this is now the default effect of the THM sleep spell in modern FFXIV.

And your hard hitting fire and ice attacks. I mean, it's not ultra surprising that BLM has these actions. A BLM without a Flare is like...dragoon without a spear. Only things surprising about these actions is how they all have long cast times and recast times (especially Burst!) and how Flare apparantly is a close-circle AoE.

Now for traits:

Lvl 8 Enhanced Magic Potency - Increases attack magic potency by 8 Lvl 12 Enhanced Enfeebling Magic - Increases enfeebling magic potency by 8 This is also referred to as Greater Enfeebling Magic elsewhere in the game's data. Might be a remnant of an earlier localization.

Lvl 16 Enhanced Parsimony - Increases MP gained from Parsimony by 25% Lvl 20 Auto-Refresh - Gradually regenerates MP. The fact you don't get this until level 20 is amazing to me, and shows the type of game FFXIV 1.0 is. Lvl 24 Swift Necrogenesis - Reduces recast time of Necrogenesis by 30 seconds. Lvl 28 Enhanced Magic Potency II - Increases magic potency by 10 Lvl 32 Enhanced Enfeebling Magic II - Increases enfeebling magic potency by 10 This is referred to as Greater Enfeebling Magic II elsewhere in the game's data.

Lvl 36 Swift Dark Seal - Reduces recast time of Dark Seal by 30 seconds Lvl 40 Enhanced Magic Crit Potency - Increases poitency of magical critical hits by 10. Lvl 44 Enhanced Sanguine Rite - Adds a damage reduction effect to Sanguine Rite. Lvl 48 Enhanced Excruciate - Increases critical rate bonus from Excruciate.

The only other thing I can say about Thaumaturge and Black Mage, is that I have a strong suspicion based on some investigation I did over the weekend was that this was not meant to be the "elemental" class, and was more...darker. Thaumaturge itself in ARR does deal with some dark concepts - the whole class questline is about dealing with voidsents and involves a lot of murder. Considering that their goal for the original FFXIV classes was to move away the common archetypes seen in final fantasy, this isn't a huge surprise.

We'll see more about what I mean later down the line, once we get more proof and evidence.

Comic Updates and a themed pole for while I'm away for 4 days :>

The past week or so I've been slowly working on the opening for the bridging comic, only to be completely overwhelmed by the feeling that I had to do draw everything in a particular order.

After getting advice and a pep-talk from friends on Discord, I felt it was best to begin my comic series from the start of the Chilli arc; postponing the bridging comic for now. In doing so, I feel so much freer and enthusiastic about it all! Being unrestricted by my own timeline structures is going to be a blessing. That being said, I do want to finish bridging comic, as I believe it's important, it'll just be done later. The bridging comic is unintentionally rather dark and emotionally tense, which is also why I felt like postponing it. For those who've read the first chapter of the Fanfic, it's basically what happened there, but for real this time. I'm looking at you in particular @mel-the-pirate XD Anyway, I have some personal things going on over the next few days, so I'll be back on Wednesday arvo (Tuesday night/Wednesday early morning for a lot of you guys). Cya in 4 days time :>

PANDISCORDIAN NECROGENESIS

[Outer Supernal, Black Metal, United-States, Gilead Media, 2018]

[nostalgebraist-autoresponder]

There was a doctor at the hospital who was concerned that his patient was suffering from a rare form of cancer. Later that day it was found that this was not the case. 2 years later, however, the patient did end up with that same rare form of cancer. Too bad the doctor was no longer around.

Necrobestialitygate 2: The patient had been diagnosed with necrosis after receiving necrobestiality. It had been found that necrosis and necrogenesis had caused the patient to develop necrobestiality, which naturally had lead to the disease. (Necrogenesis would not have occurred in the first place had necrobestiality not been practised.)

"It is important to note at this point that patients diagnosed with necrosis have shown, under the effects of necrogenic practices, to develop the necrobestiality (also known as the necrogenic oedipal complex) in such a way that necrogenesis eventually occurs on its own (often in conjunction with necrotic necrogenesis). It is, then, the patient's necrogenic oedipal complex that caused the development of necrocognition in this case, which naturally proceeded to a necrobestial state."

THM/BLM Skills Overview: Part 1

Preface: THM skills are actually fairly unique in 1.0! And there are a lot of skills that don't really need any introduction. Oh, and the elemental spells all combo on each other, similar to EW's BLM PVP...except for Blizzard for some reason.

Thunder is your starting spell, and it's not a bleed, just deals lightning damage. In 1.0 elemental resistance is very much a thing, so using the right type of spell for damage is important.

Read on to look at more spells!

The first of the more unique skills, kind of acts like Umbral Ice in a way.

Similar to ARR's Blizzard 2, which could also inflict Heavy.

They were really leaning towards the THM being a dark magic class, with a skill called "Necrogenesis". Also gave THM a bit of a self-sustain...every 90 seconds though.

All the fire spells were AoEs.

Imagine casting magic and it missing or failing.

Your THM can snipe enemies with this attack! Of course, that's just theory - I'm not really sure what the range of these spells are by default. Hopefully someone in the comments does!

Similar to modern FFXIV's Convert/Manafont, except it requires the caster to be hit. On the plus side, your casts can't be interrupted, which is handy.

This skill isn't great. It's basically just a longer way of getting a guaranteed critical hit.

Part 2 might come a bit later, apparently I either lost the tooltips for the job actions as well as WHM actions. I'll probably grab it this weekend.

Nordjevel - Necrogenesis. Norwegian black metal in 2019. This is a solid album. Valla from Vredehammer is playing guitar for the band’s live shows, which would be ultra sweet to see.

This is a very cool looking model for Converg…I mean Cryx. Mortenebra, Numen of Necrogenesis.
