Yeah, I'm biased but this update seems like they're not only giving us what we expected, stuff we only dreamed of as well as entirely new stuff I didn't see coming...
Stratagem: Perpetuance (SCH Lv.87)
Increases the enhancement effect duration of your next white magic spell.
Stratagem: Immanence (SCH Lv.87)
Makes it possible for your next elemental magic spell to be used in a skillchain, but not a magic burst.
Spells:
Adloquium SCH Lv.88
Aquaveil SCH Lv.13
Blink SCH Lv.29
Stoneskin SCH Lv.44
Shell V RDM Lv.87 / SCH Lv.90
Blaze Spikes SCH Lv.30
Ice Spikes SCH Lv.50
Shock Spikes SCH Lv.70
Aero V SCH Lv.87 (Addendum: Black)
Break RDM Lv.87 / SCH Lv.90 (Addendum: Black)
Perpetuance I saw coming, to be honest. I fully expected its Dark Arts equivalent to be the same except in an offensive aspect (Sleep lasting longer, etc.) but Immanence just blows my mind... so I can now SKILLCHAIN (not magic burst) off of what the DDs are doing? I am going to have fun playing with this one. I can see it being a bit meticulous, but it's a skill I can't wait to try to develop.
Adloquium I guess is the new Regain spell that was labeled in the dats (now even more likely since COR got a Regain roll). And there is a god, we have Aquaveil/Blink/Stoneskin now natively. I gotta level /BLM now, it's still hanging around 37 unused. This will also be nice for /SCH options. Spikes and Break are a plus. Overall, I'm quite happy. :D Seems like everyone else got either a nice JA or something they were fully expecting. (LOL @ the BLM trait which will ruin time nuking.)
