Just because AM2 will do more damage then AM1 (obviously) and Teir 4 spells doenst mean it'll be applied to endgame. Think of it this way... On Kirin ( i'm using kirin cause hes the biggest guy i've ever fought) blms get resisted out the ass, not to mention hes running around all over the place. So what would you do, use a spell that has a chance to do massive amounts of damage that will most likly take 1/3 or 1/2 of your MP pool and get resisted or have him run out of the way for most of your castings, or use the teir 4 spells that have just as much chance of getting resisted but use much less MP AND do a decent ammount of damage if it connects? Personally I would take the second option since it has the ability to do more damage in the long run.
And yes, just because AM2 isnt usable at this very moment and dont know the 'exact' stats of it, doenst mean we dont have a decent idea as to how its going to be implemented. With all of our magic we see a gradual climb in MP usage, cast time and damage spike. Why would AM 2 be any different?
and now it's brought to thinking... don't AM lower the resist of the element they are strong to? (flare -> Weakened to ice) if so the whole "omg nerf" cold be avoided by a 1-2 second stall between BLM's all doing AMII in order... that would do some damage.
