[1.2.314] Battlemage Job

1) Xblow skills aren't melee attacks.
2) No. You take the triple blow icon and tap it X amount of times to do xblow. Different xblows have different timings.
3) It's a finish used after the last hit in xblow. It is extremely useful, but not until mid game to end game. It is very weak at first.
4) Only magic.
5) It just doubles it. It's the same as HB. Unconfirmed if it stacks.
6) The same as any other mage...
7) Battle mage skills are neutral. Estaffs affects battle mages the same way estaffs affect magic claw.
8) Not yet.

So the "X" Blow skills are just magic attacks, that have the appearance of a staff hitting the monsters just for visuals?
