Perfectly normal. Dawon is practically not worth the hassle of the fight anymore.

except it is :/

[Cymmina]

Would yama's staff +2 (damage version) be a good upgrade over pluto for drain/aspir? I mean, will the damage increase be noticeable?

It's worth noting that you only need the +1 to get Damage+5 since drain/aspir are fairly quick casting. This leaves you free to get the Accuracy+5 as well and upgrade that to +2 for -12% recast time for sleeps.

Just got my BLM to 75, was wondering what merits I should go far and the order in which I should set them.

[Mercilessturtle]

Ice potency and fire potency. Then do AM2s (put a point in each since magic bursting doesn't exist).

[Corgan]

Afflatus Solace vs Afflatus Misery for regular EXP 40-50? Seems like solace would be the no-brainer for the situation, but I quit before these abilities were added...am I missing anything?

Are there any low level spells I really don't need? Been leeching so lacking in all spells essentially, have a lot of stuff to get.

Stuff

Only piece of BLM af1 that's still useful is the pants until you get Portent Pants off Raja.

I can't see much of a need for NIN feet if you're not a nin, besides maybe getting around half the day. Same for Okotes.

Ein/Salv isn't that far in, if I recall. Almost all CSes too. Mini expansions depends on if you need the armor or not. ASA pants are useful PDT/Movement pants for a mage until Refresh subligar/WLegs.

Personal Chocobo is entirely if you want to, I don't have one and can't see a use for one. Nyzul is also if you want a mythic ws/weapon, mostly. Or some goli gear.

Everything else is spot on, though.

I use almost all of the spells fairly regularly, especially while doing things like staff trials. If you're doing trials inside of Abyssea, tier 1/2 spells are more than enough damage to qualify for the killshot minimum requirement if it's already low. If you're doing trials with other people and can time spells right without dying, you'll probably use all of your -aga spells too. Plus, all of your tier 1/2 spells are super cheap, so there's no reason not to have them.

Tier 3/4, AM1, -aga3 are grellow spells.

this is just a little dreaming im doing, but doesTP bonus affect which aftermath effect you get? specifically on imperial weapons, im musing at a combibation of Aymur with a TP bonus or a kraken axe for max lv3 aftermath on pets, of course this is a long way away but even so

Atma doesn't alter aftermaths, wouldn't expect TPBonus weapons to either.

Can anyone direct me to an advanced BLM gear/spellcast thread?

[Colenzo]

[ClarkSammich]

Repop on non-abyssea T3 VNM? Something like 3-12 hours right?

[Villian]

How come ukon's fury sometimes give me 14tp, 15 tp, 16tp (always 1/14/15/16 with warrior's charge), 17-18tp, and 20tp return with AoA atma? Got 20tp return twice now while orthus is frozen and did 7.5k fury higher than normal. I don't use any store tp gears during WS. :3

You dumb?

[cdgreg]

I'm looking at some wildfire sets on ffxiah.com and I'm seeing a lot of focus on AGI. I was under the impression that MAB>AGI although AGI is the only modifier according to wiki. Is there a rough estimate of 1 MAB = X AGI for dmg purposes? Also am I doing it right with aquiline belt?

Got lost, any ideas?

[Kamil]

Atmas for Aeolian Edge non brew?

I did the 10 bottled pixie trial like 2-3 months ago, I would port to Meri Mount [S] and go south down the ramp and fight a spawn that would repop without fail every 5 minutes, actually did the trial for me, wife, and an alt, so 30 Pixies. Now I'm trying to finish it off and do the 15 Pixie trial and nothing is popping at this spot by telepoint. What gives? Is there some other mob(s) that act as it's PH, dats say there's 5 in the zone total, 1 by Castle O [S] entrance is camped (atm) and a farther walk each tele. Thanks for any info.
