Blue Mage: Best thread ever

Demon:
DMG:41 Delay:236 MP+15 DEX+2 VIT+2
Enhances "Demon Killer" effect

Imps are demons, no?

'Tis a fine imp soloing sword probably.

Yep, and useless everywhere else unless you plan on spamming Vorpal Blade.

Someone asked if the killer effects affect Blu Spell Damage towards those mobs. I told him no thats monster correlation, but I wasnt 100% sure tbh. Killer effects dont affect damage, right?

Killer effects dont help damage, but most of my meriting comes from soloing imps. So I'd be satisfied with an occasional intimidation compared to most other stats you can get from a sword while soloing.

The dragon one is nice for when tanking wyrms (hey I've heard of BLU tanking wyrms, gogo MDB.)

Martial Anelance > any of them because of the TP bonus.

I hope you're joking.

The "TP Bonus" dosen't effect spells. It also dosen't give you more TP per swing. It makes normal WSs act as if they had more TP when performed.

Martial Analace is crap.

Thanks, Mr. Obvious? We all know those things about Martial Anelance. The point was never to decide which was better for spells, as none of them are. Sub nin, Martial main hand, Dissector or Ifrit's offhand. There's nothing wrong with the sword. Jesus, I expected more from BG.

These new swords are better than Martial Anelace how?

[Mertron]

Oh BTW, how do fellow BLU's feel about probably having to wait forever before we start seeing AF1+1 and AF2+1? Even if they add AF2 next patch, they aren't going to be adding the +1's with it.

I can wait. Theres really no telling what stats will go with af2, and for af+1 the only ones that will probably be worth updating are the body then the head, unless they add something interesting to the other peices. I'm satisfied with the job for now, I can wait.

Except that Dissector/Ifrits is better then any combination including Anelace?

Why oh why did I toss my ifrits a long ass time ago.

Martial anelace isnt really all that great, the best thing going for it is that most other swords blu can use arent that great either. The newer swords have higher base damage and less delay, better for burn type parties than martial, the tp boost doesnt really help all that much outside of savage blade.

If all you do is cast spells. Martial has more base damage than Dissector, gives bonus WS damage, but has 6% less crit, which really isn't as good as you'd like to believe. The swords are all fairly even, all things considered.

The point has never been which is the best sword/swords for BLU, as none of these are. Simply that a relatively easy to obtain sword is better than anything being suggested here.

Savage Blade + Disseverment for Distortion is a pretty nice combo.

I'm well aware, I use it in BLU burns when chain affinity is up, otherwise I just use vorpal. I would still use the demon killer sword.

Martial Anelace is easier to get than Ifrits or Dissector ??
wow you are on crack.


anyone can get an Ifrits Blade at this point, and Dissesctor drops from Double Dragonian, so I'm sure you can get one NP getting some mnk their Destroyers.

[Falconblade]

Anyone Manage to get a hold of the new Swords and test how potent the Intimidating part is? Even if its 5% chance it'd be nice to have.

[Helpoemer]

first type of these swords to appear on AH was the HQ demon slayer sword ¬_¬ and scint ingots are like 2mil now on bahamut

[pendragoon]

Demon Slayer is crazy on imps... proc rate is pretty decent, atleast 1/10 maybe even 1/5. It's saved me countless amounts of dmg.

Scin. Ingots are expensive, but if you have a goldsmthing friend...

Lamian Armlet > HQ3 desynth is Scin. Ingots.

Toss on the earring and see if it stacks.

[Alistaire]

I've had stun not land on magic resistant mobs in xp parties. Most notibly when a eye was casting sleepga2 and headbutt got off but it never stunned. >.<

And I've had the stun effect work consistently on magic pots who have Magic Barrier up. Can't get much more magic resistant than that.

And I posted somewhere about how frightful roar and chaotic eye land despite magic barrier, and asked if anyone else had other spells work (think this was on ki). Didn't get any responses, so I'll mention that here.

As well, next water-farming party in sky I'll go and test all the magical spells on them.

I'm currently trying to get another sword to see if swords stack, and i've been watching the AH for the Dragon earring, but nothing...

[shinobi_tabi]

i wonder if they will add a relic weapon for blu
maybe it will cost gold imperials lol

[Lithiani]

They said something about a relic-esque series of weapons, around the time of the initial release of the expansion. The prevailing theory at the time was that they would be the secondary "class" of weapons from each weapon type. So the Sword would be a Scimitar or Cutlass maybe, the Polearm would be a Yari (or perhaps a Spear), the H2H would be Claws or Sainti, the Axe would be a Pick or Battleaxe and so on and so forth.

[Popsiclestick]

More importantly, where is the Flan Smasher >.<?
