Blue Mage: Best thread ever

[Priran]

Hmmmm, can anyone think of anything else I can do to boost damage? I'm pretty sure I have the best possible equipment setup (outside of Morrigan) but are there other things that would be better?

SMN Fenrir stat buff more than MND potion?

Uggleppih is more than +5 MND I know.

Anything else?

conduct the tests in an area with lightning weather, or swap the rairin obi for something else

/BLM. I think the extra Magic Att+ would trump the loss of base MND.

[Scythiroth]

Maybe try it on puddings?

Feh what I said, I'm all late. >_>

Yeah, I just saw D:<

MAB does not stack, so /BLM dosen't give you anything that Reactor Cool + Magic hammer dosen't already give you.

I was using the Rabbits for consistency of #s. I'll see what I can do though.

Question - does closing a level 2 chain with chain affinity yield 2 skillchain points for the Sapara of Trials? I've garnered about 280 points this way and I was afraid that closing gravitation doesn't give me anything when closed with Blue Magic.

closing with magic period gives you nothing except opening points.

[kuronosan]

So I don't get two points for opening a level 2 chain, I only get 1 point?

Instance:

Red Lotus Blade > Nightmare Scythe would normally make Gravitation, which means I get 2 points for opening a level 2 chain.

Red Lotus Blade > Death Scissors makes Gravitation, do I still get 2 points or does Blue Magic not count?

[Delekii]

this info is only 2 pages back

Opening any skillchain: 1p
Closing level 1: 2p
Closing level 2: 3p
Closing level 3: 5p

Spells do not count, only sword WS.

[kuronosan]

Thanks. That means I have a lot longer to go than I thought. ; ;

/blm gives you MABII, which is 24%, as opposed to BLU's MABI, which is 20%.

[Tonko]

You also loose MND with /BLM, I'll try it and see if it's worth it.

Fenrir will give up to +7 MND on New Moons.

Carbuncle can also give approx. +20 or so to a stat using Glittering Ruby, which degrades over time like a DRK's Absorb spell, but getting MND is not guaranteed, of course.

that was my point though...I think I said this before.

I was under the impression that any traits given from spells was the lvl 1 version. BLM30 gets MAB2. Does that mean that certain configurations of the spells give stronger versions of the traits, or is the MAB trait given from spelsl just MAB2 ?

You know what, that brings up a good question. I often believe we get Resist Sleep IV Trait from spell combos at 75, it procs so much during my Imp adventures. Almost like the Trait was scaling with level.

[Zeosilot]

You know, /blm for the extra 4% Magic Atk Bonus *may* be worth it considering you'd be able to exchange the spells you have set for Magic Atk Bonus trait for additional+Mnd spells.

Kinda sounds like a toss up though.

Once you've got a set up that you're happy with I would like to see how much damage you do on some sort of higher level mob. I know back when I was testing magic hammer when it first came out I was getting 300~ish dmg on level 1 mobs but it dropped to... 250 or so on IT mamool's

(I can't really remember the exact #'s, it was so long ago, lol)

[Tonko]

The spells I used to get MAB (Reactor Cool, Magic Hammer) Also have hefty + MND (+5 total I think) so they would've been set anyways.

Edit: I'll do more testing when I can get a Novio on a Thunder's day.

[Zeosilot]

Ah, in that case sounds like /whm ftw.... lol.

On a seperate note... I think out of everyone I've ever seen you have an account most similar to mine (job wise) Tonko.

Zeos: 75 Rdm, 75 Blm, 75 Blu, 75 War, 68 Smn vs
Tonko: 75 Rdm, 75 Blm, 75 Blu, 75 Brd, 65 Bst

4/5 jobs the same!
