Blue Mage: Best thread ever

[NynJa]

With that being said, I notice an increase in damage when dhalmels or sheep use berserk.

Maybe there is a set dmg based on something by your character...ie: bludgeon will always register with x attack, or something that makes a difference in damage only viable when the mobs def changes.

I was in dynamis when I googled that so I didn't really get to look at it much. Read it now and this made me lol

THF
Treasure Hunter: 1=about 40% up of drop rate,and 2=about double of the drop rate than no treasure hunter,but this is just approximate number

Yea, this info sucks.

[Nirokun!]

for what its worth to anyone, landing something like frightful roar "dispels" any defense-up ability a mob uses

dhalmels used that horrid def-down move, cocoon erases, and replaces it (the debuff icon for the buff icon)

if people dont believe moochi, oi, they need to be ignored :/

<3 Niro.

Anyways, there's another way to get Auto-Refresh w/o Voracious Trunk.


This way is also 1 point cheaper. Voracious Trunk is 4 points I believe? I don't have it so I can't see.

[Priran]

Clear Mind has 4 spells that can be combined into any 2-spell combo to get Clear Mind I, but when all are set simultaneously you get Clear Mind II.

Auto-Refresh II?

had to wait for Moochi to reply, otherwise my post (which was gonna be something along the lines of "what kind of damage increase would you expect ?? bumping 100 dmg spells to 300 dmg ??") would be precieved as an attack on aurik...

Didn't Septimus tell you to knock it off?

Thanks for exemplifying my point to precision.



a 15-20% dmg bonus isnt anything to scoff at, considering frightful roar does lower defence by 20%. If you work by numbers, its just 15-20 extra dmg, so some bigger dmg spells may be in order for more accurate testing (ie: will it pump SA Death Scissors from 1200 to 1500 or from 1200 to 1220).

Nobody here is scoffing at 15-20% dmg bonus, we're questioning whether it is a real effect that lowering defense impacts dmg while raising attack doesn't. That's quite unique.

The same is true for SMN's aside from 5 merits in attack, and af2 feet, the only way we can increase dmg is through making enemy weaker with choke/dia etc.

Corsair has pet attack up rolls!

Just got Hys barrage and it seems to be a weaker version of Disseverment, if not almost equal. When I find the element out I'll post

[Cyberfoxx]

Someone know if you can learn spells in Assault?

[NynJa]

I highly doubt it...the mobs in assault dont give xp.

[Thranduil]

I highly doubt it...the mobs in assault dont give xp.

Mobs in assault are normal mobs that give xp, so yes.

[Moosey]

I highly doubt it...the mobs in assault dont give xp.

erm, yes they do?

[NynJa]

brainfart, was thinking of besieged for some reason...gg me


in that case, then most likely yes.

[stormos]

Just got Hys barrage and it seems to be a weaker version of Disseverment, if not almost equal. When I find the element out I'll post

The way I used to find out the element of the physical spell was to look which stat the spell gives. Hys barrage gives agi and dex so it might have wind and thunder element(maybe fragmentation?).

[Razz]

In a party right now and I'm doing like 489 damage frenetic rips, this move wins. frenetic rip>slugshot SC ftw.

[Vobent]

That with Chain Affinity? I'm going to guess so.

[Toadicus]

As far as physical blue magic and defense, try and think of your blue magic skill as your Weapon Skill Rating, like your H2H skill. To raise/lower your Blue Magic Attack, you need +Blue Magic Skill items, or you need mobs to increase or decrease their defense in correlation to your current magic skill. So it basically works the same as H2H skill would, but without the effects from attack gear. It's surprising they didn't make MAB affect physical traits in place of straight attack gear.

At least this is the conclusion i've came to.

[Battosi]

Maybe stormos, I'll try after Dynamis, as of now Im 94/94. I have every single spell. Im gonna test for shit like double attack and triple attack now...

Edit: Just found one, dunno if its new or old news. Frentic rip+ Disseverment= Accuracy bonus job trait

[stormos]

Battosi: When you learned hysterical barrage, what kind of lamia did you learn it from?

As far as I know, there's 2 types of new beastmen(mamool, troll, lamia) and they both give different skills. ie. armored trolls give diamond hide, naked trolls give eneration, melee mamool give warmup, mage mamool gives firespit, etc.

[Battosi]

Lamia

[stormos]

Lamia

>.>; so there's only 1 kind of lamia and it gives both skills?
