Blue Mage: Best thread ever

[Battosi]

I was pretty certain blue/thf would be better Joe, but I want to test every aspect of blue. Btw found a new combo for auto refresh and it only cost 9 points. You need 75 to get though. Actinic Burst+Plasma Charge.

That's pretty awesome. Are the stats/spells any good?
By the way, mind giving us the rundown of the power of various spells? It would be a major boon.

[Demetrios]

How feasible do you think a 3-4 BLU/WAR RDM BRD tank PT would be on things like Tiamat? You'd need a organized Diamondhide order of course. Since the spell overwrites itself this seems possible in theory.

Hmm... didn't notice it requires 99 MP to cast. Unless you had a relic horn I doubt there'd be enough MP upkeep so that you'd be able to cast it every 26 seconds.

[Battosi]

Hmm nah deme.. blue is more of a support tank imo not a main tank. And Joe I'm not sure of your question, are you talking about the final 4 weapon skills that make the level 3 skillchains?

Partially, I just want to know the power of certain spells, like plasma charge (is it the same crazy one phuabos get?.) If I make a list mind telling me the power of the spells on it?

[Battosi]

Nope I don't mind and I will answer to the best of my abilities. Make a list and for your first question no, spikes were doing 18-19 dmg.

Plasma Charge + Light of Penance + Voracious Trunk = Auto-Refresh.
2 mp/tick o.o

Anyways the list:
Infrasonics
Hydro Shot (enmity- omg)
Ice Break's Bind
Blood Saber
Memento Mori (Ok so I dont expect you to have this one)
Sandspray
Warm-Up
Amplification
Reactor Cool
Temporal Shift
Light of Peance
Feather Tickle
Diamondhide

I havent heard too much about these and they seem to have potential.

[Russta]

I'm curious about Warm Up too because that adds a lot of evasion to Mamool's when they do it. I'd have just assumed it would be as good but seeing how fucking terrible Feather Barrier is you can never be quite sure.

Light of Penance, Ice Break and Blood Saber all suck from my observations (and that pains me to say because the first took forever to learn). I haven't had any experience with the others listed to comment on.

8MP/tick w/ the 2 mp auto-ref, ballad*2 refresh, should be enough to keep two blu rotating diamondhide decently, enough to mitigate quite a bit of damage.

add vermy and its 9 mp.. 11 tics to recover the diamondhide mp.

800 Death Scissors on kirin with SA+CA, and joe give me like an hour or 2 to test all those spells completely. Nice auto refresh 2 lol

zomg awesome. I was thinking this would be comparable to SMN BPs... just awesome. Once we get stat mods nailed this will be rediculous.

And no prob on the time, take as long as needed to sate our curiosity

800 dmg every 2 minutes versus 508(more if merited) hate free dmg every 48(?) seconds.


smn still wins

SMN is limited to curing between those 48 seconds. BLU isn't. I'm sure theres at least one spell thats decent to use on HNM.

[Battosi]

Fren rip was doing 100-150 NO buffs at all, and I have every spell joe. Death scissors was also doing at least 100dmg no buffs. With double refresh 4x blues spamming 100 dmg every second that dot > smners

Edit: Fren rip is starting to get random, but I've been doing Ram charge nonstop and it does 100-almost 200 dmg without any buffs. Also SA> Any 1shot move ie: Death scissors,Cannon ball, Ram charge, etc all do good dmg like 200-250ish.

That 2mp a tick is a rumor, just tested it and its only 1 MP a tick so you're better off with Antinic burst+ Plasma charge

Only those 2 give auto refresh trait?
