Blue Mage: Best thread ever

[Belgaer]

Well I have Brutal Earring. And I use it. lol I dunno why I've got that in my TP build Item Set. Changing it now. I'm working on Perdu Hanger, but I'm having trouble getting a group for ranks. Every time I get a group going, people flake out. x.x So that'll take a while.

As for Balm Sachet and Tiphia Sting, wouldn't I lose TP everytime I switch, defeating the point? >.>

EDIT: Ah... just read on Wiki swapping ammo doesn't affect TP.. o.O I never knew that...

Get 3 blus with full diffusion merit and make them put in Warm-Up! Should get cap or 90% acc! >___________>

Let endless debating begin!

gogo enkidu's harness sidegrade?
wish bllu was added to the mage one

Really the mage one isn't that good looking for BLU imo just because I still use AF body when nuking for the 15 skill, otherwise resists are bad :/

[Ladydeathstrike]

it would be better than af body i would think
when you have monster correlation working for you
or if you get weather and klimaform from a sch

[darkepyon]

You could turn this thing into a mini-homam corazza with the +accuracy and the double attack (assuming you don't already have one of those). I'd probably go for the acc+10 and store TP/subtle blow myself.

I guess you could make a ws piece for vorpal blade (and savage/expiacion as well if you don't have morrigans), or a fast cast piece for casting utsu. Nothing really that great...

I agree, these new armors wont help Blue mage. Maybe a WS peice. AF+1 body for casting still, and the Relic body for TP is still good. If refresh or haste was on that list it would be a different story.

I agree. I currently use Enkidu's Harness for vorpal blade and frankly, this isn't going to be worth it when I could get some delicious double attack on my DRK instead of 10 silly atk.

Ever tested Blue Magic skill over Monster Correlation? Blue Magic is more potent (and both more potent and more accurate for MP Drainkiss).


As for the body piece... I'm not sure what I want to do with it. Do you only get to choose 1 of the body pieces? I'd imagine so, just thought I'd ask. Then again, these body pieces all look ass ugly, imo. It's also a shame you can't just stack the traits. Like do Acc+20 or Double Attack+4% or something like that.

Something, however, to think about, is doing enhanced Dual Wield. Acc+10 and dual wield (or double attack) or Double Attack and Dual Wield. Problem is, that would probably bump us down to 4% per hit with Suppa on too.

Choices, choices!

Using the body to TP in on blu would be retarded, unless they add a refresh option.

Meh, not that I don't agree, but if you like attacking faster (IE: Dual Wield and Double Attack), you could just macro in Mirage below 50% MP or something. Mirage is still going to be ideal for higher level mobs and/or meripo though.


EDIT: I know one thing for sure... Whichever piece I pick, I'm .dat swapping. >_>

assuming resist rates work similiar to black mages, according to kaeko LJ 1 skill = 1 (or .9) macc, and then 1 stat depending on spell like mnd for mind blast and chr for EOM
will be equal to 1 macc until you your stat - mob is 10, then it it is equal to .5 macc
Now to compare to blm 320/120 build w/o using af body or relic head
I have 292 so i am 28 macc out from skill but add back 10 from magic acc merits
and another 5 from morrigan cuffs
so i am missing 13 macc from skill from that build, however i can hit 140-150 mnd or chr so i will have at least 10 macc more from stats, and monster correlation should do the rest

[6souls]

ACC+10 & Fast Cast would make it a nice Big 3 macro piece or hell, just a nice macro piece for all physical spells.

[darkepyon]

I'd be hard-pressed to part with my AF1+1 for any form of casting though.

Mirage Keffiyeh is more accurate, not to mention raises the cap higher, than Magus Keffiyeh. Go experiment. >.>

I doubt I would need more acc than the the accuracy of multi-hit spell gear I am currently aiming. On anything I want to cast multi-hit, if that matter.

[Nicholette]

Adding 5% fastcast and 5 enmity makes it the best blu tanking body for enmity generation/timers on spellcasts and ichi/ni timers/casting. Not an option anyone would necessarily pick but if nothing else appeals to you it's a possibility

[Ethican]

hmm I kinda hope that haste gets added to final list of options. Blue could really use a good haste body. I kinda want it for vorpal ass acc and crit+ .... But somewhere inside I kinda want acc and dual wield. Acc and dual wield would likely be better if you owned tizona than using af2.. prolly not going to be a popular opinion but worth considering.
