Blue Mage: Best thread ever

[Kyte]

Only part that particularly bothers me are the pants- had they not been tayts and more like shalwar they could have covered the top portion of the boots.

i presume that was there terribad plan from the start! crazy jps

[Atoreis]

I like the body (but im galka and now in af2 body + af3 pants I hardly can look at myself and af3 body looks like it wont make my ass looks like airstrip). I wouldnt be that sure that you wont wear full set sometimes. If the set bonus is really wsc x3 (and proc rate will eb around 10% with full set) and body and hands will have some decent +stats for physical spells then I would sacrifice some lol +3str +2vit for example on feet for 10% proc on wscx3.

It looks better all together I must admit separately I can't stand the boots and head tbh....

[Erics]

I'm loving the way it looks !

[Samonez]

BLU AF3 looks kinda like what the Royal guard or something might wear.


Looks all ceremonial and badass and stuff.

[ronin sparthos]

The stupid shoes ruin it ._.

Oh well, I just hope the new BLU spells are good. Should be due for at least 2 more Voreagan spells.

[Khidir]

boots remind me of paine songstress from FF X-2

just change the boots and you fix the rest

the mavi head looks badass to me I thought I wouldnt like it but then I saw the wings and thought it's kinda awesome like all the Drg sets (damn probrably shouldnt have given them props but oh well)

Holding out of buying specific builds until we get 99 it'd suck to spend all that money on specific stat items then to find out the next best thing is around the corner; and cuchu mantle needs a competitor (ie higher str + dex stats) I'm still holding out from buying it because I know it's coming lol


Also the next fucked up thing about blu boots is we're still waiting for a magic spell on with physical spell properties(ie low mp cost, point cost,etc.) but it still makes a good sanguine piece

[Atoreis]

I think you underestimate Regurgitation. I agree you can just zerg the mob with physical etc. but if you already want to do something else Regurgitation is pretty badass. Lets say you lowman Sobek and you are there blue already for !!. With march and haste recast on Reg is ~12sec. Sobek has pretty good DEF (or partial pdt) so physical spells arent really efficiency on top of giving a lot TP and Tyrant tusk procign death can be a problem in lowman. With good build Reg will be doing about 1k+(more with Ascetic I think) ever 12 sec on Sobek and you can spam head but within 12 sec recast.

1k? I missed the memo whats the setup that can do that lol...

Also due the other half of empty mob spells, but whether that happens next cap or 95/99 who knows? So there's cravers, thinkers, and seethers left, thinking best case scenario would be Empty Thrash, Negative Whirl and Occultation (lol yeah right), more realistically there will be a 3/2 split of physical and magic this time, probably 3 magical. As to which, no clue, any of em could be good or bad depending on the #s.

[Vriska]

So, let's have some guesses on what we'll get.

I'm a pessimist so I'm naturally assuming more M.Acc and other mage stats on the hands like the useless and ugly feet. On the more positive end of the scale, a decent amount of Haste would blow me away but that seems unlikely.

Body, I'm gonna be REALLY depressing and say the words you didn' want to hear: Monster Correlation. Oh yes. :/ Refresh effect and at least 3% Haste would about make my year though.

[Sho]

4-5% Haste on hands no sweat (maybe Refresh as well). Body would get something insane like 10~12 STR/DEX/VIT and +20/25 Blue Magic Skill, then one or the other would buff whatever new JA we get near level 90. Can no longer be a pessimist after the madness they gave us for Head/Legs/Feet.

[Vriska]

I wasn't really impressed with the feet. :s Then again I never really venture to the magical side of the job. :/

[ronin sparthos]

Regurgitation is a pretty handy spell but I haven't used it in Abyssea - any idea how good/bad it is now? With Atma I am sure that some impressive numbers can be put out for little to no enmity but just how high?

[Draylo]

Honestly.. damage isn't much of an issue on almost everything in abyssea. Shit dies so fast/easily that you spend most of the time proccing red/blue/yellow !! and not caring about dmg.

[arus2001]

Guess I'm curious about a properly built Regurg, too. I can get around 400 just dicking around with some INT/MATK swaps trying to trigger stuff when Watersday is in range, but this is also just with swords on. Think I saw someone mention dropping 1k ones on Sobek every 12s.
