Blue Mage: Best thread ever

[Kyte]

Critical Attack bonus, Critical Defense Bonus, Conserve TP, and Fencer all seem possible.

The last windy looking spell could perhaps be one of the Amphitere moves? Perhaps Reaving Wind I think it's called.

You are correct. I can't find it's mob copy amongst the .DATs yet, but I can definitely confirm it's an Amphiptere technique. So, 90 -> 100% likely to be Reaving Wind. What's left is that if to hope BLU gets the knockback barrier or not.

So its gonna just be an AOE feather tickle when SE gets through with us :/

Knockback barrier would be too fun for SE to leave in place. Pushing mobs to stop spellcasting/melee attacks? lol.

One that's been sitting in the back of my mind but I didn't mention: we'll probably get Occult Acumen at some point.

Doesn't it say it only works with Elemental and Dark spells? I know it could be changed, but it would be completely worthless in any case. >_>

I'm pretty sure I can still gain TP on BLM with a Banish spell, but I'll have to test it when I get home. If so, it probably works with any spell that deals direct damage.

It'd be interesting if something similar worked for BLU- in which our 'magical' spells give us TP. ._. Kinda as incentive to use them. I could see that happening. ._.

I'm fairly sure a BLM/BLU could test the possible effects of Occult Acumen on blue magic easily.

Ah, well there you go. :D

[jimbobsonofgod]

Just tested blm/blu and nada on the occult acumen ....
and that was not just physical but magical blu spells as well.

[Foldypaws]

surprised there's no new voragean spells. Or would those show up only with the Monday update?

[darkepyon]

I don't think there are any, as the only new mobs mentioned on the Heroes site were the Cerb/Hydra/Khim variants. They could give us another spell from the existing ones, but somehow I doubt that for this update.

Well, there shouldn't be any new Vorageans. The current four cover all elements. Likely we'll encounter all four types in the new zones.

Hmm, Point on the current 4 filling out the elements. Those T2 elementals could also be the Abyssea only mobs for the new zones.

i'm presuming there only going to 90, so i'm hoping there are at least 5 more mob families to come out from 90-99 BLU needs more types to learn spells from, or magical spells you don't have to super gear for just to see some form of damage that justifies using it in the first place :/

Out of curiosity/wanting to try it, could you post what you were wearing?

[Mercilessturtle]

If you're just spamming regurg, use noxious fang instead of a MAB atma.

Nothing special:

Rings: +7int and Omega
Neck: Philomath

Ofc Naptune's Staff not sword and INT ammo not Mavi's.

I also had spell set for yellow so could easily pull much higher numbers with better gear/spells/atmas
