Blue Mage: Best thread ever

Not utsusemi, but blocking up to 7 attacks is still nice. Some shadows > no shadows.

Anyone actually learned Reaving Wind? Just looking to confirm mob since it's the last spell I need to fetch. And I guess if it is Amphs, if anyone's found baby versions in one of the new zones.

Got it from the Amph in Xarcabard S by the OP.

Had a SCH, and two BLU (the SCH was actually not around though for the second kill) killing Greater ones in xarc. They were actually easier some how than the
lesser ones in the glacier. The glacier ones gave some problems. Anyway, it was actually easy in Xarc.

I'm sorry. I completely disagree with this post. I'd rather NOT have "some shadows" and fight accordingly, than have something cast a flare II on me out of left field then eat dirt cuz i thought i had "some shadows" up.
Complete Fail.

edit: Yes, I routinely read up on this forum, never made an account, its my first post. Yes i made this account JUST to express my deep frustration on Occultation being WTF blink effect. >.< Ghey.

[Ophannus]

A native utsu spell on BLU would make for a very, VERY powerful tank.

[jimbobsonofgod]

as expected no +set points at 90.

[Sylvrdragon]

Has anyone started hunting for Job Traits with the new spells?

It is very fast cast and gives 7 shadows, it's fucking win. It's huge damage mitigation. As for flare II, fucking stun it, you're on goddamned BLU, not NIN, and if you are sub NIN, guess what spell can help you get your ichi up or let you survive long enough to get timers down? Yeah, this one. It's the best spell BLU got this update, only Winds comes close.

Oh, and it's also an option for evasion bonus... goodbye hysteric barrage.

You assume that the mob in question can be stunned.

guess what spell can help me get Ichi up? oh yeah! ofcourse... actinic burst is fucking WIN. now, how much MP was Occultation going to cost me to help me get up Ichi this ONE time of MANY times id have to eventually do it?

You're an idiot. And 2007 wants it's spell back. No one preps actinic.

[Vegetatheprince]

Blu gets 1.5 sec cast blink with 7 shadows...and people aren't happy?

Sorry, I'm sure I'm not understanding.

Wow... I need to see a count of peeps that REALLY dont use Actinic for blu/nin solo outside of Abyssea. Wanna see if this scrubb ^^ is legit.

[Sho]

The spell is a win, even if it's Blink. 7 Shadows and such a fast cast makes for good times. The MP cost is a semi slant, esp if you're pumping out Minikin. Anyways, talk more about the other spells; I can't hunt them atm, because I'm busying spamming other jobs to 90, haha.

I care more about how much damage Charged Whisker and Thermal Pulse are doing- I would like some stronger nukes- and how the fuck Everyone's Grudge works.

[stamos]

Doing about 1.4-1.9k without staves on with Charged whisker on Crapaudy. lol

Thermal is a little weaker, doing 1-1.4k. Overall nice damage from both

I was doing 1k and 1.3k with staves, drink, MAB, gear, nin sub, VV/minikin.

Empty Thrasher was doing a bit more than whirl of rage.

Dream Flower LOOKS like it's a huge area but didn't really test.

Winds of Promy is group erase, fast reuse, making it worth the 5 set points in some situations.

Occultation is funny, 4 shadows to block colibri attack, 5 to block dissevernment etc. Nice and fast cast. Pretty much kills NIN as a sub if you're in an abyssea group and not main tank.

Delta Thrust was sucking hard.

[stamos]

Charged Whisker + Evryone. Grudge = Gilfinder lol

Leafstorm + Reaving wind = Magic burst bonus

Empty Thrash + Acrid Stream = Double attack

Winds of Promy + Actinic Burst or Plasma Charge = Auto refresh

Dream flower seems to fit into the MAB trait set.

Thermal Pulse is part of Attack Bonus trait

Occultation is part of evasion bonus trait.

[Alistaire]

Charged Whisker + Evryone. Grudge = Gilfinder lol

only 1 step away from TH. "Where there's smoke..."
