Blue Mage: Best thread ever

[Takiwaki]

does anyone know if you have to finish casting wearing all pieces for it to activate, or can start casting and then swap out?

[Foldypaws]

If I were to guess, I'd say you have to finish casting in it, but I don't have *any* BLU +2 and don't have immediate intent to obtain any.

Augment is double damage on spells I think, not sure. My average QC on IT abyssea mobs w/o CA/Efflux is around ~1.5k, spiked up to 3-3.5k once in a blue moon.

[montgomery]

Hmm, hard to imagine giving up the Alky / Heafoc and the few points of str in the foot slot for the bonus.. but it could lead to some nice numbers from time to time.

[Kegsay]

I asked this same question a few pages back, my reply which I do recall seeing was:

low proc rate on 2-3x multiplier on 2nd modifier/s on spells ( Like Chain Affinity ).

[macross]

Doesn't sound too great, cept for the once in a while wooohoo screenshots I guess. With my luck, it will proc on head butt.

[Sho]

That does seem about right. I've landed the odd 4-5k dmg Quad on mobs here and there. (@2/5 +2)

Also I wouldn't discount the full set until someone finishes any of the full +2 sets and uploads data on it. It seems the armor works in line with WoTG armor... so the bonus might jump from 1~5% with a few pieces to 30~40% with the set.

So abyssea page lists Seedspray as a yellow trigger for earth...it's not an earth spell or even magical. Can anyone confirm/deny it's right?

[Clash Perez]

I petition for a change to the thread's title.

Blue Mage: Job Findings - Yes, it's Seedspray.

[fredjanx]

So.... now that brews only cost 200k cruor with the required stuff.
What are y'all planning on using while you're in god mode?
I myself am planning to do CASAEF Vanity Dive and then vorpal blade spam..... once I get my last titles and beat shinryu -.-

Can confirm. one of our blus recently triggered with seedspray.

[macross]

yes seed triggers. Waste to do stuff solo with brew, need to trigger to get full drops.
Spent 5m cruror, got all the twilight drops last night hehe.

[Alkar]

So.. what are the chances that Mighty Guard may be used by something that isn't Shinryu? ><
SE trolled us big time with the Iron Giants.

[Draylo]

Maybe it will be one of our "ultimate" type spells like blm getting meteor and stuff? Weird of them to not give it to iron giants though ;/ Would be nice if we got a self shell/protect spell or something similar.

[macross]

the gears znm has mightyguard too.

[Kyte]

They said a while back that they had some intentions of giving us spells from HNM-type families. I wasn't really expecting to get any until 90+, or even 95+.

Magma Hoplon ftw.

Now sure how Spike Flail would work. Maybe it could be casted like a self buff, and then when you're attacked when your back is facing the mob, then the spell triggers like a counter effect?

Isn't Sub-Zero Smash a Flail type move?

[Sylvrdragon]

I think we'd be more likely to get Flame Breath from Faffy than Flail. Hoplon would be sweet; we're overdue for a new tier of Stoneskin.

[Alkar]

According to wiki that move is called "Heavy Armature". I've never fought those so I can't really know more than this lol.
I suppose going in with BLU+WHM, waiting for Mighty Guard and then popping brew could be an easy solution.
Still hoping for something cool like Shockwave Pulsar
And yes, a nice Stoneskin that doesn't cost tons of MP and doesn't suck would be a welcome addition. After Occultation I'm actually expecting one.
And fix 1000 needles <.< Or at least change trigger spells around so I don't have to select atmas exclusively to land it.
