Blue Mage: Best thread ever

[Foldypaws]

Fuck, I can't land 1000k needles even with BA + light staff + full skill/macc gear and a superior MAcc atma ~_~

[Tortalius]

Does It work with elemental seal?

With regards to HNM spells, BLU is owed a petrify spell somewhere. Fossilizing Breath?

Behemoth is such an unremarkable "HNM", it'd be hard to pick a TP move that wasn't already done. Ecliptic Meteor would be nice but that's a Hadhayosh only thing.

Id take the eye laser attack from Ironclads and call it a day. Pew pew goes the eye lasers.

White Wind is also one of those "wtf why not" spells.

off the top of my head the only 5 i can think of are Mighty guard, White wind, Metra magic, Goblin punch (goblin rush i guess) and Chocobo kick

White Wind has always been blue magic in FF history, I don't see why they would drop it suddenly. I was surprised back when the original spells came out it wasn't there. It would make sense to give us an AoE healing spell, bout' that time. Healing Breeze 2.0?

Also, forgive is this is old news- but I absolutely LOVE having Delta Thrust be only 28 MP. It can dish out some decent numbers for it's cost.

[Foldypaws]

And the fact that it's got a casting range of 7' means that if I blink the casting, I can throw it on mobs while kiting them without letting them get a swing in on me XD

i have to say the same MM makes it free by the time i can use it again i'm getting about 800+ dmg with VV RR MM need more gear to see if i can push it 1k

so I was playing around with the set bonus and magic spells a bit more last night. did a 4400 CW unbuffed no ba at one point, I still don't know if its worth it to be casting in full af+2 =\. also one thing i did notice is that there seems to be some cap on EG or there is some check on enemy hp. With ultimate minikin and cosmos I was able to constantly push 5k plus EGs but even with drinks max convergence and 2hr i just couldnt get it to pass 6k, close but just couldnt. I also notice it does alot less dmg to too weak mobs, under 1k. while CW will do 2k+

also to note with that atma set up sanguine is doing 2500+

and occultation is almost like a third utsu its great imo, definitely changing the way i play blu and subbing for certain events.

Im actually thinking of doing 2 mab +10 swords lol, not having to swap to staffs . . .

I have thought the same thing lol

[azagarth]

they are so easy to do why not? I plan to do them soon myself, I was thinking of it back at 85 just because amber can be a bitch sometimes (1% mobs f that).

Small update on Occultation; it increases in potency with blue magic skill, and gains another shadow at 400 skill for a total of 8.

good god! . . goodbye /nin (well for most things lol)

Oh man, I totally called it!

[Sylvrdragon]

Still costs too goddamn much to use outside of Abyssea.

[Sagacious Sundi]

Aqua Breath, which I guess is quite likely with the promise of HNM spells.

White Wind, Aqua Breath and Mighty Guard all confuse me as to why the hell we don't have them. Blaster was also a sort-of staple, along with Lifebreak (or "???" in some games), but that (along with Angel Whisper, the other "staple" Blue Magic I want) doesn't seem to exist in FFXI.

Do shadows increase the same as skill tiers? How many shadows might we expect at capped skill at level 99?

Probably because you are using a staff instead of a sword, since physical accuracy effects it. Even Seedsprays' accuracy plummets when I cast it with a staff.
