Blue Mage: Best thread ever

[ronin sparthos]

Having done somewhere in the region of 20-30 Dragua I have yet to see a single coin drop. I've even seen it drop 0 cards with a yellow trigger once :/

The lack of cards is a known issue and is supposed to be fixed soon.

What's the general consensus on the best trio of atma for Charged Whisker burning?

Minikin, RR, Ultimate, Lion, and Blinding Horn all seem like viable options, but I haven't played around with the spell enough to get a feel for it.

[Kaslo]

I would think MM Beyond Ultimate

[Clash Perez]

MAB+30 vs DMG+30%? Beyond shouldn't beat out either Lion or Blinding Horn.

[dem0nfr0g]

Blinding Horn/Lion/Ultimate with mediocre gear was getting me ~ 4.5k on an AoE burn w/ BA up. I certainly am not the best equipped BLU, and this was in Tahrongi so I didn't have epic +INT/DEX crour numbers.

[Kaslo]

Oh yeah whisker only, then yeah lion, thinking magic in general.

Isn't that amount of damage what caused stuff to instantly die in some FF game?

Not sure, I know in FF7 if you got a character to 7777 HP then they entered a berserk mode where they attack super fast and deal 7777 dmg each hit

I know there is probably no hidden thing like that in ffxi but I will need to try and set 7777max hp :D

Going back to Charged Whisker -

Is there any rule-of-thumb for comparison of DEX/INT/MAB gear?

My mathology isn't as strong as I would like.

MAB > DEX > INT

[Foldypaws]

MAB > DEX > INT

That's with BA up.

Without BA, it's MAB > INT > DEX. (Though it's at the ~1 INT = 1.1 DEX level, so it's not the /worst/ idea to use the same gear for both, just not optimal.)

[Clash Perez]

Thanks.

Any general numerical relationship between DEX and MAB during Burst Affinity? Roughly equivalent?

[Foldypaws]

Not really. The int and dex terms are additive, so you can establish a comparison. MAB is multiplicative of both, so how good it is depends on how much MAB and how much INT/DEX you have. MAB is worth at least 1 dex during BA, possibly up to 2.

[Draylo]

Didn't someone say that Blinding horn and Lion don't really do much together or do they ?

[|Heretic|]

What's the best spell setup for charged whisker AoE-ing?

[Atoreis]

If set bonus is WSCx3 what exactly happening when it proc on Chain Affinity? Its then WSCx4 or its overwritten and its only x3 or maybe its multiply and x6?

EDIT: Tested its x4

[doctorugh]

Anyone else coming up with proc rate % on Occ. Augments Blue damage? I did 1000 feather storms and only came up with 2.4% proc with 4 +2 pieces. This seems very low in comparison to wiki info.

[Kegsay]

I was under the impression it was 1% increments:
1 piece: 0%
2 piece: 1%
3 piece: 2%
4 piece: 3%
5 piece: 4%

This roughly fits what you've got, the expected value being 3%.

5 pieces: 5%. With the sets that have easily tested bonuses, (RDM, BRD) going from 4-5 is twice as much as any of the other boosts, no reason to assume BLU is different.

[Atoreis]

Wiki still have info of PLD set giving
2: 10%
3: 15%
4: 20%
5: 25%
at least now with verification tag after I called it bullshit lol
