Blue Mage: Best thread ever

[Khidir]

not completely, doesn't always work with cfh mobs

[Yugl]

What?

[Khidir]

if you had a mob that was cfh'd on and everyone use a conflux to get away it doesn't go back to yellow necessarily, like zoning out should

[Yugl]

We're talking about resetting spells, not making a mob go yellow.

[Khidir]

i was making a parallel to the conflux having the zoning properties you mentioned

[Draylo]

It's not a complete zone. If you zone something with flux, sometimes it will run across the entire zone to get to you... (Lord Varney) or it will go white halfway, or go white the moment you flux. It's pretty weird.

[Khidir]

something wierd as well, hit delta thrust instead of dreamflower by accident and tried to sleep the mob, didnt work i guess plague keeps the mob awake?

edit: yeah has something that can dot the mob to death got a falls to the ground message after a pause between sword swings

What do you mean? It's TP and MP DOT.

[Khidir]

i'm saying it killed a mob when i had no other dots put on it and got a falls to the ground message

[Draylo]

Then you missed something because that isn't possible. I was doing frogs for 3 hours+ today in mis coast while farming Masamune for LS. I always started my pull by delta thrusting a frog and running him around. After I gathered them all up, I dream flowered and there was no problems sleeping every single one. No idea why this deserves a lengthy response but its pretty obvious you missed something.

Maybe za Disseverment.

So I just encountered something weird when spell hunting. I just learned Wind of Promyvion from a Thinker that never used the ability.

Is this a known issue? I have screenshots to verify.

[Yugl]

Did you have filters? It is a self-buff move.

[Jeryhn]

I saw all the other instances of the move, no gear swaps were involved either, plus all the "ready" lines of chat.

I dunno, I'm just glad I don't have to fuck around with Thinkers anymore.

RE: Khidir and Flux + Setting spells,

Just tried this in Abyssea Altepa and it didn't work

Even with filters I will sometimes not see a mob readying a move that targets itself in my chatlog for whatever reason.

Ok so I haven't really used BLU at all since Heroes came out, thinking about gearing it up again but I'm not sure how all of the new spells fare since I haven't had much chance to use it, so I was curious what some of your guys normal spellsets look like for just normal DDing. I know Delta Thrust is apparently really awesome due to the plague effect(not sure about it's damage but it has pretty decent mods so I assume well) but I'm not sure how the others would fit in without personal experience yet.

[Yugl]

Delta thrust is amazing if you can fit it. Nightfyre should have spellsets up to date on his FFXIAH profile.

[Cleverness]

Apparently he does, that saved me alot of time thanks lol

[Darkmagi]

Pretty much blu retarded, what would be the best offhand for an almace blu? I'm thinking it would be between double attack +10% and str/atk? Also is evasion tanking worth considering for blu at all now, or just stick to standard melee/pdt as needed? I figured it would be better to ask here than the random question thread.

[Draylo]

Evasion isn't needed for tanking in abyssea with a healer, outside it is nice for soloing few things. I normally tank /nin and have fast cast/actinic burst for getting ichi up. I would honestly go with a STR sword. Nobody here seems to have mathed it out but I believe overall it will be better for spells and melee/ws than a DA which only benefits sword.
