Blue Mage: Best thread ever

[Villian]

Curious about CDC gears for inside and outside abyssea, mostly looking at body. Mirke with 5% crit rate vs loki, thinking mirke outside?

[doctorugh]

How would you go about getting 5% on Mirke?

[Villian]

Whoops was up late last night. Meant 3% crit rate with 10 attack.

When I first asked that while ago, pretty sure nighfyre said that loki's wins in and out of abyssea.

[doctorugh]

I'm coming up with a very slight advantage (like 0.3%) to Loki outside abyssea, if fSTR is a factor.

BLU Charged Whiskers Calculator.

Thanks.

Seems MAB isn't factoring into the damage at all on the spreadsheet. Whether I enter 0, 136, or 9999, my total damage remains the same.

[Yugl]

Go to box A15 (Should be where MAB% is) and put =C2/B4

Probably should've asked this here first instead of the random question thread. But oh well. What are some common blu spell setups? Here's mine for DD i guess. I keep running into a problem of not maxing points and seeing as how i change from this setup to a charged whisker setup for cleaving it happens a lot >< I'm quite new to blu so that's where my problem comes in. Constantly forgetting what i should actually have in my main spellset and whisker set. My charged whisker spellset probably isn't up to it's full potential either since i mostly just pick random spells after the basic ones. (whikser, occultation, memento, enervation, actnic burst, winds of promyvion, whirl of rage, headbutt, thermal pulse and dream flower) so any help on that set would be great as well.

as blu/rdm so that's why i have the dual wield setup 50/55 with this set. and when i'm /nin even more points left unspent. Any help would be appreciated.

Head Butt
Disseverment
Goblin Rush
Whirl of Rage
Quadratic Continuum
Delta Thrust
Blazing Bound
Animating Wail
Occultation
Cocoon
Actnic Burst
Plenilune Embrace
Battery Charge
Winds of Promyvion
Dream Flower

forgot cannonball so that's 53/55 Still wanna know if i'm doing it all wrong though. which i probably am.

[arus2001]

I use Head Butt, Disseverment, Quad. Cont., Goblin Rush, Battery Charge, Benthic Typhoon, Magic Fruit, Whirl of Rage, Vanity Dive, Actinic Burst, Winds of Promy., Animating Wail, Acrid Stream, Dream Flower, and the last few points could be Fantod and Delta Thrust, Triumphant Roar and Cocoon, or some other little niche need. Either way, I get DA, Auto-Refresh, Acc Bonus, SC Bonus, some DW if not /NIN, and a rounded build of offensive and defensive spells.

Cannoball's pretty much dead. If for some reason I need to SATA a spell, it's BT. Some like VD, but I never got it as high. Someone doing a CW build would be different than the above, too. When it comes time to grellow whore, I first trim AB, AS, other spells depending on the mob. Some I might be better off leaving WoP on, while others don't need it.

Woot Doctorugh is here!

Also, thank you for the Charged Whisker spread sheet! That is going to become very helpful for me.

---

My set spells vary so much it's hard to say what my "standard set" is, but if I had to choose (/NIN):

Head Butt
Delta Thrust (Spammed.)
Quad Cont. (CA/EF)

Acrid Stream
Empty Thrash (Double Attack)

Fantod
Tail Slap (Store TP 1)

Auroral Drape
Sub Zero Smash (Fast Cast 1)

Screwdriver
Occulation (Evasion Bonus 1)

Winds of Promy/Plasma Charge
Actnic Burst (Auto-Refresh)

Animating Wail
Magic Fruit
Battery Charge
Spell Slot Reserved for Proc spell/Something else.


This is what I use for mainly low manning in Abyssea and Dynamis. If I used a pure DD setup it will change accordingly.

Updated previous post with correction to MAB (Thanks to Heretic).

[Tashan]

Yugl, can I get your permission to upload the spreadsheet to Google Docs?

I want to share it online with a friend in a read-only format.

[Yugl]
