Blue Mage: Best thread ever

[Tidane]

Do you guys not arrange your blu list in such a way the general spells that get slotted are all arranged together?

I don't (and I also don't like manually sorting my spells). I think it is silly that a feature that is so simple to implement has been ignored for this long, but that's Squeenix.

As far as subs go: I started out on /DNC, didn't like it because I needed more DD for higher bayld, swapped to /RDM, got bored and went back to /DNC and that's been netting me at least just as much bayld (if not more) since the update to healing returns. I've tried /WAR a few times and really enjoyed it, but the lack of a native sneak/invis option has me leaning toward other options, even if they aren't as fun. lol

Also been going as /RDM, just for Sneak and Invisible (and maybe Aquaveil if I'm soloing a reive). I'd much rather use another support job, but I can't justify spending money to Sneak/Invisible between reives. Would be nice if they made a self-cast all jobs ability for Sneak/Invisible.

Was anyone else extremely disappointed to see job adjustments without any mention of blue magic (generally, when there's new content/mobs and job adjustments, blue magic is added)? I got my hopes up, only to have them crashing down. Maybe next update.... ._.

I have absolutely no idea why I thought I'd even see the word Blue in the update notes, but I guess a part of me really thought that they would deliver something.

Na Its a month in update I expect spells hopefully in the next major update when they release RUN/GEO AF/Relic gear and mythic weapons if they stay similar to the past. updates.

Somewhat happy with my current TP set of Oce head(I really should purchase a +1), Nom, Thaum body/leg/feet, w/ usual gear for the rest. I wasn't able to see a way of maintaining gear-haste cap with Thuran hat though, without something wasteful like setting offhand to my Ephemeron.

Assuming a swap of Str Shikargar, Thaumas feet and Oce. Head: To get the head to work you need to have the Bihkah +1 sword and then go with enif feet. Numbers wise its actually very close on damage (within a percent, slight favor to new setup), but imo theres something to be said for a boost of ~150hp and 2pdt and some additional acc.

[doctorugh]

Hrmm, after looking at the base damage on these new weapons (and high stat values on other eq), our current Blue mage spells will be totally obsolete for damage if they don't radically alter the formula for calculating....

[Prothescar]

the new spells will just be ridiculously good

[doctorugh]

They had damn well better be! And hopefully before most people get the new weapons.

[Mefuki]

With the DMG on those weapons and the damage they're going to be dishing out, I feel like the Unbridled Learning wishlist Prothescar posted a while back went from, "Yeah, that'd be pretty cool.", to downright reasonable.

[Draylo]

Yeah I was a bit sad with no new spells but I'm sure they're coming.

How far back will I have to go to find these?

If you're referring to Prothescar's spell list, it's on the bottom of page 588.

Looks like that new 10% haste belt would be just the ticket also for keeping Str Shika.

Edit: Nevermind.

So....anyone else extremely annoyed about just how much higher the damage in on these swords they added over anything else in the game? Kinda..... wow. So much for Almace. >_> I hear they're adjusting the Lv.99 versions of the relic/mythic/emps, but....that's only the 99s, apparently. /fml

Yeah everyone is with every weapon type

Yeah, I mean I expected that. 2handers have it much better though, considering they have AHable weapons that have extremely high damage now as well. Granted, they'll be expensive as hell, but no more than buying the items to upgrade a relic/mythic/emp...

[Ophannus]

So did they fix m.acc for added effects? There was a note about m.acc vs high level targets in the update.

[dasva]

ah didn't see swd wasn't ahable. That said it isn't clear cut between 2hd 1hd. Like polearm and gkt don't and kat and club do

Fair enough.

It said they fixed it where our macc was higher than intended against higher lvl targets. So I doubt they fixed much lower than expect macc on targets much lower lvl then us
