Blue Mage: Best thread ever

[Tarukiss]

I'm going to try to test today how much the AF Head increases the monster correlation bonus. I'll get back here with results.

Somewhat tangent to this topic, does anyone know of any mob correlations for sea critters? With BLUs soloing and farming in sea for organs/spells/etc this info would might be relevant to their interests.

It was posted a few pages back. The mechanic and living sea mobs both beat each other (ie, pots+ghrah vs everything else).

[Demitrius]

Yeah, it's Luminians <> Luminions. If nothing else, you can tell the difference by looking at the mob family listed on the spell.

Any one merit/cap Magical Accuracy yet? I know Gulkeeva did... and that her Accuracy of certain spells jumped-- Chaotic Eye (on Imps, damn near impossible to land in the first place on these mobs), Heat Breath, Sheep Song, Soporific, and MP Drainkiss. @1/5, but I want another opinion before I fling exp at it. Monster Correlation seems useful tho... kinda.

Still soorta fails on HNM, atleast not as much, if you look at the KI post about "blue mage endgame" i posted just about every debuff you cna land on Hope (as blu/thf) which worked very well unless it turned while casting (which mostly gives "no effect"

I'd say 1/3 chance landing stuff which stayed on for awhile with the exception on enevrvation (troll ability) which was short anyway. I'll repost pic here

Stuff...

How does that fail? I wish I had a 1/3 chance to land enfeebles on a Jailer with fully merited enfeebling skill with an additional +47 skill from items heaped on top of it. ;_;

I wish I could Paralyze Cerebus too.

[Gulkeeva]

Well we use a 2 tank method and thfs sata the nin on opposite dies to hold hate so it won't plow the blm's (hopefully)... and with this hate swap that can sometimes go crazy as it spams.. or -ga etc... some the spells fail ebcause its not effecting anything ;;

Are you casting with an elemental staff or something else?

my normal gear

Might be considered NSFW o_o
http://www.neko-sentai.com/images/kgear.jpg

was blu/thf

exception of the gear is voyagers sallet and had savage loincloth on (getting intimidated by alot random stuff with crimson on w)

and no didn't use any staff, no brd studes or summoner buffs or corsair buffs or any brd threondy

[ertyu]

lol @ your dat mods >_>

[Not Kuno]

What pants are those? o.O

[Gulkeeva]

What pants are those? o.O

Mithran loincloth, thong edition !

So... I gotta have something to pass time at the 6-8 hours of sky >.>

[Not Kuno]

Oh. Your equipment page looked like some sort of jse subligar that I maybe didnt know about. Also what are your earrings and is that a Cerb mantle? Sorry for all the questions Im 74 and not to sure what to get atm. Having no real choise of pants is kinda sucky and I'm tempted to do Brutal/Suppa for earrings.

femina sublingar, cerberus mantle, warewolf belt, supananomi thing, and loquiruious whatever earing

its a edited femina sublingar.. so looks odd in the pic

K so basically you're saying they fail when you didnt even use the correct gear with them, and still came out with decent results.

fail as in "no effect" which means 100% will not work no matter what your wearing.

as for the somewhere near 1/3 chance to land some, I don't think gear would help since its like... HNM and intended to be somewhat resistant no matter how much you got on you. especially cerberus, bad breath was like 1/5 chance to land para, mostly jsut poison, gravity bind. Elemental seal bad breath is pretty much 100% land everything possible (cept never saw a silence wears off message)

and as far as I know staff enahnces "potency" not accuacy >.>

isn't like thers any +magic accurayc gear for blu to be randomly wearing to help cept possibly MND gear since all int seems to do is boost damage.

Might test it sometime on HNM sometime but that may be awhile, since I can't really test bad breath n bunnies to see proc rate etc

Staves typically enhance both

Homam head and nashira all over have MAcc.

Assuming they work the same as they do for all other jobs, staves have a massive effect on spell accuracy as well as potency. I am given to understand this is the case for blu magic too. Hence why bards use staves for everything, as well as blms whms rdms - half the spells dont really have any way to be more "potent" - for example, elegy is a static slow, all sleeps are static duration (unless resisted), etc.

It would be like a RDM enfeebling Jailer of Hope with Joyeuse equipped.
