Blue Mage: Best thread ever

[Gulkeeva]

To stay soorta on topic I found something odd with blu diamondhide recently.

I remember people saying diamondhide only absorbs like 181? 187? hp (I'd presume by themselves since it was tested with 1000 needles)

Well I was in tank pt fighting lolhydra and was poking at its feet spamming diamondhide. I noticed the "aoe super gravity" that goes through shadows averaged about 220-280 damge everytime it was used. Diamondhide absorbed atleast 2 of these and the 3rd usualy endedup doing about 60-90.

I don't want to wade through all the pages, but the absorbed at 75 was found to be more like 224 I think, but that was before the AF and without blue magic merits, and it's pretty likely it's blue magic skill that determines diamondhide strength. I can't see what little extra skill the AF and what you may have meritted almost tripling diamondhide though.

307 blue magic skill (but I was mostly wearing verm to cast since my brd was afraid to go near Hydra and my rdm was busy raping people in LS chat verbally) /poke dj

anyway Yeah I was finding it odd that it could absorb so much. It seemed to last a little less on the nin (probably from being hit) no other melee in my PT to really know how much less of a stoneskin they had if any from mine. I probably should of taken pics of the attacks on stoneskin but was already soorta lagging with VRS up and with fraps+filters off probably been bad anyway (wanted to take a video near the end )

If you can MB Eyes on me for 900 damage in EXP gear (read: NO MAB, NO STAFF, NO CHR) at level 64, you are doing BETTER MB damage than BLMs at that level.

You can't. Level 75 WITH Memento Mori, MAB trait, pluto staff, 86 CHR, 5MAB earring and Eyes does ~630 on tahrongi mandy. Lose Memento Mori, a couple CHR and the staff and your damage is under 500.

Yes CHR or some stat on Errant/Mahatma I was swapping had a huge bonus on it, almost 4 damage per point, so with 140 CHR, novio, ugglephi pendant, pluto, moldavite, memento mori, MAB trait, I would guess a BLU could get mid 900s non-burst with it at 75 on a level 1 rabbit in ronfaure. On darksday you could break 1k. BAM! Dead rabbit.

So how come Celeras is claiming to have done 900 to IT @ 63ish?

I could test that if someone would ever help me with that spell. ;;

Anyone know if Stone Gorget effects Metallic Body and/or Diamonhide?

More than likely it'll effect both, since they both give Stoneskin, rather than unique buffs. However, you probably still need to be the one who casts the spell to get the enhancement (which is why Stoneskin is not enhanced when a Titan puts Earthen Ward on you).

If the Stone Gorget effects the damage absorption of Diamondhide for everyone in your party, I'd definitely going to be riding on the coattails of BLUs trying to get this item to lot on memospheres. ^-')b

Does anyone have experience with using the stone gorget + diamondhide yet?

...you can solo Eyes on Me easily. Just head to xarca.

[Tonko]

You need Mimento Mori Kuno? I can come out on my RDM/NIN and duo Corses with you in Attohwa if you need it.

Just make sure you set a sleepy time spell. I'd hate to rape face if I got charmed (or get my face raped.)

Or the weaker Floating Eyes that pop in Ranguemont Pass.

You can't solo this spell in Xarcabard? I got it around the time I could equip the spell...

If its Momento Mori wwww . . . yeah that's one of those spells I conveniently skipped over for later learning :3

[Not Kuno]

No the spell I was talking about was Memento Mori. I got Eyes on Me near the Bcd Outpost.

[Popsiclestick]

I'm curious, how does Momento Mori compare to Amplification ? Same MAB?

[Gulkeeva]

I'm curious, how does Momento Mori compare to Amplification ? Same MAB?

Amplification +10MAB
Momento Mori +20MAB

[Priran]

I'm curious, how does Momento Mori compare to Amplification ? Same MAB?

Memento Mori is 20, Amplification is 10.

[Delekii]

Ive MBed Eyes on Me for 900 in exp before, on processionaires if I remember correctly.

You can't.

I can only go off what I read :/

I can answer this in seven levels if someone doesn't beat me to it in the meantime.

Maybe try metalolic body in the meantime.

[Gulkeeva]

Tried metalic body between timers so I can hopefully stay alive, wouldn't even last 1 "aoe gravity" attack, took like 60-100~+ damage from it, diahide was absorbing a ton more.

Was using no +int/mnd gear, normal melee gear and a dissector

So how come Celeras is claiming to have done 900 to IT @ 63ish?

Because they were Magic Bursts? Nice reading comprehension.

I meant with stone gorget... >_>

So you're saying that you get a 50% (or more) damage enhancement from a Magic Burst with Eyes On Me?

Im saying that I did 800-900 MBing on processionaires while exping.
