Blue Mage: Best thread ever

I get something like 3 HP for each point of MND I add, but wearing the jubbah or not doesn't effect it

So it's probably like (Level*Something)+(MND*3) or Base+(MND*Something)

[Celeras]

Something = healing magic

its gotta be in the equation somewhere ;x

K so I took a few screen shots of the effects of Aweful Eye and Cyclone Claw.

I started by casting cyclone claw on a mob targeted behind me, while facing another.

Both mobs recieved the effect of the spell

as was expected.

Next I tried it with Aweful Eye. Once again, targeting the mob behind me while directly facing another.

Same result: Both mobs affected.


To answer the question: How did I aggro a mob that was behind me with Aweful Eye?

Crack pipe maybe? Maybe you were turned at a weird angle, or maybe it was a glitch, but either way, if this did in fact happen, it is not something that happens when the spell works as it should.
Casting Aweful Eye on the mobs you are directly facing will only cause the spell to affect mobs in front of you. Mobs behind you are not affected.

Yeah, MND is a bigger boost, use the +5MND Promice Badge. The benefit of subbing WHM is you get a ton of +healing magic so it has a noticeable effect and you get about +6 MND as well. And divine seal works as well.

My question is... and this is fairly rethorical why does Light Staff affects Healing Breeze... it's a damn Wind spell (i know it has cure potency but still) <_<. which just reminded me that i haven't tried it out with Wind staff yet.. even though i been 7 levels since i can use it. Anyone else tested that?

Because Healing Breeze is a spell that cures people and Light Staff enhances the potency of cure spells?

Also Mr. Semantics, questions, rhetorical or not, usually end with a question mark.

Immortal's Earring... anyone figure out how to activate the Latent? (+5 Blue Magic Skill) >.> Heh, haven't found any info on my server (It seems like I'm the only BLU that does ENM60 regularly...), and no record on the AH... bah.

well you missed the point. I'm baffled by why did SE make Healing Breeze a wind spell. Does wind affect it in any way? maybe wind staff maybe wind obi?

Anyways ya, Healing Breeze is a Cure Spell, so it gains the + effects of the Light Staff. It's wind based because it was 10 times outta 10 coded in as a wind based spell on Dhamels ("Breeze" = "Wind", duh D: ). I doubt +Wind Gear outside of Wind Obi will affect it.

Highest possible I heard was about 540? Magic fruit and 230-250? Healing wind with a MND setup

Man I don't even know if I would want to level BLU. I would have to macro swap almost everything for each spell haha. Shit would be worse than RDM. Hell BRD is annoying enough for the instruments, CHR gear, skill gear, staves, MP recovery, etc for macros. I can't see how I dealt with not having windower macros back in the day.

I havent had to macro swap at all yet. With AF body I finally will have to, but really, due to the fact that you have to limit your spell selection you can live without a ton of macro swaps.
You'll eventually need a TP, MND/Healing, Phys Blue Multihit, Phys Blue Single hit. Maybe someday a CHR or INT build if it ends up worthwhile. There will be a lot of gear overlap between TP, Blue Multihit, and Blue Single hit. Then Defense for cannonball...oh well there is a lot SOWHAT.

I think as most do gearup to do 1 thing and 1 thing only when going to HNM, exp etc not carry multiple mass sets.. so once you go as somethings its easy to do my macro only changes like... 2 things head/and body XD

verm <-> af body + voyager salet.. thats like it

[Celeras]

I only use healing/mnd and DD palletes as their own macro. If im healing, I hit the healing gear macro and im done. If im DDing, i hit the DD macro(base melee gear), then each DD spell will have its own equip swaps macro'ed into the spell. Like Snipers/SH for disseverment instead of af body and str rings with cannonball. (since acc > all with the multihits, and skill doesnt help)

Thats really all I see the need to do. Its not bad at all.
