Blue Mage: Best thread ever

[Celeras]

On a completely different note, anyone else notice any magical spells bypassing magic barrier? I don't know if it's a wind thing or what, but got Chaotic Eye and Frightful Roar to land on magic pots in sky after they had used magic barrier. Just to be sure I tried again making sure I timed them about 5 seconds after they used it so I knew I wasn't landing right before barrier, and not so long that it might have worn off.

I had also noticed before that while staves help magical spells, it seemed I got more resists doing Frightful Roar with Auster's than with sword. Is this a glitch maybe, and the game considers it physical? Would explain it landing despite magic barrier.

I wouldnt be able to stick roar on tiamat with 0 staff skill if it was considered physical.

Good point. So we're back to magical spells that land despite magic barrier.

On a similar note. Ever try to use Voracious Trunk on Sea pots? You get the ability but since it isn't dispellable, the pot still has reactor cool. Anyone else try and other non-dispellable stuff?

[Celeras]

Can you Voracious Trunk your food back from a Colibri? ;O

[Tonko]

Theoretically it might work, but VT is wind based. So are Colibri.

[Falconblade]

I tried that; No Dice.
I think its because they dont get the effect, just remove yours.
Can tell by eating a taco then having a colibri eat it. His def wont change.

So disseverments poison isnt 100% proc? Popped it on an enkelados placeholder while running to alky, took it to 1% and it never died. I was so distraught, I stood there and let it whack me till I was in red hp before finishing it off.

I thought maybe it was just a big 1%

Its like 90%, like head butt.

Taken Damage Spikes from Walmoura in Beseiged, and they still keep it.

Nothing is 100% proc (certain) in this game. Well minus NM drops.

Headbutt is far from 90% proc.

Personally, I think its based on physical acc. Its the only way to explain why SA HeadButt is 100% stun. If it was just about the spell landing, SA wouldnt do anything. I think once the spell lands, theres another check on your acc to see if the proc will as well. SA ensures a "full hit".

[Tonko]

Possible it's a BLU magic check? Possibly a normal resist check that's done on any form of magic skill?

I've only noticed the 'stun" from headbutt not working on HNM type stuff (even when you hit for 0, or use sa and do about 100ish).

Normal exp mobs.. if you hit, your stunning. I have capped blue magic and usualy swap in AF to do my spells though XD

My only accuracy is from... sushi >.>

[Not Kuno]

I've had stun not land on magic resistant mobs in xp parties. Most notibly when a eye was casting sleepga2 and headbutt got off but it never stunned. >.<

You've SA'ed HeadButt and stun didnt proc? I cant share the same experiences, its always landed for me with SA, and ive heard people using it on kirin in rotation for hax kills.

If thats indeed the case, that it doesnt proc every SA, then that'd be enough to prove me wrong. But as far as ive tested, it does.

Good example is like Omega and ultima.. sa headbutt is most definantly not always 100% on him even with sa. I'd say near 75-90%ish range

[FFXIFlux]

I've had headbutt not stun on XP mobs every so often. It will usually stun, but not always, and it won't always land either. I've had way way way too weaks get a "no effect" where the headbutt itself didn't even land, lol.

If its not affected, then why sa headbutt at all?

What kind of numbers do WHM/BLU pull with Healing Breeze?
