Ballista-Blue Mage SJs

[Maldra]

Which SJ seems to be most effective in Ballista?

I've tried /nin twice and didn't think the dual wield and shadows helped too much.. would always get ga'd and silenced.

I've tried /thf and love the damage output.. Monks or jobs without shadows up running away is fun to Cannonball them to death. Tav Taco + Cocoon + Protect + Sneak Attack + Cannonball=win My only problem with /thf is I seemed to get raped often...

What are some other SJ that has been tested? Are /rdm or /brd any good? Others?


As of right now my Monk>Blue Mage in Ballista by a lot, but I may just need to get used to the different playstyle in ballista as blu.

/WAR

[Ravenlokk]

/war defender, damage reduction gear, etc! u can be a score whore with w legs, and still do some damage.

[Mysterio]

/war defender, damage reduction gear, etc! u can be a score whore with w legs, and still do some damage.

Yeah, you could totally tank up, and still throw your weight around with Cannonball.

Your bluemage should easily outdo your monk.

Do you not know the 3 multi-hit moves on bluemage?

[Maldra]

Yeah, I know all spells except for Body Slam (didn't learn it today in dynamis-xarc /cry) and about blu being better than my monk..idk I don't have crimson legs yet since we don't do sky very much; I do, however, have Herald Gaiters, Black Belt, cerb mantle +1 etc for my monk.

And btw, have full merits in Blue Magic skill, but not completed merits in the Blue Mage categories...still working on that .-.

Combat merits=6 katana, 4 H2H, and 2 lolevasion

I'll be sure to try /war in the next pash marshlands... already on /nin for jugner ;p

I could be mistaken but im pretty sure it needs to be from a mob that can "potentially yield XP" so dynamis mobs dont count... (idk, i could be wrong- i learned this move from the total-bitch red dragons in mount zhayolm)

lol Ballista is never cancelled on Ragnarok for Lvl 60 cap and no cap. Never.

Pretty sure I've heard of BLU learning spells in Dynamis and that you can only *not* learn spells when the mob has been CFH'd

[Awoir]

BLUs have learned Body Slam in Double Dragonian KS99, so Dynamis seems like a viable spot to learn it.

[Jer]

You can also learn moves from Limbus mobs.

I know so far as a 52blu, i only had 3 spells give me trouble thus far, the others were no lie learned 1-2 uses of the move itself. The bitch ones thus far were healing breeze, filamented hold and the one ive been in the jungle for 4 hrs for, magic fruit. i can't wait to see it once i start getting higher. everyone i talked to told me to go fuck myself for body slam. sounds like pure win when i hit 60?

Went 1/3 on Body Slam, pretty random as far as learning goes. But there's some broken stuff, picked up Reactor Cool off the pot BC for CoP, but don't worry. You're bound to hit your 1/120 or 1/300ish spell sooner or later. I can refer you to someone that went 1/500-something on Frightful Roar.

I threw on all eva gear, juice and tanked it backwards to learn it. After an hour, 2 more people showed up, one wanting a codex. I think it used it once the entire time with me. I join up, 5 mins later i have Roar, 7 mins he has a codex. Very lucky thus far, that's exactly what it is, fucking luck.

And therein you have the whole premise of learning Blue magic spells.

[Ravenlokk]

Dia is your friend when trying to learn blue magic from weak ass mobs... give it TP without doing too much damage

No disagreements there. XD
After learning all the spells already available by the time I hit 75, not really sure how much I'm looking forward to new spells (the learning process at least), especially from Soulflayers. That'll be a pain.

/blm for warp when the teams get shuffled into something retarded like healers on one side and melees on the other side

[Gulkeeva]

I liked sj nin, especially when you can use echo drops.

Thf was kinda fun to screw with people...
Flee in toward a mage (run a little past them, since they usualy jsut try to run directly opposite direction) frypan hit to wipe shadows, SA cannonball while they run. usualy almsot kills a taru blm.
