BLU endgame build

[Tonko]

When BLU solo that's all they should be fighting. And BLU solo on Impz is very very good merit points.

My gear for imp soloing for those of you curious:
Main: Perdu hanger
Sub: Demonslayer
Range: Lamiabane (can't pull with magic @ the imp camp I use)

Normal melee setup:
Head: Turban
Neck: Chiv chain
Ear 1: Ethereal
Ear 2: Brutal
Body: Homam
Hands: Homam
Ring1: Flame Ring
Ring2: Flame Ring
Back: Boxer's
Waist: Swift
Legs: Dusk
Feet: Dusk

I've got 8 sword merits, use Sole, always set Accuracy bonus with Frip + Diss, accuracy is @ 95% with this setup, sometimes dipping a tiny bit bellow.

I use a total of 6 spells while soloing Imps.
Headbut:
Head: O Hat
Neck: P Charm
Ear 1&2: Triumph
Body: AF
Hands: Homam
Ring1: Sniper
Ring2: Jaeger
Back: Commander's
Waist: Potent
Legs: Prince's
Feet: RSE2 (Hume)

Magic Hammer (I get above 300 damage every time the recast on Magic Hammer is up when stacked with Burst Affinity)
Main: Apollo's
Head: Yigit
Neck: Promise
Ear 1: Moldavite
Ear 2: Communion
Body: Mahatma
Hands: Yigit
Ring1: Aqua
Ring2: Tamas
Back: Prism
Waist: Penitent's
Legs: Mahata
Feet: Mahatma

Bludgeon
Head: Voyager
Neck: Chiv
Ear1&2: Triumph
Body: AF
Hands: Pallas
Ring1&2: Flame
Back: Jester's +1
Waist: Potent
Legs: Prince's
Feet: RSE2

Frip&Diss
Head: Voyager
Neck: Chiv
Ear1&2: Triumph
Body: AF
Hands: RSE1 (the -dex on Alky/Pallas HURTS the damage more than the +STR helps)
Ring1&2: Flame
Back: Commander's
Waist: Potent
Legs: Prince's
Feet: RSE2

Frightful Roar
Head: Nashira
Body: AF
Hands: Nashira

Mind Blast is too much MP to pull with, and you should be using HeadButt to keep the mob locked down as much as you can anyways, making the paralyze procs not worth it.

I'm missing Homam Feet, Legs, Alky's, and a Speed Belt, and barring the 2 new armor sets my BLU will be done.

[Judai]

Yea, I can keep it stun locked pretty well. I figured Mind Blast would be a solid addition on top of stun lock. I would only use it to pull at Azouph. Wouldn't be possible at Hediva. I started to use Sprout Smack too when solo recently. The slow seems to make it a little easier.

How much dmg does Bludgeon do? I haven't used that in awhile.

I usually try to SC Light with Cannonball and MB Hammer but it's a pain sometimes. Otherwise my Hammer only pulls around 200 not bursted.

Thanks for tips btw! (^^)b

[Tonko]

Bludgeon does between 200-300 for me, making it my most cost effective damage spell. 16 MP, short recast, can't go wrong. I've got 8 Blue Magic merits, and 5 physical potency, really makes a huge difference.

[Judai]

Nice. I have on phy.pot. so far. IDK what to do about blu magic cause I'm BLM too lol..

[Celeras]

"For endgame purposes", Blu/Nin is garbage. Only time youll use it is on imps.

On easy things, Blu/Thf, TP and CA/SA V.Cleave your tp away.
On harder things, Blu/Thf, probably no TP and CA/SA cannonball

Using your tp on anything else except those spells is a complete waste in endgame, unless youre setting up a skillchain for a blm army. You'll always do more damage using the tp with the spells themselves.

[Tonko]

I've got my 5th magical accuracy merit now, and have been bugging the LS to let me try BLU/BLM for some events to see what I can do.

No luck though >_> Maybe if I deleveled my other jobs........

[Rocl]

All I see is Sheikh Manteel

[Tonko]

I'm just glad I don't have a Relic horn to go with it, or else my job change button would REALLY be broken.

[Villian]

Just wondering how much exp/hour you get with magic hammer set in? I usually go with clear mind tier 3 and only 4 melee spells to hit 10-11k per hours. I kinda wana try out the magic hammer thingy.

[ono]

Thanks for posting all of this, some good info. I'm at 5.5k to 75 and been soloing imps a little, but often messing up and dieing, but I think part of it is the spells I am going in with.

For feet I have Mountain Gaiters (what I usually TP in), Rutter Sabatons and Crimson Greaves (never use them). Ideally I would get Dusk feet until I get Homam feet, but gil is kind of tight right now and it might be several weeks/months before I get to lot on Homam. Am I ok sticking to using the Mountain Gaiters and Rutter Sabatons? And maybe use Dune Sandals (+4 CHR) on Bludgeon?

Also, for STR rings, I have Flame Rings from other jobs. Am I ok with those for physical spells, and do I need to use something else in duo/merit parties if I'm doing Savage Blade? I know MND is a modifier on Savage Blade, Flame Rings would give -4 MND, but should I even be concerned with the WS?

[SamanosukeShiva]

Wouldn't fortitude torque be better than chiv chain for BLU?

[Tonko]

If I had one I would probably use it, but I don't. Thanks for reminding me :-p

[Tonko]

When I solo Imps I do CA Frip, screw making skillchains.

What is this picture from?

[Kimiko]

Every Extend Extra Extreme (E4 for short), comming out for XBOX Live Arcade sometime in August

[ono]

For resting, am I ok with a Vermillion Cloak, or should I pick up an Errant body and then swap in the cloak when pulling? Currently resting with a V. cloak, Dark Staff (+10 hMP), Antivenom Earring (+1 hMP) and a Hierarch Belt (+2 hMP).

Also, I am kind of on the skint side with gil; I was able to afford Mahatma Slops and Pigaches for Magic Hammer, but can't swing enough for Aqua Rings right now. Would 2x Sapphire suffice until I can afford Aqua Rings?
