    I'm sorry, but that's the most ridiculous shit I've heard in a long time.
    I don't see the point to this comment at all. I think it varies, I gave one reason as to why. There's also the fact that I can stun everything except Water Bomb some days and everything except Water Bomb and Frog Chorus on other days. Additionally the Madames display other behavior that varies from run to run, their resistance to the element of entrance day, multipliers on damage taken and different max HP.

    So let's put it this way. I think it's varies, other people in my group think it varies, other people on these forums think it varies. Arrogantly dismissing something without justification because it sounds ridiculous to you doesn't actually make you appear any more knowledgeable than you are. ...afk lol'ing at you.

    Re: Blue Mage in Salvage?

    I would agree with Suiram. I have an awesome Mnk stunner, he rarely misses a Chorus. When he does, however, he generally comments on the quickness of a particular Chorus. I have no idea how you can simply dismiss the idea Geno, no 5F/6F frog is ever the same as others before it. Some have Low HP, high resistance to magic + physical. Some have High HP, no resistance to physical/magic. With such varying factors, its not completely insane to say that the charge timer might be faster/slower. Until youve personally tested it, don't dismiss it.

    I've always put that down to the speed of my graphics card not the frog.

    For me Blu is godly for Zhy and does fine in the other zones with the possible exception of arrapago.

    For my group, we <3 BLU in Bhaflau. They tear up those 4th floor gears.

    Only run I would never really think of taking a BLU though is Arrapago. Just not enough cells there to make BLU worth it.

    Re: Blue Mage in Salvage?

    With my group we do salvage 5 times or so a week, my only jobs are BLU,DRK and PLD, and im almost always asked to go BLU for it.

    In bhaf remnants its no problem, cells galore and we make good work of tearing apart the 4th floor gears. Also some times on the 3rd floor rampart we get swamped by Colibri, Sheep Song and Soporhic will work excellenty without any reflections.

    In Zhay i try my best stunning frog chorus with flat blade + the gears on the later floors, also diamond hide for the boss is nice for everyone getting hit by discoid.

    Arrapago Remnants i probably feel the most useless, i lack the nescary cells but me + one other stunner both keep the Deviate Bhoot stunned no problem at all.

    SSR is my faviorite to go on blue mage, espically LAC fights you can get huge damage with cannonball

    For boss runs i stick to /thf my cannonballs nearly always top 1000 dmg with CA. I also play a big support roll, taking up healing duties when mages need to rest.
