Now before you instantly dismiss the idea, just read on, please.
I've always wanted to see some testing on this. Everyone I've discussed this with thinks I'm crazy for the most part to consider it for one main reason.
Theory is shot to hell? Possibly, but take into consideration: This was written when Weapon Skills, Blood Pacts, and mob TP moves (BST) were the only things in the game with skillchain properties. Avatars and BST pets are unaffected by gear that doesn't specifically say that it affects avatars or pets... So obviously, to simplify, the word "weapon skills" would likely be used. SE isn't one to revise 'completed' projects. Blue Mage wasn't introduced until a while after the gorgets were, unless I'm hugely mistaken.Originally Posted by Sea Gorgets
Now, for those unfamiliar with how physical Blue Magic works, they generally can't participate in skillchains. Chain Affinity (job ability) must be used to activate their skillchain property so that it goes into effect, so evidence shows us. Every physical blue magic spell has it's own skillchain property(two in some cases), much like (most) weapon skills. I believe it's possible the gorgets' latent may activate completely based on skillchain property, rather than only for weapon skills, as we all know SE has no foresight, or at least selective foresight.
It's often assumed that Blue Magic is unaffected by gorgets. I'm not looking for opinions being treated as if they were facts. I see too much of this going on already. If you want to speak your mind, that's fine, I'd just really rather not hear "it's not possible" without any testing to show. Please have an open mind.
So my question is... Is there any testing on this? Can someone point me in the direction of some? Parse results are highly encouraged, whatever the sample size.
