Another Blu Thread, I Know

Get them all.

Sorry had to, but he should get all of them. Head butt is key. The spells for Auto-refresh are good to have. Disseverment is still good post 75. Diamondhide and magic fruit are good to have too.

Is he key whoring it or actually exping on it?

what is with all the pokemon pic posts lately?

i was gonna say theres important spells at each level if he didnt leech to 90. which takes all the fun out of blu. i had the most fun soloing mobs for spells as i leveled up. and even when you have a party or alliance of blus going for spells was a ton of fun.

Get pinecone bomb, yawn, sheep song, and soporific as well. Sleep spells are always handy. Exuviation, Actinic Burst, Cannonball, Regurgitation, MP Drainkiss, Blitzstrahl, Bludgeon (great for learning spells even after it stops raping at low levels), plus the ones you mentioned earlier and the ones I mentioned earlier would be what I consider the bare minimum.

Still need to get them all, but get those first.

If he wants to kill stuff he should get Quad.Continuum, Benthic Typhoon, Disseverment, Hysterric Barrage, Blood Drain, Battery Charge, Animated Wail, HEAD BUTT!!!!, whirl of rage, regurgitation, Goblin Rush, Cimicine Discharge, Sub-Zero Smash, Plenilume Embrace, and Dream Flower.

i would also look at the Blu Job Abilities and get the spells required for abilities he wants. Plasma Charge and Actinic Burst are good (refresh and good anyways, shockspikes/flash).

I don't think he should have any "6 hour" issues if he caps his blue magic for level 90 (which he should be doing if he plans to proc some of the grellows anyhow).

Granted I don't think he should absolutely require EVERY SINGLE spell, it will give him access to alot more job traits. It also gives him the added benefit of doing something while skilling up. Some skills that you would not use for traits, grellow, or DPS, might coincidentally have stats that will help you land on difficult grellows.

If someone made a post stating: "my buddy key farmed himself 90 blm and wants to know what 5 spells he should buy besides grellows" they would be getting chewed up and it would probably be flame-core'ed.


"Gotta catch 'em all". Applies to abbysites and atma too, etc.

I aggre but you can't compare blu to any other mage jobs that needs spells simply because of how much work it takes to get blu spells. for any other mage job all you need to do it buy the spells. For blu you need to take hours to make the monster use it.

There are a few that are pretty much completely useless...

Don't say such things about cursed sphere!

I still use Filamented Hold when I solo. Usually not equip otherwise.
I would assume Cimicine Discharge should be the better slow because its the latter spell, but there is still no info on the % of slow it is.

Cursed Sphere is nice for pairing with Sound Blast when AoE Burning for a 3 Set Point Magic Attack Bonus trait.

Cursed spheres actually good for the Mag. Atk. bonus job trait when paired with sound blast.
But really, having every spell is part of being blu and just for the odd random job traits.

Aparently it's just as potent as Slow II, but there's no concrete proof yet ._.

Touche, forgot about the MAB trait. Umm then how about... Queasyshroom.

Non AoE and strips all enemy shadows. Idk if really useful but hey...

No cursed sphere is actually useful. Only way to make MAB pre lvl 61. So ie as a subjob.

On the other hand Queasyshroom, Helldive, Screwdriver, Venom Shell, Blood Saber, Feather Barrier, Hydro Shot, Asuran Claws, Ram Charge are the ones I've never used other than testing

I like feather barrier when soloing sometimes. The duration is lacking, but the evasion boost is definitely noticeable.

Supposedly it's only 20% pretty easy to test though. Slow II is like 39%

I used Helldive at lower levels because I was receiving a Monster Affinity correction against the enemies I was fighting, making it quite powerful and MP efficient.

The duration is the problem though. And it's only about 20 evasion... 30 sec duration 2 min recast 2 sec cast for 29 mp... kinda bleh.

BLU doesn't have enough base Evasion to really make use of Feather Barrier in my opinion. Actinic Burst on the other hand...

I abuse that lol.

You know in a semi decent evasion set a blu only needs 1-2 evasion atmas to get evasion comparable to a thf... and I like actinic but recently it seems to only help if I have shadows up :(

Where do you get room on your BLU for a semidecent Evasion set?!
