Which Are Your "Ugh!!!" Spells?
Which are your "Ugh!!!" Spells?
Tried learning Heat Breath & 1,000 needles for 5 hours then gaveup... the spells don't exist
I spent 4 hours last night with some friends trying Warm-Up.
Logged off for the night.
Logged back on, solo'd 1 mob and got it >_>

Bad Breath was the hardest one for me, just wouldn't learn it. Spinal Cleave took a while too, but not too much.
All the other ones were kinda easy. If you're farming spells try to look for the family in Abyssea. When I did it, wiki havent listed them as possible to learn. e.g. Cold Wave from bombs in Uleguerand, Memento Mori from Courses in Tahrongi, Magic Hammer from Poroggos in La Theine etc. Went 1/1 on them mostly in Abyssea.

I made a big post on the prior page with about 20 spells that I had learned in Abyssea, screenshots included. There are a LOT of spells you can learn in all Abyssea zones.
I'm down to 12 spells. Unfortunately, the few I need you can't really get in Abyssea.
Exuviation is only used by Itzpapalotl, and no one enfeebles it so it won't use it. Ram Charge you can get from Rams in La-Thiene, but thier Great Bleat sucks. Bog Bodies DO NOT use Spinal Cleave, and there are no Lamia/Merrow in Abyssea for Tail Slap/Hysteric Barrage :/

I know venturing outside abyssea can be scary for some, but this spell was a joke to get, even at 75.
1) Set Regurgitation and Yawn/Dream Flower/Sleep-spell-of-choice
2) Pull Wamoura
3) Spam Regurgitation
4) Cast sleep if bind from regurgitation breaks early
5) Learn spell

Pollen took me 2 days to learn >.>;; almost gave up trying Blue Mage but i eventually got it and now its my main ^^d
Tbh you shouldn't really have many problems just straight up melee soloing the moths at this point.

I'm probably just going to do that. I duo'd a few with a buddy, he got the spell, I didnt, but it didn't seem too hard.
I was on BLU for grellow for Itz while farming it for Emp so I just spammed Regurg one time out of laziness and learned it by accident ><
Worse spell was Winds of Promyvion that I can recently remember, I don't talk about pollen.

Don't worry, it's a shitty spell anyway. If I remember rightly.. Can be used to set Counter though.
Asuran Claws was one of the most let down-ridden spells that I ever remember us getting. A 6-hit spell sounded so good... then... /sigh
Exuvation(sp), Cannonball, Hysteric Barrage... Lvl89 & still can't get the damn spells.

Totally agree. I remember going out there as a Lv70 blu with a few friends. Took us maybe 90 minutes to finally learn the spell. Set it expecting epicness. And it continually hit like 70%ish the dmg of Frenetic rip and cost more MP -.- Didn't improve much with higher levels / gear either. Diss/fren always out-powered it.

They are important spells man. Well, Cannonball still is anyway. I'd highly recommend working on them.
I'm kinda at a loss as to what kinds of situations cannonball would be superior to, say, Benthic Typhoon or Vanity Dive in. :o
Correct me if I'm wrong... I've only been back to the game a week or so...
But Cannonball has a range of around 21 yalms, which is over twice the distance of bethic and it isn't AoE... So is great for pulling/kiting/dealing damage at a distance without being within AoE range of the mob.
Edit: Not to mention with /thf it can still put out good numbers while at a healthy distance. I know Benthic can be used /thf too, but you still have to be in close range.

for pulling and claiming yeah, but in the few situations where I'd be kiting and dealing damage I'd probably use Regurgitation unless it was really resistant. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying it's useless, it's just that its uses have diminished considerably.
I personally would still class it as a useful spell, regurg is good for magic damage and bind but it's still useful to have a long range physical damage spell for resistant mobs and such (Although I guess with atmas, resistant mobs are fewer and far between now). Obviously it's situational, as majority of blu spells, but I would never class it as one of the spells you can just 'skip'.

Cannonball is handy when pinning certain vnms >_>

I've lost 20k exp trying to get the damn things. Still at it & about to be Lvl88.
Yeah, they're not the friendlist spells to hunt. I had a NIN friend help me out but that was back at Lv75 cap. Not sure how difficult they're to solo at 90, haven't tried. Always hated those moths though.
The mobs themselves aren't terrible... It's the links at least for me.

Atleast blu get tons of sleepgas :P
Wrong thread but spells have me thinking.. why the hell do toau mobs in abyssea use only a few of their abilities? SE is trolling us...
so far i spent 9 hrs over the course of 3 days trying to get charged whisker.
the best part about it is, i level this *** *** job just so i could AOE ***without worrying about ruby and i can't even learn the damn spell.
pure *** fail.
