The Beast Within -- A Guide to Blue Mage
Leviathan.Dastrian said: » If this is my current TP set would I be correct in assuming Nemetona cap would do more for me during TP phase? This is my TP set: I'm a mithra, so with this set I have 164 dex which caps my dDEX for Dynamis and most Nyzul targets. *edit* I should say "puts me over cap on dDEX for most decent challenge mobs" Gonna need to update a few sets a little w/ the new morrigan +1 pieces.
Updated with the couple of pieces that are actually a positive increase in damage, added dubious upgrades to potential gear options (such as Fae's cuffs and ***), didn't bother adding things like morrigan feet and hands +1 to nuking since theyre situational as *** and not worth inventory space. Adding Morri robe +1 to requiescat was a bit pointless I suppose but it's enough of a bonus in a majority of situations that idc
could add that cheruski needle to CDC set, has atleast 3 STR more then Thunder Sachet ^^

I dont use praeco for anything else I had morrigan's for blue from awhile ago. Was holding out on magavan frock hoping morrigan's +1 would be better. I'd be happy to lose praeco and use morrigan's +1 instead. My inventory is hurting badly.
Another big reason I'd love to get khepri wristbands. Huge inventory saver. Supposedly there's an error on Morrigan's Robe +1 and it should have attack+13 as well, so there's that.

I so rarely ever use it. Not even sure if I care about trying to get any other gear for it. Minor addition, added proc lists under their respective events in sections VIII and IX.
Should add Smart Grenade to tp Set and/or CDC, blu can maintain a capped acc on most things they can do ( I do this without thamaus and euxine +3 legs) possibly cheruski needle if attack/acc is capped for some reason and if the STR/Dex is applicable for FStr and Ddex ratios(not 100% savvy on this).
It was pointed out awhile back that athos's hands could be used on lightsday for CDC by night also. Not to harp on you if it came across that way, thanks for updating your sets and maintaining the sticky always nice to read over every once in awhile and excuse to try out new avatar. Rectified, thanks. I have issues keeping tabs on small things like ammo pieces.
Since you're in the updating mood, Spurrina Coif over Wivre Hairpin for idle set.
20+ pages, so I didn't look through them all, so forgive me if it's been asked. But, how big of a difference would Khepri Jacket, Khepri Bonnet(assuming both have the HQ augs) make for CDC vs Ocel/Toci set?
The augment on the bonnet wouldn't have any effect on CDC.
You're gaining: 14 str, 1 dex, 21 accuracy, 5% WS damage And losing: 10 attack, 3% DA, 3% TA How big is that difference? Check out Motenten's DPS Spreadsheets Scar just wanna say thanks for this guide, its helped me immeasurably over my BLU career and made me all the better player! Thank you!

Glad I could help ^.^
i def agree aside from blowing up draylo's this Thread has been a brilliant help when i get confused on a gear piece for a spell or ws.
This guide has been immensely helpful in gearing my fledgling BLU. Thanks so much!
One question, though: is Swith Cape for Fast Cast a deliberate omission due to inventory space, or an oversight?

If you have the room take it, but I know its on the list of stuff I could live without if I ever needed to make some space.

If you have the room take it, but I know its on the list of stuff I could live without if I ever needed to make some space. This. I use it, but I use Swith for BRD and all my other mage jobs so it's worth the space. If you play DD jobs and BLU is your soloing job, I can see saving the inventory space as the gains aren't that significant (particularly because if you are relying on spamming a single spell to win you are in bad shape anyway). I always keep my full fastcast set on me. Some of it's dual purpose anyhow. I will say that for .5 sec casts, you can't use it anyway if you want to actually cast in your spell gear and not your FC gear and much of what blu casts is short .5 to 1 sec cast spells but anything longer it helps a lot. I'd imagine it's saved my *** a few times when needing a fast cure or sleep on a bunch of mobs.
Oversight, I use it myself
Tjukurrpa annulet for Requiescat?
Without math they should be nearly identical or Aquasoul should be ahead by a tiny tiny bit when you don't need the acc, will look at it later when I'm done doing this thing
I know they're basically equal, but I didn't see it listed. Let's me sell my Aquasoul though. And morrigan slops +1
I don't think I even know anyone that has tried Arch Apocalyptic Beast before, let along have that ring, lol. It's definitely a nice ring though. I guess technically it's a great Realmrazer Ring for BLU too, lol.
BTW, you can stick Spurrina Coif into the BLU Idle set if you're going to stick hexed-1 stuff in there if you want. Pretty purple hat with +2 Refresh. Added, added, and added
With the latest update, have there been any changes to off-hand sword's most optimal choice, or is it still fire magian?
Still fire magian. Unless SoA brings some amazing new weapons, it'll be fire magian for a long time.
