The belt and neck are worded poorly. They do not give 10% Weapon Skill Damage. They give .1 fTP to the WS. For high fTP, single-hit WSs or WSs where the first hit has the vast majority of the damage (Savage and Expiacion), they provide a minimal damage increase. The raw stats and attack on the current neck and belt outweigh Fotia in basically all situations. Fotia pieces are best used for multi-hit WSs that transfer fTP across all hits.
The entire Jhakri +2 set is more than fine for Savage and Expiacion due to the high STR/acc/atk on them. However, only the hands are best in slot, while the body goes to our AF+3 and the head/legs/feet go to high STR/WSD Herculean pieces.

Actually another question has pop'd into my mind as of now.
SAM guide says Fotia gorget / Belt better for FUDO (1 hit) than STR+
Why if it fTP+ and doesn't have a multi-hit (so it doesn't carry over anything)
Am I missing something here ?
same for Torcleave on DRK PLD
Blade: HI NIN
Please , would you mind explaining it a bit more detailed why those "Single Hit" WS are good with Fotia and Expiacion isn't .

Hi crits and has agi for wsc, Fudo's scaling is less pronounced, Torc uses vit wsc and a very high base damage weapon class. Different weaponskills, different properties, different results.
Fotia is often competitive for Expi/Savage regardless, chance to retain tp is beneficial and the wsacc is potentially relevant (especially for offhand/multiattack procs). The "best" option can and will vary.

So I am wondering now, which should I be using ?
Fotia for (TP Retain/ WS.ACC) V.S. STR+16 DEX+6 ATK+38 DA-5% WS.ACC+5
sorry for so many questions, just trying to fully understand and Grasp what is the actual thing here, and I want to better the dmg and output (by retaining TP i can do another WS right away creating more dmg than if i were to do 1,000 more dmg on WS itself I take?)
Thank you for taking the time to explain it to me guys :)

On the current blu spreadsheet Searing Tempest seems to be mistakingly giving Accuracy Bonus trait instead of Attack Bonus.

Could someone post a good macro example of using CA, BA, CDC and native blu spells to SC/MB? (That's a lot of initialisms there.) I'm trying to figure out the macro flow and how to actually even do this in one macro.

Don't. Macro setups like that generally aren't a good idea. Split it up instead.
On the current blu spreadsheet Searing Tempest seems to be mistakingly giving Accuracy Bonus trait instead of Attack Bonus. Noted. I'll try to get a new version out with new gears some time this week.

Need some advice please.
Been fighting Vir'ava recently, set up is BLM, SCH, GEO, BLU. We fought this the other night with absolutely no problems. Only had 1 trig so GEO Bolster Indi-Focus, Entrust Languor & Geo-Malaise to boost BLM & SCH.
I as the Blu would stand away from other mages and sleep the adds as they ran over to me with a macro set up to warn me when they're close to waking up. At this point I would entomb for petri and then dreamflower again. Had no problems with this until today where Entomb simply wakes them up and instead of petri, they all just attack immediately with TP moves. Shadows were up, Stoneskin was up and I went down like a sack of potatoes.
2100 BLU
2x Nibiru clubs (Path B, INT & MAB)
Ghastly Tathlum +1
Herc Helm with Macc+25, INT+6 & Mab+26 (realise mab does nothing for petri here, just dmg)
Sanctity Necklace
Friomisi Earring
Novio Earring
Amalric Doublet - Path A (Macc & Mab +15)
Amalric Gages - Path D (Int+10, Macc & Mab +15
Strendu Ring
Acumen Ring
Cornflower Cape (+10 Blu Skill... not sure if that helps)
Salaire Belt
Amalric Slops - Path A (Macc & Mab +15)
Amalric Nails - Path D (Macc & Mab +15)
/SCH, spell list includes Tenebral Crush for Macc Trait III
So not the best gear but not horrible and had no issues before, just suddenly stopped working.
Also had a weird instance where all adds ran over to me, used dreamflower on one of them and it hit only one of them. By this I mean 1 mob got hit by the spells rather than it hit them all and all but 1 resisted, the rest ran over and gave me big tentacle cuddles of death... I don't get how dreamflower aimed in the middle of a huddle of mobs can only hit one of them. Again this was the only instance of it happening. Never seen it do that before.
Any ideas?
I apologize for what amounts to a necro on this topic, but I thumbed through the comments and did not see a response that tackled this in it's entirety.
So:
1) Be cognizant of how Sleep and Break interact with one another, they don't quite overwrite each other, there's some nuance
2) More importantly, you must wait at least 1 second after they spawn or whatever you use will not actually land properly. Many groups have experienced this on Albumen and not being able to sleep his adds if they jump the gun. The adds are actually not instantaneously interactive when they first appear, there is a small delay window. (this also applies to when they run into your range, when it comes to moving targets, just because they appear to be in your AOE doesn't necessarily mean the server reflects that yet. In these cases it's better (if you have buffs) to just let them get in that one round of melee, just so you can be 100% certain they are actually in range on the server's end)
3) Most importantly, with the changes that were made to GEO, it's spells for padding your Magic Accuracy are not as good anymore, you likely now lack the magic accuracy requisite to actually land the additional effect. I would recommend making a special mode or lua that you use for that fight that uses specifically magic accuracy gear, and also consider picking up the full Jhakri +1 set, otherwise you're probably better off just having more than one BLM, and the one on crowd control using Manawall with super revitalizers just in case of oh ***moments.

I've looked through the past few pages and can't find anything current, so I was wondering if anyone would be able to upload their GearSwap .lua? Something that I might be able to go through and just edit the gear, as I am not too familiar with GearSwap itself.
Hell, even looking through someone's lua might also help me get an idea for what kind of gear I need to get next.
Thanks

Heya folks. Trying to maximize some of my casting sets and a question occurred to me that I can't find any information to answer.
Is there a way to increase duration of blue magic enfeebles?
The blue magic page on bg-wiki says blue magic skill directly affects potency of blue spells, but says nothing about duration.
This question is mainly in regards to our stun spells if that makes any difference.
Thanks

No.
As it specifically pertains to stuns, duration is naturally somewhat random but also potentially affected by macc. It is possible that boosting skill could affect your average duration if it increases your macc, but the same is true of +macc. The net potential effect of this on anything that matters is negligible.
Additionally, BLU enfeebles generally employ fixed potency. Skill is thus not a determinant in their effects, only in macc.

Body/legs are BIS for precast, head/body/legs match or beat existing cure gear for Magic Fruit etc (as NQ, HQ is a bonus), some of the HQs are contenders for White Wind (and maybe a NQ or two depending on what you can move around?), and the whole set is loaded with meva. Other than that not much to talk about, although the new HP/acc/macc stewpot is potentially very attractive for hybrid roles.

question, i am building my very first jse cape for tp, so far i just punting DEX, and my question, if i will use it for TP do you recommend Double attack or store TP? i am leaning toward Dbl atk+10% personally, not sure what is the best for blue tp. let me know what you guys think pls !
By geigei 2017-05-13 06:15:17
I use stp but the difference is minimal.

If it's your first cape go with DEX/Crit Rate. It will be fine for TP to start and will give a nice boost to CDC.

Dex 30 acc/att 20 Crit. rate +10
Great 1st cape will help all around.
STP cape is nice, but you can get stp elsewhere and w/ JTB 1+2 you only need to set STP 3 (5).
Crit. Rate +10 will help mele. and CdC.

Such a kick in the nuts to all blu's, again. I'm still not getting beat by anything other my server's absolute top 2-3 DD's on their wars and drks as blu and that's when they're fully buffed.
I solo everything whenever I want as BLU with the exception of only the hardest content. BLU is absolutely fine where it is. Its easily the best job in game and this gear only enhances its survivability and effectiveness. We don't need any more dps. We're pretty damn epic as it is.

Ehhh...
Strictly speaking it is an upgrade for BLU. 5/5 NQ is 40% curepot (caps with curepot Rosmerta's, among other possibilities), and matches or beats most existing MND/VIT gear. HQ is 50% and highest available power per slot, plus all the -enmity. Body and legs are obviously nice for precast, and that really is quite a bit of meva as BLU gear goes.
Having said that, the cure power increase is negligible since Magic Fruit and Plenilune Embrace scale like ***. The bigger selling point as cure gear is probably the -enmity, which still isn't terribly important given typical use cases. It's slightly more interesting for White Wind since that can generate a substantial amount of enmity, but you really need HQs to make the set shine for WW (and even then, some of it may not be optimal).
