Dreamlands, Etc.

Well how about talking in plain english, I know thats hard for people these days. Thats my best advice for now.

are you mentally ill? or just HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE?

Interesting that you'd automatically assume I have an inability to construct sentences. "Plain English" can get rather droll, if I do say so myself.

Is it not also hard for "people these days" to make a statement whilst avoiding adding a condescending connotation to it?

But your whole previous post didn't make any sense the way you worded it.

Best I can guess is that your nukes weren't doing much dmg and want help with nuke setups for dreamlands.

If not then no idea what it meant.

The set on my profile is my standing set.

FullDMG:
[Staff] Look to HQ these ASAP, Dark->Thunder->Ice->Wind->others are less important (some people may argue of the exact order
Phantom Tathlum Fine
AF Hat OK, but look towards Demon Helm+1 of AF+1
Igqira Weskit Fine
Vicious Mufflers Fine
Errant Slops (AF2 where applicable) HQ the slops when you can, AF2 is great when active
Moldy Good
Morion Ear Good for now, obviously a HQ would help, but it would be low on the list
Zircon Ring x2 Change to at least Diamond Ring
Prism Cape Good
Penitent's Good
Philomath Stole IMO your BLM isn't 'good' enough to use this, Elemental Torque will help you more, even in your max damage set.


HighResist[And Mid-resist, I guess]

Black Cloak NO! don't nuke in this, I know it has a little more skill, but just don't
Wizard's GlovesGood, obviously +1 them ASAP

Max them out asap if you are serious about blm.

Sorry Arg, there's a "translated version" a few posts down, seeing as the humor went *Whoosh!*

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm used to "Swing 6 times, WS, repeat" xD

Also, if there are specific zones/NMs/Mobs I should have a resist set for, I'd love to know. Up until now I've only really nuked puddings and City Dyna mobs.

This isn’t aimed at any one in particular, but this is my view on how a BLM should progress once they hit 75.

The first aim for a BLM is to get the 4 main HQ staves (Thunder, Ice, Dark, Wind) and a pretty solid ‘average’ damage set, this will act as your main nuking set for meriting and the few events you come on as BLM. Its main aim is to do the best DoT (so low resist rate).

As a fresh your skills and merits will be low so to do decent damage (over time) you will need a combination of skill/m.acc and INT/MAB. Later as your merits and gear get better you can start separating this ‘average’ damage set into 2 sets; the classical Skill and Max damage sets.

Once your ‘average’ damage set is up to scratch and you have the 4 staves then you should look into a solid enfeebling set. BLM has low natural skill, but gets a lot of ‘Enfeebling ’ gear. A good EG BLM’s enfeebling set should have as much skill as some ‘AH’ 75 RDMs (personally I hit 293 skill atm). Igqira head and legs are great starts (the legs are pretty affordable these days).
So now you have a decent all round nuking set, a decent enfeebling build and some decent merits your BLM is ready to really start attending events. You now have a few choices based on how you plan to use your BLM and how seriously you want to take it. Things most people add now are:

* A skill set (aka ‘320/120’) for nuking God/Jailers/Bosses/HNMs
* A real max damage set, which should be a beefed up version of your old ‘average’ damage. This is for Dynamis/Merits/Farming/Limbus/Einherjar (non boss). Here is where you would consider a Sorc ring.
* A Darkmagic set for Drain/Aspir (this should be a mix of skill and haste)
* A Stun set for magic casting mobs and stunning TP moves (this should be max haste, with some skill added)
* A resting set for people who want more nukes per minute

A ‘career’ BLM should have all of the above (and possibly some more besides), but less serious BLM could remove sets depending on what they are intending on doing.

What each set contains varies based on budget etc. But there should be plenty of ‘cookie’ cutter builds out there that you can copy.
