Ahourn :
but what if just maybe the ACC bonus from /rng could help us?
i mean after all we as blu get what most people see as a useless job trait (rapid shot)
would the bonus even be enough at 37 to help?


The /RNG's Accuracy Up Trait I + II @ BLU60/RNG30 should give you +20ACC/RACC. And while that's a pretty damn hefty boost to accuracy, you sorta lose a lot of other things to gain it. There are probably some cases where boosting ACC that high would be genuinely useful, but I don't really know end-game BLU well enough to offer commentary one way or another.

I personally think a lot of BLU spells need to be tweaked. Most of the spells will only do high damage if you have 100TP and use SA + CA which means high damage every 2 minutes? There are a few spells that are good but i honestly think that many of them need to be fixed so that we can deal high damage.

THats the thing... I tried as 72 on Genbu.... God was I disappointed...

Self-Light chain missed off the mark.


emphasis mine.

and i saw you said you were sub nin, and i wanted to suggest /thf and not doing a self chain, but rather working into your alliances skillchain series. the goal would seem to be to do your most effective guaranteed damage with the tp you've built, but it is even more critical to provide a moment for the BLMs to land big spells with certainty. have to go for both if you want a smooth fight, and keep hate on the tanks.

being /THF is a good excuse to stay in the main alliance at the end of the fight, too. ;D

Did Proto Omega yesterday with nin sub. Most of the physical spells did very low damage, the only two spells that did the most damage were frenetic rip and diseverment (hysterric barrage did 100ish). I tried heat breath while on four feet and got resisted (only 87 dmg).
I couldnt try other stun magic but headbutt cant stun him with nin sub. I'll try thf sub next time.
The detectors can be stunned though and physical spells do good damage to them but they dont compare to blm nukes.

----------------
Sunday night, Ls did a bahamut run for some more members and broke my last vertical cleave record (now 900ish no food)
This time i tried headbutt and it stuns him almost every time and no need for sneak attack.
----------------
Then we jumped to A01 and did an Ouryu. Evervation, Feather tickle, and Actinic burst land, can also help silencing the adds.

Bahamut and Ouryu info updated.

No pics but for what it's worth:

Agroed an Ul'yovra for fun, slept it with soporific, landed Lowing. Then ran away, being solo. Was blu/whm with what should work out to be 2 MAB traits of spells + moldavite earring.

1k+ sataca vertical cleave on trolls in Mount Zhaylohm in xp @ 75.

Claimed Ulli the other day vs a horde of rmt with Cannonball.^^

Landed Frightful Roar about 60-70% of time as blu/thf on nm's in dynamis-xarcabard. Did sataca vertical cleave for about 400-500 on same nm's. Occasionally landed Actinic Burst, and even the resist was enough to get hate and help kiters momentarily when it was needed once.

saca Cannonball for 400-660 from 0% tp on Faust.

Landed select spells despite Magic Barrier on pots and ahrimans in various places, including magical ones (Frightful Roar & Frost Breath, can't remember if others, though MP Drainkiss resisted.)

Absolutely shut down Goblin monks in dynamis jeuno with head butt > frypan > head butt > tail slap > head butt > frypan...

Trio'd Dune Boots nm Cactuar Bailarina (sp?) for a good 5 minutes till others arrived, with a sam and rdm. Head butt spam > 1k needles.

Edit: And did PM 8-3 zdei bcnm for a friend a couple of days ago as blu/blm. eseal soporific lasted a good while on them.

Also had a friend of mine land Soporific without e-seal on Boroka, think he was /thf, but know for sure no eseal or burst affinity were used. Was surprised cause enfeebling magic sleep won't land without eseal.

And going back a bit, landed Light o' Penance on Xolotl @ blu68 with apollo's staff.

And to Yoona, even a 0 dmg Disseverment should land a poison dot stronger than Poison II. I've heard it's 18/tick, can anyone confirm?

The equipment I use is:
Equipment used:
Head: Homam Zucheto (change to Voyayer sallet for str mod)
Body: Homam Coraza
Hands: Homam Manoplas
Legs: Homam Cociales
Feet: Marine M Boots (for str mod)
Neck: Fortitude Torque
Back: Amemet mantle
Waist: Warwolf belt (lifebelt for more acc)
Ammo: Fenrir stone
Rings: Rajas, Garruleous ring
Earrings: Supanomimi, Ethereal earring
Weapons: Wing swords (ifrit blade)
merits: 2 str, 4 sword, 2 crit

It is more of displaying what can be done against certain mobs with a little description on the side. I'll put what subjobs were used on the side.

Well I do well on most mobs. Haven't test blu on endgame, but I noticed stats of your gear and wonders does it make a difference?

Accuracy is very important but also every bit of str can make a huge difference. For example, for vertical cleave which is 50 STR I use ifrit blade, for Cannonball I use wing swords for the +2str +2vit because of the str and vit mod.
Homam conpensates with acc since i dont use food except for fishkabobs for NMs weak to cannonball, but if i could i would get that cotehardi+1 that gives STR for equip change macro.
I should note that for things like vertical cleave, when it comes to equipping spells, i equip everything that gives +str and nothing else. Same for cannonball but this time I equip all str and vit + fishkabob, pro4, cocoon, str and vit songs if you got brd on your pt.

Triple/double Attack doesnt proc on physical blu magic :/

Interesting things to note, don't underestimate MP drainkiss.
On that heat breath, I see that number quite alot '453' (most jailers, gods, in this particular screen P-ultima). It normally runs around 640ish on regular mobs, but it seems to be reduced by something on most HNMs. It's kind of similar to trying to Spirits Within Jailer of Fortitude, some resistance factor there. I think I remember getting full damage on Prudence or Hope with 2-hour, but I didn't screen cap it.

Gear for the above:

Errant Body, Legs, and like a dark staff for the MP Drain.
Heat Breath, HP gear, errant, blah blah blah.

EDIT: oh yeah that last pic is in there for fun lol, but yeah that's the normal amount heat breath doubled. yay for hpemde. you can get some sick results with carbonara/melzane and a decent hp setup. Most with food was like 800ish.
