Kaslo :
Hijinx, yes CA isn't until 40.


Ah, I must have misunderstood crispleaf or she meant something else or something. Either way, too bad it's not 30.

(Hijinx) :
I was under the assumption that CA wasn't untill 40. If I can CASA at 30, then that answers my own question I suppose, lol. I'll have to check CA level again. Thanks for the tip.


God, I should just stop writing... :wall

Just noticed that you have under the BST subjob abilities that you'd get Tame at level 30 BLU, which you wouldn't =P Typo ftw =P

bumping..

so is there really no point at all in BLU/SMN?
after all, BLU makes a great use of mp but doesn't need to -na (/WHM), enfeeble (/RDM) or nuke the traditional way (/BLM).
so the best choice mp wise would be /SMN, which would also grant Auto-refresh job trait... wrong?

I was in a PT last night on my WAR (Lev37) with a BLU who was /SMN and man did he suck some huge ass. I would say half his spells missed, he did no damge with his sword and it was just a horrible experience. It was kinda sad to watch. I have been in PTs with BLU/BLM and BLU/WHM and both performed WAY better..

P.S
Also for your /RNG description, isnt Wide Scan worth mentioning? I know if I am out Camping a NM like Stray Mary I use /RNG for Wide Scan... But all in all this may be the best BLU post ever! Great Job!

Focus on BLU is never MP.

Ever.

Ever.

Also, how are you guys managing BLU/BST well? Any tips on spell setups/gear setups. I went out to the thickets at 74blu/bst and I couldn't even charm a EP Colibri.

fail,fail,fail,fail,fail,fail,fail,fail one after the other.

What am I missing? Is the idea just to make a charm macro with as much CHR gear as possible to fit on you? Are they certain spells I should have above others?

Any tips would be great.

Excellent guide!

Just one thing I like to mention though. You call /WAR a 'tanking' subjob but I have been BLU/WAR since 25 and I have tanked maybe once or twice in my parties. I find /WAR is an excellent DD job as it provides a huge boost to the DoT of your sword swings with Berserk and also improves the damage of your weaponskills. Yes, your spells won't critical every minute or so with SA but you are getting 25% bonus to your melee/WS attacks 60% of the time to make up for the damage. DA is also a fantastic DD tool and getting it at 50 as /WAR is even more of a plus. Also, /WAR offers both Attack and Defense Traits, freeing up some spell spots.

Edited to include these testimonial findings.

On a side note I think I might try to talk my LS into letting me try tanking Genbu one day as BLU/WAR. I will prob try to cap shield skill for /war tho on my RDM first >.>

LOL
What level is your BST? You do realize the charm from /bst is based off your BST actual lvl. AKA if BST is 37, your charm is almost as strong as a lvl 37 BST if you are doing BLU74/BST37. If your BST is 75, your charm strength as BLU74/BST37 is almost as strong as a 74 BST (capped at whatever the level is of the job you are using).
