Bump. Sticky this.

As for that /bst argument, the level of the bst sub (above 37) seems irrelevant, I mean that just doesn't even make sense. You're 75something/37bst, not 75something/75bst for fuck's sake.

although i've never heard of a blu/pld anywhere >.>; this is pretty awesome. my only thing is: what's the "Tier" crap? does that define usefulness of the SJ? or is there something I'm missing? cuz it seems all the truly useful ones are stuck under "Tier 1"

other than that part being vague (probly my own stupidity) it's very good. I'd say sticky this and let people comment on what they find as ups and downs for their SJ choices :boing


yeh ive never heard of anyone subbing pld or a couple other of the subs you listed.... you got a lot of things right but i saw some things wrong lol, /thf gets better at lvl 70+ it makes death scissors look [too weak] because of cannonball and verticle cleave which their usefulness depends on the situation i prefer cannonball but verticle cleave ignores shadows and can be very strong if you have a good str setup although i wouldnt recommend for some HNMs like wyrms lol dont want any spike flailing happening, /whm is very good for HNMs smn a lot less useful /whm can still DD good and be an awesome mainheal mind blast is extremely strong with a nice mnd setup MBing over 2k sometimes but you need around +60 or so mnd, /war isnt a good tank after lvl 40ish but you can push it up to the mid 50s if you dont have anything else good. /nin is an awesome tank can keep very good hate by spamming multi hits and exuviation which gets a lot of hate. /bst is awesome for solo in certain circumstances, id only use /rdm at low levels and in ballista i dont recomend /nin for ballista because if someone else is dual wielding your shadows are gonna wipe out fast so you need as much damage mitigation as possible and since our eva sucks badly you wont be dodging much anyways. the other subs i really dont recomend, and to clarify this a lot of blus on my server think this but attack, acc, and magic attack bonuses do not affect physical blue magic. magic attack bonus only affects magical blu magic ive tried and tested all this and didnt notice any dif in spells, attack only raises damage ver slightly with a jump in 400 attack damage only improved by 10-50 which is totally not worth it stack up on dex and str for physical blue magic vit does not help cannonball that ive noticed, stack mnd for whm of course if you got any more questions just PM me i guess

/thf gets better spells 70+ but becomes weaker in exp because of the environment there. At 68-75 you will either be in the mire fighting imps (Amnesia negates /thf imo and in alot of other opinions) or will be in a burn party where you need shadows to protect you and there is very little time to setup SA(TA).

For Mind Blast /blm > /whm because of MAB2 and Elemental Seal, even for MND nukes.

I gotta agree with Kaslo I think. With Elemental Seal it would boost the damage.

Corrderio :

E seal boosts the magic acc of spells, yes?
well... Mind Blast is a demon spell
AF helm
Magic Acc merits (or even Monster correlation merits)

between all those, and using Burst Affinity to MB it, you shouldn't get resisted in the least bit (assuming ur Blasting internet dragonz like Fafnir. on the bigger things you might need E seal, but the bigger things are Cannonball Bait)

so w/ max m.accuracy, all you can really do to boost ur dmg is raise the cap on dmg. MND does that.
correct me if i'm wrong <.<

And you call yourself a Blue Mage. tongue.gif

But... I gotta agree with Kaslo. I think /blm would prove better than /whm for Mind Blast just cause you get a free Matk Bonus II and a neat 10 minute Elemental Seal. Then just stack a ton of MND gear + MND spells.
