You won't beat him. Even without sea access, lets look at what he'll have...
75BLU/37NIN

Hysteric Barrage(5 hit spell every 20 seconds), Dual Swords(dual weild ii=-20% delay), Utsusemi: Ichi and Ni(shadows), Magic Fruit(cure IV), Cocoon(+50% def) metallic body(LOLstoneskin) Head Butt (stun) LOTS AND LOTS of AoE sleep songs and Chaotic Eye = He can silence you himself.

You'll have... what. Single hit elemental spells, the same shadows. and dual weild IV. great.

Level RDM if you want to beat him. I brenner plenty on my blu and RDM is the only job I can't seem to consistently beat.

Is this a necrobump if it's 3 threads down?

Deep, I've never thought of that.

IF you've ever fought a BLU then you'd know that their slow dual weild is easily removed with Hojo (as any other /nin in general) and that shadows can interupt (this is why i love provoke rofl) so that leaves the big 3 (which we've discussed) and the rest are slow casting spells which shouldn't have ever been mentioned in this topic... you can STRAFE or TURN AROUND to avoid most of them or step out of their short 5sec casting range. Having fought a BLU and being a BLU i know these things to be true.



Just take some time and practice a bit... Take the WoW approach and run around him if you have to xD The goal is to get in more damage than he can, which you should be able to, while exploiting his weakness (casting and casting timers (never used double parenthesis but it's fun to tell you guys that Hojo: Ni casting Jubaku after his headbutt will take his timers to a WHOLE new level )) For kicks, I'd suggest leveling BLU.

As a PvP lover, I'm interested in seeing more necrobumping in this section.

Okay so this Blue Mage that hasn't even reached level 75 and he is already giving me crap that he can beat my Ninja in a conflict match. I would like some suggestions on what i should do to win in a 1 on 1 fight against him. I have all the Ninjas <b>skills capped</b>. Please give me <b>tips</b> and <b>suggestions</b> on what i should do when fighting agaisnt a Blue Mage. Anything from what I should sub, positioning my self on the feild, what time I should cast spells, and how i should cast them, when I should attack with my katanas, items I should use and, what to expect from a Blue Mage. Please post your suggestions like a sopisticated nice person.

Statistics on the Blue mage- He is level 58 I have all his account info so I'm updated on the spells he has, Gear what marco's he uses, and I know for a FACT he will NOT get Disvemberment, Cannon ball, OR Regurgitation. or the other High teir Blue Mage spells.

As for the Weapons I'm going to use I will list below, I don't feel like putting my other gear up

Weapons - Is a <b>Seito</b> with the <b>enhancment of Ensilence </b>on it, and a Mamushito +1 on the off hand.

I can also sub any job for they are all above the lvl 37 <img src="http://killingifrit.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

From what it sounds like, you have your skills and subjobs capped properly. Basically, you just need the right combination and gear. If you have access to evasion armor, you can consider the possibility of equipping +evasion skill items such as Evasion Torque and Evasion Earring giving you a total of +10 skill in addition to any merits you may have. You would simply deck the rest of your armor with +evasion and +AGI armor to help evade attacks. Depending on your friend's subjob, once he is vulnerable to land ninjutsu, immediately start off with kurayami and he'll be at a big disadvantage if he's simply using physical-based spells.

An evasion build works very well, but remember that unlike your friend, you won't be able to use any useful healing spells. To make matter worse, your best bet is to spam Ni/San nukes as people have stated to damage him, which will give him plenty of TP for Chain Affinity/skill chains.

A second build that you can try that would work really well against physical attacks as well, would be a -physical damage% build. You would basically use a Jelly Ring, the full Arhat +1 set along with Defending Ring if possible. You would focus on stacking the rest of your gear with +defense and +VIT. If you use this combination, WAR would be a reliable subjob because the rare provoke that lands may prevent a healing spell from landing.
