Hi fellow blue mages! Recently got 40 and have been playing around with CA and BA.
It seems Flat Blade-Bludgeon and RLB-Jet Stream do the most damage generally so far. I really dig all the charts and info I found here.
I managed to do RLB-Jetstream-Bomb Toss a few times and mana burst. What should I be looking for from 40-50 especially as far as practicing good Mana Burst's while soloing? Unlike chain affinity charts and guides I have not found much information on MB.

thanks madara

If mob with mp[crawlers, beetles, or colibiri], RDL > Sickle Slash > Grav. > MP drainkiss is your best bet.

I believe he means "magic burst," Wolf.

Since when do crawlers have mp?

^ What I was gonna say

[Wolf~Knight]

some reason thought they did, meant crabs not crawlers anyways.

Yeah magic burst, too many games with the mana term its stuck in my head.
So what mobs to use MP Drainkiss on? Any in altepa?
Thoughts or guide about good magic bursts to tack on for solo damage much appreciated. Fusion and liquetication are two main ones I use so far.
thanks

Beetles. (Technically Antican mages too but good luck getting any mp back from them since they're dark based mobs)

Or they're earth based mobs, that just resist Darkness, not sure which

[evilpaul]

Not sure it makes a difference, really.

Unless you are MBing MP Drainkiss like the others are suggesting, then don't even bother with Magic Bursting.
A Blue Mage's magical spells are horribly inefficient for DDing until you manage to get the right gear sets at Lv75.

its both, and tis a bit more then jsut being resitant, im sure they have some sort of of elemental defence to dark and earth. but it has been a while since dealing with the mob so im unsure what the number is.

edit i was right:

Fuckin idiots adding +1 to their post count and not adding anything relevant to the discussion...

Just finished reading that post and that PUP guy you were hanging out with is dumb. I'll admit I don't know anything about PUP and the puppet's nuking powers but yes these innate resistances, immunities, and weaknesses do exist.

Antica - Resists Earth/Dark -50% | Weak to wind

Apkallu - Resists Water -50%

Avatar (Prime Lv~60) - Immune/Resistant to all elements EXCEPT opposing | Absorb damage of allied element. (I still want to test by how much they resist (percentage wise) other elements)

Wyrm - I'm getting tired so depends on color and other stuff....... ugh soo tired


PLEASE note any errors or mistakes I made. I'll fix the list if applicable. Thxs~

and because graviation is both dark and earth, it is unwise to use a sc like that on them, do fusion.

you can try RLB > uppdercut , if jet is bad for you.

getting nice sc damage should be an objective, get best total damage, not what sc uses best spell or w/e

ws+ spell + sc damage

using flat blade to start a liqu seems unwise
