FINAL FANTASY XI Job Adjustmentｓ Manifesto [Blue Mage]

[Covenant]

@defiledsickeness... I think we DO get a massive damage spell...they're called physical spells and can be spam mend for low mp and fast recast timers. Not to mention efflux and skill chain boosts?

I consider myself average Bluemage at lvl 85 and can get 1-1.5 k with hysterical barrage and efflux on normal mobs. Ghats pretty strong for 76mp. Not to mention the whole solo skill chain equations.

How so? You do realize not everyone has Xarc access right? Which is something you can't solo, well not that I know of anyways. Hairpin you can.

It's because the chance of getting a Refresh augment is very low.

And if you haven't cleared Dyna - Beau your "chance" of getting Duelist's Chapeau is 0, thus lower than pin.

Not having access doesn't have any relevance towards the difficulty of obtaining the item at all.

Go and get your Dyanmis-Beaucidine win.

Not having Visions makes your chances of getting the pin 0 too, point?

I have my hat thanks... I didn't say it applied to me specifically way to assume there. Still doesn't change the fact someone who doesn't have access won't have access without the help of people, that help isn't required to get the pin which effectively makes it easier to obtain. Annoying and random luck =/= difficult.

The point is installing an expansion and having access to the zone where you can get an item solo isn't the same as having to clear 5 zones with a group of people. But way to pick a weak argument there.

[Neisan_Quetz]

You can clear all 5 zones of Dynamis long before you could end up seeing a Hairpin solo. I know at least one person who went over 30 days of AoE farming on Blu before finding a refresh augment you can clear dyna in 5.

The point remains not having access has no relevancy to the difficulty of obtaining the item.

[Zagen]

You can clear all 5 zones of Dynamis long before you could end up seeing a Hairpin solo. Yugl went 30 days before finding a refresh augment you can clear dyna in 5.

How do you clear Dynamis solo? Sarcastic question but if you have a legit answer I'd like to be able to get THF gloves for my wife's THF without needing a group to help me clear the bosses.

EDIT: No point repeating myself, see previous post.

Reading some of the other job's manifesto thread responses, I've actually had a glimmer of hope that Diffusion (and I guess Convergence, to a lesser extent of usefulness) may be reduced to a 5min recast timer... anything on that, Reps?
