How hard is it to play a Blue

[Mirage]

Sandspin, you mean? Don't bother. Besides, enemies can only use TP moves (all blue magic are considered TP moves when used by monsters) if they gain TP. If they are not physically hitting you, and you are not physically or magically hitting them, they are not gaining TP and will therefore not use TP moves.

Keeping out of range of a worm and wait for it to use sandspin won't help, for example. Sandspin isn't exactly an important spell to know so you can just skip it. You will definitely learn it later whenever you join an exp party in abyssea latheine.

Not important at all, not like it's 100% land rate under normal conditions making it good skill up spell option.

Heh Finally one casted SS and with my luck i didn't learn it... Arghhhhh lol

You'll have good days and bad days but in the end it's totally worth it.

You're correct in that it is 100%, but if you're skilling up, your physical spells will probably be damned near capped hitrate, making sandspin only 5% more accurate. I mean it never hurts having it, but I wouldn't spend time trying to get that particular spell, cause the time saved from it while skilling up could easily be eaten up by the time it takes to learn it.

So yeah, not really important .

You should have checked the OP's character, also you should never assume everyone has capped sword before touching BLU.

Another spell you should work on getting is Bludgeon it's great damage at lower levels and because of it's relatively low damage cap (300-400 or so) it's often a good spell at higher levels for feeding TP (30 TP if all hits land).

Alpheus' tip on /RDM is good, if you find your Dia/2s doing 0 damage you can switch to Stone which can't do 0 damage under normal circumstances.
