Note to Mages

[Valefor4life]

I've notice that in Nyzul whenever we get those can't cast magic detrimental floors we always have a blue mage with us.

I dont know with u guys but since the dawn of me being a mage (like 1st day i went playing) i did everything i could to get all spells. Was a damn hell at the beginning of the game bc pro IV and ShelL IV were a pain bc it was 'worth' alot of gill.... but my blm brd rdm and whm had all the spells when i was 75, really... ALL spells, even stupid foolish AM I u never use bc of MP cost and the damn 20 sec u need to cast one o.o . but i had it all!

then... ofc i have started levelin my blu and never used it before i had all proc spells to actually go and proc some shit for events. took some time and effort (esp of my THF boyfriend xD, tank yes please!), but i got most spells now ^^ i'd say about 90% (my boy just gets annoyed by times so we farm blu spells in time frames ;P)

what i want to state is that at least i got/had common sense not to go to some pt wihtout having all spells. i so try my boyfriend to get some whm spells (he is anti whm but he is blm for life.... so blm/whm aint so bad for some procing D:..... thats why i always end up blm/whm bc of the anti whm ways of him @.@ which works great actually! hehe ;D ) but with not a lot of success yet :P tho his rdm is more like 'i fell asleep in a abyssea pt' that i organized (fell asleep too :3, but aint leeching ;P OK OK cruor leeching )

oh and maybe something for some ppl who like to know; u CAN proc on /brd and i had to proc a fire threnody on a water mob! got the SS to prove if people want ot see it ^.^/ i went blu/brd (yes only for proc purposes! lol xD) and it worked!
Here is the clue: u dont even need the macc drink to get it stick, nope u dont ;D i had some CHR blu spells set on the empy points i had left =) but i dont think that was the sufficient part of it; i had load load load loadsss of macc and chr gear on! like a aquilo staff and some chr+10 pants from brygid quest from altepa ;D (YUS! a blu/brd with subligar ;D) and i got it all friggin proc'd!

and u know what D: ? people call me a bad brd bc i cant proc a thunder threnody (earth elemental) on a earth day on a mob HIGHLY resistant to earth T_T yes i couldnt proc it T_T but here i prove i can! harhar ;P so yea it was like *U, i can proc on /brd so i can also on brd. the damn NM was just immune, HAD to be immune to earth or else i cant do /brd procs on a water strong NM >/<

here is a pic for the lovers

**the pic i show here is a lighting threnody on a water mob, but i also had to do a water elemental based threnody (fire threnody) on it to proc, and did work to... altho took alot more tries ^.^' (hence i said: ok it works.. was first proc on /brd ) **

I'm a SCH the only BLM spells I cannot proc are Ancient Magic and T3 ga, so what you are saying is that I shouldn't even volunteer to go fight a NM I NEED because I cannot use those spells? Some BS.

Things like that is the reason why many people get the shaft when It comes to fighting NMs.

Wouldnt say you cant volunteer but unless the group cant get a blm dont expect to be accepted. Naturally any party wants to be successfull at what they set out to do and blm gives them a greater chance at that, in that instance

This is exactly the reason why I hate being a SCH sometimes.. If you're not a WHM you're SOL, if you're not a BLM you're SOL, if you're not a MNK, NIN or THF you will get nowhere. F***ing drag I tell you.

I would add WAR to that list, but yeah...Abbyssea gave alot of jobs the shaft. In situations where yellow trigger isnt needed I can see use. It's pugs where you'll have the most trouble. I usually tank on NIN and iv'e had a sch come main heal many times and be very satisfied. Of course the sch in question has other jobs and is part of my ls. If you were on my server i'd pearl ya as we always have enough jobs to cover triggers. Best of luck

The ONLY spells you can't proc? That's HALF of the BLM spells. Of course u wouldn't get invited to proc spells when you could only do it 1/2 the time.

Exactly my point, it's unfair to exclude others because of their jobs/what SE gives them Spell wise, besides, half the time in a Random shout its usually never BLM spells that do proc.

You have all the spells you can cast for triggers, you're fine. The topic is more about blm who didn't bother to get their -ga / AM spells, nins and /nin without their ni nukes / kurayami: ni, blu without the proper spells for triggers, brds without threnodies, whm and /whms without flash / banishes / holy. The same applies melee who don't have weapons or weaponskills for blue or red triggers.

I forgot about WAR but yeah I understand it just kinda sucks.

I have a Abyssea LS but I wont be able to go like I used to back then with college starting.

On topic, I've known people to burn their Mage jobs like BLM and BLU to 90 and couldn't afford the spells or didn't have the skills to learn them.

Though I know a BLU who was only missing a few BLU spells to proc and was having a hard time learning them, not because he didn't have the skill. on the contrary, he made sure he capped every level he gain and paused his XP [parties because he was afraid to be gimp.

BLU spells are a pain to learn sometimes, its all luck and what not. I remember spending a whole week trying to get a friend to learn Frenetic Rip and he was at the level and skills to learn it but he was super duper unlucky.
