Blue mage Job adjustments

[Olor]

in wildskeeper bee last night was first time I've cast a lot in awhile... darn bee is so hard to hit I was just spamming delta thrust cause at least I'd get 500-1400 damage depending on how many hits landed, wasn't set up at all for it, accidentally had on lolwhm sub, which ironically ended up being helpful because poisona once my WHM trusts died... a stack of antidotes or two with a real sub probably would have been better but, w/e it all worked out.

Anyway I really want our older spells like this to be given the boost they deserve - it could give us a bit of a boost overall. And/or let our physical spells also get boosts from +magic damage and MAB.... would be nice to have several ways of making them stronger.

It was only possible to play this way (of course) cause I had moogle out, would be nice for BLU to get some more DD gear that also has refresh on it - lack of refresh just makes using magic as a blu even more difficult.

You can tank with blu mage , yes, however when I trio box the shark it would be nice to have more enmity + moves as blu main so that way the shark does not run around and hit the healer... Again with no voke it's hard to tank for a party, and spamming blue magic is not considered voking

When they revamped enmity for all other jobs' spells they left out blu, which their reason was that they thought blu should be able to tank at times too. It would be nice to receive some spells like nin received last update, though better versions. One for hate loss like high jump and another for hate gain - provoke. This way we can tank or not tank.

Actually it is possible just by not using all delve or reforged gears to do it but the same gears also regen tick at night which is also nice for blu to have cure themselves less with regen ticks. I seen Stamos on my server with both major regan and refresh with these gears: {Head Gear}-Spurrina coif with an augment of Refresh +2 which drops from legion battlefield, {Body}-LuhLaza Jubbah +1, {Back}- Kumbira Cape, {Hands}-Serpentes cuffs, {Feet}-Serpentes sabots, {Ring #1}- Sheltered Ring, {Ring #2}-Paguroidea Ring, {Neck}-Wiglen Gorget for his Regan & Refresh set up on his Blue Mage. Now if your curious to what it is that he is wearing for the rest of the gears, they are: {Belt}-Flume Belt, {Legs}-Blood cuisses augmented with "Mag .Def .Bns"+5 and "Fast Cast+5", {Earring #1}-Brutal Earring, {Earring #2}-Colossus's Earring, {Ammo slot}-Iron Gobbet, {Main Hand Weapon}-Anahera saber, {Sub hand Weapon}-Buramenk'ah.

Now what I like about the Mavi Body and Mavi Hands for blue mages magic casting that the Reforges and other gears don't have on it is this: {Body}-Blue Magic Casting Time -12% and on the {Hands}-Blue Magic Recast Delay -12% which shortens the casting time and then the delay wait time to be casting blue magic spell's and i wish they will include this into the reforges in the future or at least make it possible to include further augments on the Reforged Artifact+1/Reforged-Relic+1's or higher in the future for value'ability in blue mages use!

What are your thought's on it??

You don't seem to really have a grasp on how enmity works. BLU has a few spells with high VE and CE, negating a need for provoke which provides only VE. Hell, Jettatura alone provides more than half the VE of Provoke along with a chunk of CE, not to mention other BLU spells that build a lot more CE than other stuff out there. I'm guessing you're unaware PLD/BLU is a thing?

Anyone that thinks the ability to tank hinges on access to Provoke has quite a long way to go. Capping enmity on any job combination is childs' play, and BLU also happens to have several high VE+CE spells to make it even easier.

Even more refresh if he offhanded Bolebunga (sp?) Delve II club with refresh on it, or a step further, can BLU use Owleyes? Probably not. How about Moonshade earring augmented with refresh (although he would have to be disengaged for latent to be active).

Well maybe but don't forget you also want both dmg and magic damage output as well, even with all of the refresh and regan setup gears and LE's usually the same as occasionally activities but also does have the ability to not activate at all which I'd rather have something that is always there in use rather then attempting to use an item matching possibly hard requirements for it to even function as close to even usable.

Now when they finally do Reforges coming out for Empereon/Abby armor gears and weapons some time in the future and for blue mages Mavi Reforged set specially, I would like to see them put quite a bit of refresh and regen on each piece as well as upgrades to the Blue Magic Casting Time -number% and Recast Delay -%{Minus Number of percentage down-time} and also have haste% and all pieces of mavi and some where fast cast as an additional on the gears could be nice too. Now the only gears of the mavi set that never got covered with an upgrade such as the mavi tathlum and the mavi earring getting a +1 and +2 would be nice as well as maybe include it in the reforges would be good too. well I know a few like to see blue mage gears get double attack and enhances dualwield effect on them as well!
what would you see implemented into the blue mavi gear reforges??

I think we were given spells like Paralyzing Triad and Delta Thrust to keep up with the pace of battle and not impact MP like the 100MP~tier spells. I could warrant spamming those spells if the additional effect worked against high level enemies because it just doesn't. The only benefit I see to that is on very very high evasion enemies the physical spells are far more reliable than the sword whiffs when you don't have reliable accuracy stacked on.

I have a wonderful idea of the enmity system due to libra,,
Try it out sometime ( blu bard scholar). Try using 1 blu spell and then see how much that spell gains by using libra..

Blu does not have ANY magics that are voke

Dont argue with me about enmity 、argue with SE about giving YOU access to see enmity values better

[Metaking]

pld/blu is super tanking mostly, easily the best combo for the person holding the extra AA's during Dm, also useful in AA hume during the last 30% since it stop brazen rush cdc from having a chance to 1 shot. On the subject of jetta, or any debuff spell for that matter, land or resisted the enmity is still generated, aka a pld can cast flash on a light ele, which will resist it, but will still get full hate from using flash. Now the reason you dont see as many plds use it over war is because it takes a lot more skill to sub blu than war, and is has a decently hefty mana upkeep, but for long fights if you can keep the pld(or run) in mana, they will actually make the monster look at them sometimes unlike the /war who will get ignored almost completely when enmity caps
