    This reads like something someone who never did a normal mode raid would say.
    Theyre actually talking about an exploit whereby if you die literally right at the start of a fight and release, the game teleports you back into the fight when you res at the dungeon start. So yeah the only way self destruct is a gain is an exploit

    not sure if its an exploit, because only blue can take advantage of it, and blu is made to break things. This is why the class, is not supposed to be in the endgame, it has a number of things which are kinda broken.







    Its also worth it if its going to end the fight, or its more damage than you can do otherwise.


    ending a moonflute combo with self destruct, well for regular dungeoons, it takes about 3 blue mages selfdestructs to kill a boss, so basically you only have to get 80%, however if you are talking about other more hardcore encounters, lets just say a level 50 blue can do 30k with self destruct combo. so, basically, if there are 5 of us, thats 150k.



    just now, on turn 4 nael, that looks to be about 3-5% health. that means 15-25% health can be done to a high end boss. thats a signifigant portion of his final health pool, which is generally when a boss is at their most dangerous.
