Heey all,
I got my girlfriends Black mage to 50 a couple of weeks ago. (told in an earlier thread she is sick and cannot play often, bonus points to the guy who told me of twitch and serviio).
She is mainly gathering and crafting atm to earn money for Vanya gear since she absolutely despises the AF gear. Being busy with that I thought of a few unanswered questions regarding the BLM.
1. Manawall/ward. What's the use of these? I mean, I use them during Ifrit's hellfire etc. But what does it actually block? I know manawall works against pure physical attacks, but is it worth using against special attacks of some HM primals etc?
2. Aetherial Manipulation. Does anyone use it? I rather run since even if I made some sort of mouseover macro it takes more time to find a partymember ( or hover over the list) then to just activate run and go. Perhaps it is good to use with a focustarget macro?
3. Speaking of Focustarget, do blackmages actually need it and what macro do you use for that?
4. A gear question. Since I know mostly what I want to fill I can manage just fine. However, my girlfriend likes the classical BLM more. That being the Blue garb with the yellow pointy hat. She also likes to carry a shield (although I will be playing with relic+1).
Thus, she want the vanya hat/chest and a Darksteel buckler. I have actually no clue how to optimally meld those though. Anyone have any idea?
Thanks in advance for your help!
