Blu spells

[Jimmymagic]

So I've been leveling Blu and actually enjoying it for the most part.

That is until having to group up in Dragons Neck to get two spells Snort and 4 ton weight.

I'd like to know how in the world did people get these two spells. Had three different PF up yesterday and no dice on any. I don't see how all BLU could make this happen with the 100% learn rate.

We tried and failed many times. couldn't even get the bosses hp to 50% before wipe.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Oh and I have all the spells you can get up to that point via blu spell list on google

If people can clear savage content, they can probably clear the Dragons Neck... you are probably not very lucky.
Maybe a lack of coordination? (like deciding on who are the 2 BLU that will be tanking)
Check if you can do a party with your FC.

I tried asking fc but no one on at the time had blu either unlocked or at level 50. Also, on one of the many attempts we tried having a tank and could not hold agro at all. IN no way can you compare this to savage, you don't have standard rotations and rage check nadda. Also, very weak dps to boot

People have cleared a12s with all blue mages though.

I did them with a couple 80's and we took turns gettting the spells. No idea how a blue party would fare doing it.

Dragon's Neck has been one of the harder ones I've noticed for most groups. I've been taking my friends unsynced and just running it on repeat until they get it which made it way better

I successfully cleared Dragon's Neck and got 4-tonze weight but not snort. I am not sure why. The one I've had trouble with in synced groups is Shiva. In many of my attempts there has only been one tank which isn't really workable synced, since she stacks debuffs on the main tank that a second tank is supposed to take her so they drop off the first tank.

You could actually Solo Tank Shiva Ex back in the ARR days, the burn just needs to be there, which is a non-issue for BLU. The only issue of BLU solo tanking is a lack of mitigation options available. You have Diamondback but that just doesn't work for Shiva as she has plenty of mechanics that place Vuln stacks on you and while you could get away with maybe 1 Stack, more than that is just not possible, not to mention a missed timed Diamondback can quickly lead to your death, such as if i falls off just as she goes into Bow and you die to Glass Dance (seen this happen WAY too many times earning my own Glass Dance that I wanted to cry)

It CAN be done but I don't think its worth the hassle honestly.

To get Snort you need to kill Ultros first.
Typhoon will also do an AOE snort - that's the spell you want to see. Snort comes out very late in the fight and even when going in with low DPS, usually you will have to stop DPSing to see Snort.

Pretty sure Ultros wasn't dead when Ty used Snort, the time I learned it.

Snort DOES come VERY late in the fight, though, well after the second spinning fungah. It's all-too easy to kill the pair before Ty ever uses it.
