Silly Blue Mage Solos at 70

[MsQi]

But the casuals told me that BLU sucks

Don’t blame me, they’re your friends.

I got it from a levequest in Southern Thanalan solo at level 21 heh. Then you can use it to solo Ifrit Story mode for Eruption. BLU is totally OP at low levels, it's just not OP in the way most people think.

[Vyrerus]

Speaking of, though, since I didn't expect to see this thread on the front page of general again, I went ahead and compiled a playlist of every solo that I bothered to upload. Highlights include:

Dropping to 1 HP soloing Galvanth the Dominator without Basic Instinct.

Soloing the Tunnel Worm in Cutter's Cry.

Soloing the Locksmith in Aurum Vale without spells not acquireable solo by a BLU level 47 and lower.

Soloing the Zu specifically for Sonic Boom and Frenzied Whatever without Diamondback

Alte Roite + Halicarnassus + Exdeath

My friend sent me a video posted yesterday by The Sword Saint.

Rathalos Extreme Solo by The Sword Saint

It's pretty cool! They use Final Sting to kill Rathalos in a single down, and I also learned an assumption I had was wrong. Nightbloom and Phantom Flurry don't share a recast \o/

Also neat to see that each hit of Matra Magic counts as a full GCD hit for the purposes of the down meter, raising it by 12 with each cast. That means they could have killed it even faster!

I've been doing dungeons for fun. I just started a video series on it too, and I guess a shameless plug is okay here?

Click me.

I don't know if I'll take this to the extremes other people do. I'm sick and I'm not getting any better. But I really like problem solving some of these pulls.

I'm really happy to see other BLUs doing stuff like this. You guys rock.

Thank you Vyrerus, I didn't expect my name would appear in official forum.
This is Isshin aka The Sword Saint.

Except Rathalos Extreme Solo by The Sword Saint
I also soloed Lakshmi (Extreme) but with 25% ECHO

My channel was an archive for my vods until I uploaded these two videos which I received countless encouragements. Now I'm uploading regularly including some unique funny content.

A lot of individuals can't wrap their mind around what a "limited" job is. It's too bad, really.

I'm pretty sure all the caterwauling has killed any chance of there being any more limited jobs introduced in the future.

Personally, I'd love to see more.

They (SE) were quite into the idea and beast master got a lot of build up in the game. I think they might do it.

But yeah the casuals crying every 5 minutes has put a dampener on what is probably the most fun side content in the game.

Don’t see why these guys can’t just log in weekly, do their raids and their custom Deliveries then afk in limsa without making threads about how all the content sucks while not actually having a BLU or stepping foot in Bozja. If they had their way every patch would just be glamours for their ERP.

So, it's been a few days, and normally I would keep quiet about something like this and not revive the thread, but I really feel compelled to share this. I'm really proud!

I beat Tsukuyomi solo with Silence Echo turned on. c:

Boop #1.

Boop #2.

Edit: The images are links because they're huge. I hope that's okay?

I died two or three times. It was heartbreaking. But that's why the timer is like eee.

The 9:50 at the end is because the timer changed after duty completion. It didn't take me 40 seconds to DPS 23% of her health. It took 6 minutes.

It was my first clear, and I wasn't expecting to actually clear it, so no video right now.

Very Cool! I knew it was possible after seeing the 10% Echo one, and then learning some more things about BLU. I'm still trying my luck at getting past the DPS check in O12 normal myself.

Actually it's quite likely the complaints about BLU are why it's in a better spot now. It wasn't whining, it was legitimate feedback and it was much needed considering how many flaws BLU had both on release and with the lv60 patch. Things like how poor its solo potential was or how the majority of its spells were exact potency copies with different elements or how it had literally no use outside of the Carnival, which gave no decent rewards.

Thanks to that feedback, BLU is finally starting to have potential. It can finally solo things, it received a wide range of fun and powerful skills and it's seeing use in things like FATEs, speed dungeons for moogle tomes or the alliance raid step for the relic. It has a long way to go and it's rather a shame it didn't receive a few more decent rewards to go for this patch, but it's a start.
