Charged Whisker

and it seems love torque isn't too bad for that honestly..it took 10 MAB in the neck slot to only beat your dmg by 100....crazy

My cw usually does anywhere from 5.4k-5.8k without set procs. I'll see what my consistent damage is when I'm actually home. My set isn't optimal yet either, missing af hands+2, morrigan's body.
I use blindinghorn/lion/ultimate.

But what I suggest is using Hecate's Cape for a back piece vs dex mantle. And maybe teal body(using until I get morrigans) vs loki.

didn't you guys say though, that lion only really gave the "thunder day/weather bonus"? Does that stack with the obi? and do you only do it when its thunderdays? Or does Lion also give thunder potency+? (Pretty sure I don't have that atma is why I ask lol)

You're thinking of the other atma, Atma of the Lion is Thunder element attack Major.

i'm confused, what does this have to do with what i said?

I use Atma of Lion, Atma of Blinding Horn, and Atma of the ultimate since time and time again it has proved to be most beneficial for my setup.

Without tonic and good Dom op/Resistance bonus I can easily do 5.7~5.9k, 6.1-6.6k with tonic and upwards of 9.6k with set proc. From the spreadsheet I have with CW equation if I take out Loki's +11 dex in exchange for 5mab 8int there isn't a huge difference. Projected dmg had a difference of ~7 in favor of Morrigan's robe. However, the additional 1mp/tic makes it nicer. Sadly I still need my 15 (easy) and 25 piece to finish it off.

However, if (and this is a big if) set-bonus activates Morrigan's becomes less beneficial to use over loki just because of how set-bonus affects spells (nearly 100 dmg difference in favor of loki). Though, I seriously doubt anyone will take possible e-penery over consistent dmg if given the choice.

Here's an SS from my latest CW burn.



Atmas: Lion, Blinding Horn, Ultimate.
Lightningsday, No weather/day gear, Waxing Gibbous (69%)
Ascetic's Tonic up, Enervation used.

And this is the exact Gear i used:


This is what the Demon's ring looked like:


**Edit**: Whenever i didnt have a tonic up/and or it wasnt lightningsday, i was pulling off a consistant 6k+ ALWAYS with just the normal Memento Mori/Enervation.

*Edited*


I was thinking along the lines of this. Granted obviously Atma of the Lion/Blinding Horn/Ultimate and the best demon's ring with Magic Attack Bonus you could get. I'm not sure what the proc rate for the augment of blue mage spells is but I'm sure that even if it's 10-30% full set that it still will make it worth it over time. I don't have all of this set but I think this would be near ideal. Thoughts?

indra staff can't be used by blu

Good call didn't catch that fixing.

Head youa re better off w/ Aias bonnet(BA up) or teal(BA down). Banking on the set bonus proc isn't that reliable.

Can't use indra's staff and I am not sure that the set will pay out in the end since you aren't spamming CW its just once and then waiting. You also should use a different belt for the same reason you don't really need the haste when you are one shoting the mobs.

Penitents or the 7 DEX sash for BA up is good for belt

Yeah can swap belt around I figured that was not the best option. 50% modifier for DEX/INT. Didn't know how the set would work out in the end if I was one shotting mobs it wouldn't be necessary but on the other-hand if not then having it there for recasts is nice. Not that it really matters much since Dream Flower keeps them slept for a nice amount of time.

Other thought has anyone confirmed if Magic Critical Hit factors in at all? Would defeat the purpose of a Wise strap even though there's really not much else that can be put there as of yet other than Lightning Grip which in Abyssea meh...

If you are BA the Spear strap is wonderful, under BA it takes 2INT to equal the amount of damage 1 DEX will provide, so it would be like having a 6 INT grip.

Proc rate is awful on set, around 5%. Get a better head, body, Belt (seriously df), and Ammo.

Like others have said, proc rate on set bonus is very very low percent. Over time you would do more damage putting in dex pieces such as Loki's and Aias bonnet, or Morrigans robe and Maats cap to get the most out of Charged whisker. Took me weeks of doing TE burns twice a week to even see a proc out of set bonus using hands/feet/legs in my set.

My current set, needs some upgrades like ammo piece and hands. This usually gets the job done with a one hit kill with SoundBlast + Ascetic'sTonic/MementoMori + Enervation. (Lion|BlindingHorn|Ultimate)



Hope this helps anyone looking for alternate gear possibilities!

I love you.

Lolll y u no plus wan my post?! Jk

Though I should let you know Enervation wears off too fast sometimes when using MementoMori after (MementoMori lasts 30 sec iirc). Try to stick with Soundblast > MementoMori > Enervation. MementoMori is basically the same as Ascetic'sTonic, but without magic accuracy. For all the new people also, don't forgot to equip AF3 feet before using BA D:!!! and don't change feet gear until the ability is used or you lose the bonus :(

you'd be crazy to cast in other feet anyways..those things are beastly for magical dmg blu lol

This is true but as long as youre not buffing like a grandpa you should be fine. I fit in memento > enervation > 1-2 fantods

So why has no one been using Morgana's Cotehardie? It seems to do a lot better than Teal body imo. Finally got my hands on one today, camping ah for the past 2 weeks. >.>;

Because Loki's/Morrigan's is better

(m.acc not being an issue)... really? that dex boost beats that mass MAB?

The way i see it is, When gearing for CW you need to gear for DEX since you arent running a DEX atma.. or rather, you shouldnt be. There are some pieces that are obviously meant for MAB in said spot (novio, hecates). The atmas you use make up the MAB while your actual gear should be focused on DEX.

I don't mean to discourage the idea of trying it though, if you manage to produce some nice numbers while using the cotehardie please post an SS ^^

Just another BA+CW set.

Using this one now:


I'm lacking a better grip (the +3 DEX is never on AH)
+2 Hands
+2 Feet
and Atma of Ultimate..


With Atma's of Lion/Blinding Horn/ and RR I was topping near 5200 damage from the Monitors in Abys-Grau. I haven't tested this on chigoe's and I was actually 1-shotting them before I got my Thundersoul ring and Hecates earring using the same atma's.
(I wonder if Atma of Beyond or the other Magic Attack+ atma's replacing RR would be better, haven't tested yet)

I have blinding horn and lion...but not ultimate atm...so wht would be a respetcable atma? MM, beyond, baying moon, or RR?
