I am very close to getting 85 Almace and after reading the "CDC is it worth it?" thread, I noticed that BLU gameplay changes with CDC. You don't spend as much time spamming spells and spend more time melee. What is your opinions on the best set of spells to maximize DD and Aftermath uptime?

Store TP, DA, attack bonus traits are all good to set with Almace.

Thanks for the quick replies. I am working on spell sets and I am having trouble fitting all the spells I am wanting into those 55 spell points. I was wondering more of a list of what you guys use and what sacrifices/comprimises you make for your spell sets?

Generally I set:

Disseverment
Benthic Typhoon
Delta Thrust

As my primary physical spells. Don't really need more than that. If points permit, however:

Head Butt (If I need to stun something that it actually lands on, I generally set this)
Whirl of Rage (Same as above, the damage isn't terrible either)
Vanity Dive
Quad. Continuum (Uncommon)

Then, depending on who's in my party:

Animating Wail (If no WHM or RDM that knows how to haste properly, which is very frequent)
Battery Charge (As above)
Magic Fruit (Always)
Occultation (Almost always)
Cocoon (If I have an extra point to blow)
Triumphant Roar (I try to set this as often as possible, but it isn't always on my list.)

As for traits:
Acrid Stream + Empty Thrash for DA (Always)
Winds of Promy. + Actinic Burst for Auto Refresh (Always)
Goblin Rush + Benthic Typhoon for Skillchain Bonus (As often as possible)

I never find myself setting Store TP or Attack bonus. Often, I keep 5 of my 55 points clear for a proc spell.

Overall my favorite list is:

Disseverment
Benthic Typhoon
Delta Thrust
Goblin Rush
Vanity Dive
Whirl of Rage (Can switch out this and Vanity if I wanted to set QC)
Triumphant Roar
Occultation
Magic Fruit
Animating Wail
Battery Charge
Empty Thrash
Acrid Stream
Actinic Burst
Winds of Promy.

and 5 extra points for proc.
