Delta Thrust aside, it might be very close on a few magical spells and Sanguine Blade, but that's really just a personal thing because I've been unlucky with Yamabuki-no-Obi. That said, Latria isn't something I'd be looking for specifically; it's more of a "hey....well I wanted X, but I guess this isn't total garbage, yay -1 inventory."

Mighty Guard - Increases own defense, magic defenses, attack speed, and gradually restores own HP.

25% def boost, 30 regen, 299 MP. Lasted 3 minutes, 27 seconds with 15 JP in ULII category, so 3 minute base duration. Don't know values on magic defense and attack speed yet.

Enchainment's incapability with Efflux kills much of its potential usefulness.

well didn't expect it to be that good at all. should be able to fulltime, or nearly fulltime, that with diffusion duration buffs. gg. makes other ul spells even less valuable

The attack speed looks like 15% magic haste. Don't know how to go about testing the magic defense, so someone else can do it!

Also it's its own special buff, so you can stack those with other defense, regen and haste spells.

if I had to guess it probably adds 25mdb

this spell is effectively a nigh on fulltimeable embrava thats arguably superior to embrava. guess it has one downside: it can probably be dispelled

Was gonna test on Colkhab but not up. Any other mobs that enjoy dispelling?

Edit: Nvm, just gonna go with Velkks.

Well, the fact that we learn this from a god is exceedingly fitting, I'd say.

BST is dead. Long live BLU.

velkks

honestly my only complaint here is we'll almost never get to use any other ul spells again. they should make it charge based

Wow.

This really means SE didn't think we are the strongest already.

I'm not complaining since people still can't figure out how to play this job at all for some reason.

That and I remember having to try and fight to come to Delve on BLU instead of them just getting a MNK back in the day.

People will be forever stupids; I still occasionally have issues getting into a melee slot on BLU.

Yeah, RIP Carcharian and Harden Shell. I will never be able to justify them again outside of exceptionally niche situations.

Verve is still an amazing spell if you are nuking due to the Aquaveil.

Yeah, the Aquaveil has always been that spell's (invaluable) appeal.

Verve is still a pretty pre-battle cast because of its long duration. I don't see why both Verve and Might Guard can't be used.

I have issues all the time, but it might just be Asura. Then again when you join a SR with another Tizona BLU that is spamming sudden lunge and using hysteric barrage, you can understand why people don't know to invite BLU.
Every other BLU I have invited is terribad 90+% of the time. Even with Draylo around to help fill that 10%.
which side of the line am i on?!

Damn that was some quick response haha. Yes, Carcharian is still our go-to for that sweet, sweet aquaveil. I just always used Carcharian, regardless of the situation, so now I can't justify it for melee.

this. unless you're already capping haste youre giving up too much just for an aquaveil. if you're doing aoe cp pulls or one of the fights that requires close range nuking then sure, aquaveil away, but the usage of any ul spell that isnt mighty guard is going to be miniscule, which is sad since it means a ton of wasted spells

Is the regen effect enhanced by Telchine augments or is it its own effect all together with other buffs?

Edit for auto correct bs.

I'm lost on Diffusion. It is suppose to lengthen the time your AoE'ed buffs offer, right? I keep sitting on a 5min duration of Erratic Fluffer.
