The Beast Within -- A Guide to Blue Mage
150 VIT at least is probably way too low. Tutu has 175ish for reference.
Pushing VIT and AGI up to 250 each lowers avg dmg to 4141 with all buffs/debuffs and removes the need for boost-str
190 to 200 would be my guess but only a pup could find out for sure .
Having gone BLU to Delve bosses your number looks vastly inflated.
Having gone BLU to Delve bosses your number looks vastly inflated.
Likely that it could have more than 1500DEF, or something else. the numbers also ignore DT phases
Toto starts around 2000( Mote estimated 1900 )
Would explain it then, since anything over 3k for Requie relies on capping attack. You can easily see the impact by looking at the numbers with DEF debuffs/buffs removed, particularly angon. 2300DEF 200VIT puts avg Requie at 3421 with all buffs and debuffs, 2309 without box step, 1897 without angon, 1618 with neither.
it may seem pedantic to ask but how much does triumphant roar cut into DOT due to the duration?
Triumphant Roar is a positive boost in DPS all the way up to capped delay reduction.
HP is a huge issue though .
Also BLU can either DT or TP . If you are going DT every time you take damage on bosses you're pretty much not doing damage so the lack of hybrid options and low HP combine into A beautiful mess.
DEF down is prevalent as well and cocoon does not overwrite it so that is another problem.
If they gave more set points and made defensive spells like Barrier Tusk not have shitty cast times and duration it would vastly improve BLU viability. BLU is good at taking damage and dealing it out, but cannot really handle both simultaneously in this type of fight so you can either turtle up and wonder why you aren't on MNK or say *** it , eat 5m in Panaceas and hope the DPS difference keeps it facing anyone but you!

Certainly not trying to say that BLU replaces anything, in case that wasn't clear. Just posting sets and numbers for those who may be interested. I'll be going SAM or MNK to big boss NMs for the foreseeable future.
I know you weren't I was just providing information to the inevitable experimentalist in the lurking row.
find me my last murasamemaru cell pls tnx
Soooo, first day back after 2 months in hiatus, and I get a Buramenk'ah.
Is it worth buying the 30k plasm sword for offhand right away aswell? Or should I just keep using my STR sword? (40 base dmg is alot..)

If you like BLU, I'd say yes. Get it and with upgrades it smokes STR sword.
With the new STR / DEX wouldn't Buremte Gloves be the best hands for pretty much all our WS's?

31 DEX (23.25 acc) from DEX and another 20 regular acc means you don't need to consider much acc in other slots. 26 MND for req, and still has 9 STR. Hell these might even be the best TP hands if they let you build differently.

Combined with the cap just makes me say UNGGGGGGH (UNGGGGGGH)
Na-nah na-nah (na-nah na-nah) those pair are fing insane....
Not sure if others have asked this or not but are there any decent skillchains that can be done with realmrazer? I know of heavy strike...
Realmrazor is Fusion / Impaction so you just need one that is Fragmentation to make light.
Realmrazer > Sub-zero Smash
Realmrazer > Ram Charge
Realmrazer > Heavy Strike
Realmrazer > Tourbillion
Not really much in the way good skillchains other than HS.

So I've just gotten 5/5 Naakual KI and wondering what to pick, mostly between Tamaxchi or Buremte Gloves. Any idea if Realmrazer with Tamaxchi beats the Delve Club? I don't see myself getting Buramenk'ah anytime soon lol

But since both of those drops are from the tree, you could spam the tree til you get one and then just quest the other. That way you have both with the least effort.

Tama's damage is only 88 so I'm sure that'll be a factor.

ok maybe this is a dumb question, but does anyone on the test server have any idea how blue magic will be influenced by the new stats on the weapons?
I have the delve sword and club, and I have looked at the stats on the new weapons and stuff, and they look great. I just don't understand how those stats, specifically sword skill and club skill affect blu magic.
I could have sworn I saw a post from Matsui saying that only the new WK club taxwhatever would affect blu magic until next update august 6th. I just don't understand how, it has club skill and mnd, and most spells don't have mind as a modifier, at least not the ones I normally use.
If anyone can help me I would appreciate it.

So is the Mondaha cudgel really that good in mainhand? Guess it ends up being realm vs req
Halachuinic Sword
DMG:104 Delay:228
Accuracy+6 Attack+5
Sword skill+162 Parrying skill+162
Mondaha Cudgel
DMG:130 Delay:340
MP+30 INT+5 MND+10
Accuracy+18 Magic Accuracy+58
Club skill+153 Parrying skill+153
Guess the question is should I drop 30k on the club next? I have the Hal. Sword.

I'm pretty sure it's the combat skill on your main hand weapon that affect your physical blue spells. I'm using a Tamaxchi at the moment and it gives a pretty good boost to the damage of those spells, as well as accuracy.

The goal should be the delve mb sword. Otherwise Club and realm is good damage when ur not superbuffed. Only issue I have with realm is its 8 hits. Nature of percentages means ur gonna be missing a hit or two quite often. It also precludes MA from procing
