The Beast Within -- A Guide to Blue Mage
To answer your question, I believe when you're atk/acc capped, for tp, with the right augments, yes. Otherwise no, not sure if it would ever be better for WS.
I believe that the NQ Iuitl headpiece with DA+2 Augments beats out Whirlpool Mask in situations where acc/attk is capped?
Hey guys, would the skirmish 3 weapon with proper dmg+, ws+, da+ augments beat out anaheera? Does anyone have an idea?
If i remember correctly from earlier in the thread, it's pretty good, but it doesn't edge the AA sword out.

i can't see it beating anahera or bura because even if it gets 1-2 DA, it's still short the base stats, it's a decent offhand if you don't have both, but it's probably still easier to get bura and anahera than deal with the KI and pay out the nose for decent augments.

Might be some confusion here, I dont want to use it for Req WS I want to use it for TP set.
This is best current TP set from main page:
ItemSet 300240
So I want to know if the Iuitl Headgear +1 will replace whirlpool for TP in general. If it does replace it then does it replace it ONLY if perfect augments or period?
Sorry for the confusion.
Idle current set???
ItemSet 320315
Ideally would have da+2 on all the skirmish stuff.

Did I miss something major in my time leveling and gearing WHM?
I thought this was best in situations where you dont have max magic haste buffs and where accuracy isn't an issue.
ItemSet 295378
With possible Accuracy swaps being ~ "Letalis mantle" and "Hurch'lan Sash" for easy accuracy increases. Loose the neck for Peacock charm or the 4mil Accuracy Neck ~
Why remove Dual Wield pieces when you need Thur +1 hat and at least Suppa to cap Delay - even with max songs.
Because adding more dual wield reduces TP gain more than it increases it, especially when you also consider the loss of multiattack. The extra multihit is better now that haste is easily cappable with windbuffet belt. I've done the math and run multiple simulations to confirm this.
Izaatsu +2 beats Eminent Scimitar provided a decently high D+ augment as well as DA, but not Anahera or Buramenk'ah. Was kinda hoping it'd be comparable at least since Hume doesn't drop ***for me. Overall not worth any time investment due to the terrible KI drop rate and the cost of getting good enough augments compared to an hour getting sparks.

Stick to manibozho boots until you get some DA on Iuitl. You lose defensive stats, but you can stick iuitl on when you need the extra defense. i havent compared unaugmented iuitl and whirlpool, but i'd guess they're pretty similar when accuracy is capped.
Hrm, I just did tested diffusion with Luhlaza Charuqs (109) and it properly increased duration on Cocoon. Was it ninja-fixed or did I miss an announcement and people talking about it?
Would be awesome if someone could re-test the 119.

what are you on about
I think they're talking about the augment bonus.
There's no bonus tho, it's the same as it was at 99 for 109 and 119. None of the relic augments got any sort of buffs in the ilvl upgrade. Sucks, but meh. Guess 10 minute wails were too much to ask for
I misread your posts earlier, I thought you were saying that the augment on Luhlaza Charuqs was broken, and not enhancing it at all, not complaining that it wasn't enhancing it MORE than relic.
ah, nope. was just reporting/displaying my disappointment in SE's unwillingness to give me infinite haste ):
Indeed, I wish they'd up the duration on all our self-buffs, though, animating wail is one I probably really have no complaint about, in all honesty, but yeah would be nice to be able take care of the whole party's haste fulltime.

And then have the WHM overwrite our haste with 3 minute haste...happens all the time with our 5 min haste.
or have it dispelled, but still that isn't the point! we'd easily be the single greatest job that no one invites to anything of all time with a 10 minute haste. also 3 minute harden shell/nat. meditation would be nice too
[+]
Lol, true, but, if we were able to keep the party's haste up fulltime, hopefully the Whms wouldn't be hasting people randomly anyway.
And yeah, Barrier Tusk/Harden Shell/Cocoon/Nature's Meditation/Warm-Up/Orcish Counterstance/Feather Barrier and several others could all due with some enhanced durations.

also unbridled wisdom should have diffusion attached to it so everything you cast is diffused for its duration. i'd actually use it then
That would be neat.. I basically use it as a second Unbridled Learning for Absolute Terror on Scorpion ._. and that's about it.
While they're at it, make Pyric Bulwark not HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE, how about "Occasionally ignores physical damage, 10~15% for like 2~3 minutes."

I usually throw up haste at the beginning of a fight and let the WHM start overwriting after ~3 mins so there is no downtime. The earliest haste wears at around the 6min mark, and not a lot of fights are a full-on zerg for longer than that. It would be nice if it lasted longer, but there just aren't many useful ways to actually use diffusion because all the good buffs have such short durations.

Diffusion+Unbridled Learning+Carcharian Verve makes everyone cry...at how short it is.
Are Manibozho Legs the only source of Dex concerning ilvl pants for blu at the moment?
I'm sure I've overlooked something, but there's a lot of pants without dex atm x.x

They are indeed your only real option for BLU, SE seems to be afraid of giving blu (and dnc) anymore good +dex pants.
On the bright side, the time and plasm spent to rank15 the pants hasn't gone to waste because there is no easier or better options for +dex legs.
