Blue Mage Magic Sets
I went through lot's of forums, and really I am just looking at some spell/trait sets for Magic Builds (Subduction Farming?) and gear sets for it specifically to see what people are using. I am still pretty new to Blue Mage, so just trying to learn as much as possible before I start blowing all my money on augments and gear I don't need. So if anyone would be interested to share gear sets for Magic Damage builds, and so fourth I would appreciate it! Thanks!
There's a ton of info in the Main blu guide and the later pages of the posts on it. The guide is slightly outdated on a couple of points but for the most part is pretty solid on sets.
I would start by reading over that and then search the thread for more specific info. I can probably provide my stuff here in a bit. ItemSet 335979
My personal subduction and most other nuke gearset. All the Hagondes has magic attack bonus on it, and the clubs are augmented along path A. My spellset I use for AoE cleaving (usually for yorcia avullion skirmish, but I use this set for other things too) is: Rending Deluge Delta Thrust Temporal Shift Retinal Glare Whirl of Rage Barbed Whisker Sinker Drill Actinic Burst Thermal Pulse Occultation Subduction Erratic Flutter Battery Charge Magic Fruit Winds of Promy Magic Hammer Cocoon I use this for yorcia alluvion skirmish because it provides you with provides you with enough nukes to take out any elemental (if it resists subduction, you use one of the other nukes), and you got temporal shift/whirl of rage for aoe stuns, and sinker drill for the physical stuff. If you need other stuff like a sleep, and subduction works for everything you're nuking, take out, say rending deluge for dream flower, and pack in something else with the extra points (like amplification if you need more MATK). Sub /RDM, which gives you convert, magic atk trait II, fast cast II, some defensive buffs like phalanx and stoneskin. Magic hammer works well to keep your MP up if whatever you're fighting has MP. Just was looking at Gabaxorea vs Nehushtan. Is Gabaxorea better due to the lack of M.Acc Skill on the Skirmish weapon?
Also Thanks Sabi! Sekundes, I swear I've been sifting through that topic, and I really didn't see anything specific. I saw a few comments but nothing about updated traits, and newest gear for Magic. I know Hagondes is still pretty solid though. Not a mathematician, but I think the magic acc skill+, and some of the other stats outweighs the potential for Nehushtan, plus you have to burn potentially more money on the A. Skirmish club than on airlixir +2s for Gabaxorea. It's cheaper to get better results for gabaxorea, and I don't know even with perfect augments if nehushtan can equal or surpass it. If you can get the Nibiru Cudgel from Escha, though, and augment it for magic attack bonus, that has even more potential than gabaxorea, the stats on it look nice PLUS AUGMENTS, but it's a lot harder to get a group for that than for delve. Plus you'd probably need a shitload of eschalixirs to upgrade it all the way. You'd need a dedicated group for that.
Alright, took care of my gabaxorea yesterday. If I could just get hagondes to roll mab+. /cry
Thanks for the info. That will really get me stayed in the right direction. I had no idea of some of that gear from escha. Might have to look at that when I finish some other stuff. Asura.Sabishii said: » Barbed Whisker Barbed Crescent paired with Delta Thrust for Dual Wield I

Need these clubs and don't want to spend 300k plasm for 2 of em if I can kill this buffalo. lhova said: » is Cherti soloable on either Thf or Blu with trusts? Need these clubs and don't want to spend 300k plasm for 2 of em if I can kill this buffalo. Nope, but it's fairly easy to trio. It randomly changes damage type vulnerability every 10% health between melee, ranged, and magic. I used BLU (for melee damage and magic damage via sanguine blade), RNG (for ranged damage), and WHM. The droprate is not very good... You'd be better off just doing a couple full runs in Foret or Morimar to farm the plasm. 5 delve runs vs who knows how many runs to get 2 clubs to drop - take your pick. edit: Just realized you said with trusts. I'm really not sure, maybe if you brought along some good ranged trusts and got lucky with the mob staying out of ranged mode most of the fight. I forgot to mention that it likes to use Great Bleat, so make sure to set winds of promyvion to keep your HP up. Offline

Just wasn't sure if delve is still heavily dependant on "good" stunners. Most people don't shout delve or groups just spam and doint really need help. Just don't know how a pug can handle Tojil or the other delve. Nibiru Cudgel > Gabaxorea anyway
Ranger is also good for Magic damage, with Wildfire.

Leviathan.Stamos said: » Nibiru Cudgel > Gabaxorea anyway Due to my play times, Nibiru Cudgel or any Escha gear isn't in the cards for me. Peeps never shout runs for the NM's and my ls runs don't work with my schedule right now. Major GF aggro because she gets out of work 15 minutes before events start. Could be worse I guess.. don't you need three playing chars to pop any forced pop nm in escha ?just asking ...
