The "must Have" Blue Spells?

Wouldn't that technically help you learn it faster though? lol j/k

It was just something I wore if my skill was gimped, which was most of the time because at some point blue magic skill got harder for me to skill up.

Yeah I used mine alot too, but that was because I aby burned mine up >_>

lol I took mine up to 60+ before abyssea even hit. I did finish it in abyssea though. My af body became incredibly important learning spells after that lol

Yeah Wtf man get them all why even ask that. The goal is to have all regardless of use. Example- Last year before abyssea "Meh I dont need that spell" few months blues are frowned upon for missing spells. If you are going to play the job build it the way it was meant to. If you want to melee with swords and half *** it be a ninja with swords... so fun.... sarcasm is in there somewhere do you see it. Just cut the BS and learn them all god knows we have plenty of time to do so.

You seem to be forgetting something.....


^this

I'd disgree on body helping. I haven't gone out testing body... but any blu can tell you how much easier it is to learn spells when you have more skill. Besides later on most my kill shots were spells so had it on anyways

and the correct answer is still all of them. lol

I never said he shouldn't get all of them lol. I just said he technically doesn't have to.

And actually the body does help when your skill is gimped. At least it made a difference for me. Can't say for others though.

I wouldn't actually care about all of them. About a dozen or so serve no useful purpose ever. But the vast majority are good for casting, stat setting, and/or job trait setting. If only during certain lvls or specific not often used setups/fights. I still don't have queesy shroom :)

Queasyshroom is actually a good spell for testing blue magic :). There a use for them all!

Do you mean on body *not* helping? Otherwise I agree.

Testing what?

I meant seeing as more skill has always helped my learn rate I don't see why body wouldn't

Blue magic skill tier iirc, poison duration.

Yeah.

Spells I have never used for anything: Queesyshroom, blood drain, digest, feather barrier, hydroshot, asuran claws, ram charge... god feather barrier would be awesome though if duration didn't suck so much combine with cost and cast/recast

Didn't realize there was a skill tier for debuff durations...

Fast Blade >> Queasyshroom creates a Gravitation skillchain, which can be MB'd off with Digest for some pretty good damage and drain. Same goes with Blood Drain I'm sure, but you get Digest right at the same time frame you get Chain Affinity so that's all I've used.

I'd imagine Feather Barrier would have more than a few uses when tanking in a trio group or something like that.

Well Queasyshroom has a use for testing, even though other spells can possibly be used this is a very weak one which makes it easier to test on low lvl mob. Digest I used decent bit in dynamis when I brought my BLU back in the 75 stone ages. Was a decent ~300 HP drain with obi and that is basically equivalent to a blm's drain spell, only cost around 20 mp as well. That was prior to self refresh and all the helpful doodads we have today. Barely could get a rdm in my pt, so had to make do.

Blood drain is pretty useless, feather barrier might have some niche use lol. Asuran claws is decent, I had counter set few times when I was main tanking something in the past at 75 cap and it has saved me a few ichi recasts. Ram charge was decent as /thf vs certain targets but never really did use it. The point is, some spells have potential use for something, stat boosts or otherwise. Also, seeing as how some old spells got used in new spell combo's, you never know.

I know I'm wasting my e-breath here but seriously? Even if you're too lazy to use the search function you can just peruse the blue forum. "Req. blue spells", "spells blu uses now" etc etc ad-nausiem.

I know it's too much to ask but Jesus people it's 50% of the blu forum lol.

I don't mind so much that you're going to leech abyssea to 90 and probably only wear a tp haste set and "do it wrong" because we have a good blu in our group and i'll never have to see you failing. I just ask that since you can't be bothered to do the job right you at least put forth the minimal effort to find the other 300 threads about "how to halfass this job I put no effort into leveling, gearing, or being useful on".

*cough* Sorry, I'm done.

Sorry bit of a fix here, Queasyshroom is the most reliable for testing TP based things because the poison duration is based directly on TP. A lot of testing was done with the AF3+2 BLU equips and certain TP bonus items/atma using this spell.

Meh I always did more dmg at lower lvls stacking stats and using the real dmg spells... and later on only a few lower lvl stuff was actually casted. As far as skillchain thing... well RLB jetstream by itself did alot more dmg and could always MB something like bombtoss

Feather barrier would be useful if it either was alot stronger or you it's duration was much longer. I mean it only last 30 sec and cast time of 2sec and recast of 2 min...

Sometimes ram charge could've been good... but VC/cannonball was always better.

Asuran isn't bad per se but by then so much better spells. And I never bothered playing with a counter set.

I guess using queesy shroom would be good for testing which tp bonuses actually effect blu spells than. Though if you were just testing values of most there are alot of ws that would be better for that. Speaking of which do any of them? Like equip/atmas?

Jet Stream was also a huge MP sink when playing solo. Fast Blade >> Queasyshroom >> MP Drainkiss did less damage, of course, but it gave you MP.

Oh yeah solo sure maybe but people really wanted blu for pts when I lvld. Especially one that made his own juices :).

And if you are fighting something you can aspir sure though you could always terror touch to debuff it too or a couple of lvls later do sickle slash. Oh and it's RLB that starts gravitation anyways.

Either way I found making the fights take longer was often more of an mp sink than using bigger spells. Get that thing done before you had to start curing yourself

I loved going BLU/THF to colibri camp, CA + BA red lotus blade > SA sickle slash > MP drainkiss (***always was on me though :/). Was awesome dmg and nice mp return, also Death scissors /thf was awesome as well.


Not sure, I know there was a lot of questions in regards to the WOTG final reward earring and if the TP bonus applied to BLU spells. Dunno if anyone got one to test though.

I have all the spells and I have used them all. I usually only set 1000 Needles and Magic Fruit for heals. That's all you need.

Just get them all. You may be called to be a proc'er, and having them all, Your assuring yourself, and your party, that you will have the spells needed, for an abyssea party. Not having all spells either, well, your kinda limiting yourself also.

Oh look, Neonracer was kind enough to go through and -1 all my posts.

Why do you need to get 100 spells to ensure you have a certain 16? Is this a tip for people that are completely HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE?

Neon obviously has uncovered the secret that SE hid all this time.. all 100 spells can be used in lieu of current spells! Light based? Magic hammer time.
