As a retired blue mage who regrets ever playing such a gimped job let me just tell you to give up the job and level something else.
it begins /looks to the east
you go this way, i'll go that way? make your BLU into a melee DD and build from there, that way you can get laughed out of the job and find something else.
That's basically the way to go with Almace tbh. Most physical spells aren't worth casting at that point, especially with high buffs or when fighting a high defense/level mob.
Its no bull what I did with my BLU. I had it leveled to 67 before abyssea, so I understood enough of the job to do what I wanted, Abyssea burned it to 90 while working it on NMs and such to get a feel for its niche, but truthfully, I haven't used the job for almost 8 months now, missing several of the newest spells like Everyone's Grudge (I have never reset my tonberry hate and I been playing since NA release... ITS POTENT) so I'm just trolling

Lol you should go get hit with Everyone's grudge and screen the damage. I had a friend once took a grudge for 16k+.

I leveled blue mage from 37>75 in east ronfaure. It was a really fun job for quite awhile and 75>80 we got an absolutely amazing repertoire of spells. Remember when battery charge > refresh?

Or you could be a gimp like those people and not listen to "such behavior".
"I want to get all spells but which are important to start with"
"All of them"
"I just want to know where to start, I plan to get all of them"
"All of them"

yup ignoring that behavior would make one gimped, good call Draylo

All of them.

When did you last use body slam?

The last time I was doing a BCNM with a ton of fodder mobs w/low DEF?

Have you never done blitzstrahl, ashu talif line missions etc bro?

Body slam is a fail spell.

When was the last time you used death scissors at level 90?

In fact at 90 how often will you ever need these spells:
Lvl Spell Type
1 Sandspin M
1 Pollen M
1 Foot Kick S
4 Power Attack B
4 Sprout Smack B
4 Wild Oats P
8 Metallic Body M
8 Queasyshroom P
12 Feather Storm P
16 Helldive B
18 Bludgeon B
18 Cursed Sphere M
20 Blood Drain M
20 Claw Cyclone S
24 Soporific M
26 Screwdriver P
28 Bomb Toss M
30 Wild Carrot M
30 Grand Slam B
32 Sound Blast M
34 Smite of Rage S
36 Digest M
36 Pinecone Bomb P
38 Jet Stream B
38 Uppercut B
40 Terror Touch B
42 Venom Shell M
44 Stinking Gas M
44 Mandibular Bite S
46 Awful Eye M
48 Refueling M
48 Blood Saber M
48 Sickle Slash B
50 Self-Destruct M
52 Cold Wave M
56 Feather Barrier M
58 Flying Hip Press M
58 Light of Penance M
60 Death Scissors S
60 Dimensional Death B
60 Spiral Spin S
61 Bad Breath M
62 Body Slam B
63 Spinal Cleave S
63 Frypan B
63 Hydro Shot B
64 Feather Tickle M
64 Voracious Trunk M
65 Infrasonics M
66 Sandspray M
66 Corrosive Ooze M
67 Diamondhide M (Even at 75 I told people it was a waste of MP and set points and they are not getting it from me)
67 Enervation M
68 Warm-Up M
69 Tail Slap B
69 Hysteric Barrage B
70 Amplification M
70 Asuran Claws B
71 Lowing M
73 Ram Charge B
74 Magic Hammer M
75 Vertical Cleave S
77 Leafstorm M
80 Blazing Bound M
80 Demoralizing Roar M
90 Reaving Wind M

I no longer use or do not use those spells. ***, I do not even use frenetic rip anymore. Count them up and see how much time was saved if you are a brand new level 90 BLU out of abyssea.

Those are all outdated, replaced, or highly situational. It is safe to say they are not worth getting unless you plan on going into something highly situational. IE Emperador de Altepa and wipe his TP. Then SURE get feather tickle and reaving wind, but personally I will never be in that situation.

P.S. I have all my spells except for Reaving Wind.


Bolded ones that I've still set at 90.

Hmm I don't know if this has been said I didn't read all of the posts. Leveling blu to 90 without spells in abyssea is making you gimp to begin with. It's the same effect as with astral burning. You don't learn the job at all and a blu that has taken the time to level the job the right way will blow your blu out of the water. Kudo's to all the old school blu's that pretty much had to solo their way up. Easy exp will never teach you the job. The minute you are on your own ur not gonna know what to do and get raped by the mob.

I did this!

Is my blu gimp :x

welp ._.
