Plenilune Embrace Inside Abyssea zones
its that simple Please, explain why we should be using Plenilune Embrace inside Abyssea.
personal preference in my cast You said "its that simple", so clearly there's some logic behind your decision that needs to be shared so that we can all follow your blanket statement and be better BLUs. ell, first off I don 't know any BLUs who would suffer from MP problems in aby zones while using atma of MM, body Af2/AF3+2, Battery Charge, and trait refresh . I know Plenilune is incredibly inefficient , but still I can 't see how any one would have mp issues unless they 're CWburning . As I said it 's just a personal preference and I should have been clear in my first post
Don't mind me, just making it legible
Don't get me wrong, I'm not agreeing with what he says at all, this was for my own benefit >_>

Could also debate Mavi +2 head/body vs Zelus/Loki's but that's a more minor trade.

Oh nevermind, it's because your Almace is level 80. Carry on.

He was leeching off of my ls mate's fire trials for his STR shamshir like 2 weeks ago and he was full-timing his 80 Almace.

>MM
Solution: make an Almace.
Even with MM, plenilune is less effective than fruit just due to recast and casting times. Animation lock etc.
never thought about the animation lock

Easy solution.
Post question here, read Prothescar & Nightfyre's posts, ignore the rest. Raise your BLU IQ a little.
Problem?

If the new sword is ever released, it would be the best item to use w/genbu shield for max cure potency, 10% from staff vs 15% from sword+shield and still get ws from sword. Only useful if you are main healing at all obviously.
Quote: Why do you see BLU's set things like Magic Fruit, and Hysteric Barrage still? Why do I constantly see BLUs make +eva swords. Face it not everyone is going to be good at the job they're playing. Dual wielding swords increase damage output. And when you're waiting for recast on spells the damage is going to be coming from your normal hits and weapon skills. Sure having a shield has it uses, but in most cases the shield is just not needed. Plus unless you play another job that needs shield skill most people probably just don't want to bother skilling it up.
The magic fruit thing has been touched upon enough already, which I always use fruit btw, but AGI shamshir most certainly has its use. It's a great sword with a eva build for soloing, holding something or getting shadows up. All assuming you can reach a decent evade rate.

Great sword? I'm talking about Galenus, unless I'm missing something.

what is this i dont even...
So I've been wondering for a while . . . why do BLUs Dual Wield?
Please . . . don't even say it's to get more TP to WS for Chain affinity . . . cause with 1 Sword I get 200~% TP before Chain Affinity is ready (Outside Abyssea).
So Dual Wielding Swords with good Start like Magic.Acc or something makes sense, but if your just using a Sword . . . with Regular DMG and 5mp . . . You should be shot on site, or is there something to this whole dual wield thing ?
Also what do you prefer /NIN or /RDM -
Not having to waste space on BLU Versions of Refresh, Phalanx, and Stoneskin . . .Among other things just seems like the obvious choice . . . and with Occulation . . . one should be ashamed of them selves using /nin. Yea Occulation is not 100% Shadow absorber, but Its 8 Shadows O_O and even if you get hit . . . Phalanx/Cocoon/Ice Spikes Eats it!
Anyway, please comment ^^!
