The Beast Within -- A Guide to Blue Mage
The only one that should push your ratio low enough to have CDC overtake Requiescat is Tojil.
Requiscat is certainly winning on majority of NM's for me in most situations.
I've only seen CDC beat Req when ZERK and songs are down (brd's were not able to maintain songs for some reason) and even then the difference wasn't huge. I take back what I said about Glutinous Dart. I did this while weakened at 20.6'.
CA+Efflux+70% TP  It must have remarkable fTP scaling or something because without abilities, it was doing 400-600ish on the shark, ~500-700 on normal NMs.

Seems to go 1 -> 2 -> 3 at 100/200/300, unsure about 350. 2~3 fTP with 50/50 WSC is pretty god damn superb when you consider the fact that it has such a small MP cost. Can use it 7~8 times during Azure Lore, do it on Colkhab or Hurkan and it'll be quite fun to watch the numbers pile up.

Yeah, probably worth it to step back out of range, Azure Lore with AF2+2 hands, lock in WSC gear and spam the ***out of it for the AL duration. In any case, probably better than Magic Fruit or Occultation(everything is AoE in delve anyway).
Any idea if Nat.Meditation or Verve give Blue Attack? Seems kinda meh that Meditation is just a 5% attack bonus away from being a Triumphant Roar, I feel like it has to have something else to it.

Seems kinda meh that Meditation is just a 5% attack bonus away from being a Triumphant Roar, I feel like it has to have something else to it. On /war with food, zerk, cry, and meditation gets you up to 1800+ attack with the right gear. With Brd and Cor buffs it goes higher. Glad to see you come around with regards to Dart. With AZ you can get about 23-30k dmg (with augmented Relic +2) on Hurkan and Colkhab and even Muyingwa. In the other thread I posted screenshots from a Hurkan fight using nothing but Glutinous Dart to demonstrate its usefulness. Did you learn Verve? Oh forgot: Nat Meditation does come with 10 acc if you don't have the trait set or present via subjobs Nah was a pickup group , we wiped at 20% with 10m left cuz nobody dispelling verve(or maybe he had shield up preventing dispel) so guillotine killed like 4 or 5 dds. Btw another nice thing about blu is the ability to erase the max hp down and whms can asylum to prevent it too.

He can still be otherwise enfeebled and dispelled while Verve is up. Cerberus.Conagh said: » Requiscat is certainly winning on majority of NM's for me in most situations.

Yeah last night my LS done a couple of Ceizak runs, me and the other BLU were using CDC whenever Berserk or Songs were down since we were using Sushi instead of Red Curry (stupid zone message) the difference is very noticeable. Its good to know that CDC still has a place for BLU even though its not the best anymore. Has anyone got Assimilator's Jubbah yet? Just wondering what the refresh on it is, Hagondes is such a ugly idle body and a don't have the space to use Morrigans +1 just for a idle ; ; I'd be extremely surprised if it isn't 2/tic. I know Sylow has his, so he should be able to confirm.
Through the careful study of throwing pinecones at toucans, I have ascertained that Nature's Meditation has no effect whatsoever on blue magic attack.
I have not actually equipped it.

Just got my jubbah, sexy stats!

Glutinous Dart has neither an attack bonus nor an attack penalty. If it has a downside, I can't find it.

Is Tamaxchi + Predatrice better than chatoyant staff for nukes? Magic dmg + 149 and matk+12. A lot more macc.
Only for small nukes like Sandspin. You could potentially get Sandspin to do about 1k with enough magic damage+ and MAB.

Unless you're doing more than ~1000 damage with your nuke with no weapon equiped, the clubs should be better, if I'm understanding the question right. Hm I need to get that club and try it out. I think its the only Magic Dmg+ we can get atm is the club(+99), new sword (+50) and the grip that nobody has found yet (+10ish?)
THere's a tathlum and hagondes pants, too. 172 total.
Oh, not that its useful, but apparently verve also gives an aquaveil effect. Haven't seen how many procs it can last for though. It has a big duration though lol, lasts 15m.

Pretty sure I've seen our mages do it a lot. Occurred to me, Camaraderie Wand is better than Predatrice for magic damage+, so don't even need that thing.
Peacekeeper, think it costs like 8k Bayld? Not 100% on cost, but it doesn't matter because Bayld's ezpz
Mavi ftw. Just did the new BCNM on "Very Difficult" on BLU. Good lord that evasion. Need some mega +ACC in gear it seems lol. Had sushi on + ghorn 2hr madrigrals and was still whiffing.
For fun I set Bad Breath on the Urganite in Foret delve and with Impact everyone's DPS was HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE. People's DPS were like 1400-1500 lol.
