The Beast Within -- A Guide to Blue Mage
I'm very unfamiliar with gearswap and well... lua in general but I see lots of things about it that I'm interested in so I'd like to learn as much as possible so I can start translating my XML. These lists are resource files I'm guessing?
Can we safely assume that the eminence sword is simply better than hq achuka sword? I noticed you took the swords off your gear lists so is this still debatable?
Quote: Eminent Scimitar Interesting weapon, this. It serves as quite a nice sword, and doesn't seem like it's remarkably difficult to get, requiring only some time spent doing Eminence. It is slightly worse than Xiutleato in terms of its stopping power, lacking STR and VIT to increase the damage of your swords and spells, however it gains a small edge over its red, demonic cousin when it comes to melee DoT. When your TP is below 100, you will unlock the latent that gives this sword a respectable D of 128 as well as imparting upon you a few more points of accuracy and attack. If you haven't been able to get Achuka to give you what you want or do not have a Buramenk'ah or Anahera Saber to pair with Xiutleato, then this is a fine alternative. Swords are still in the guide. Asura.Ackeronll said: » Swords are still in the guide. I didn't say he took them off the guide completely, I said "gear lists", maybe should have said "gear sets" and btw, that explanation for Eminence Scimitar is most likely outdated. I was making reference to this post, you must have missed it: Valefor.Prothescar said: » Hm. You know, since the Eminent weapons are basically just Perdu MK.II (model, latent, general premise all the same), it's likely that the latent is active during weaponskills as well as under 100TP, just like old Perdu weapons. That would make Eminent Scimitar better than Xiutlaeto, which means I'll need to do a bit of revising. Ah sorry guess I missed it. My bad.
Yes, eminence scimitar is better than Xiutlaeto always
Only time I use Xiutlaeto is in a situation where I'm hanging back and spamming Glutinous Dart like in Colkhab or other WKR freaking rapes Colkhab btw. 300% CAfflux Azure Lore= 8.3k+ on first cast followed by 4.5k+ every cast after, then High Jump at the end to fall under capped hate and let some other capped hate shmuck get hit.
Anyone else notice that setting Glutinous Dart doesn't give the Max HP Boost trait?
Changed to 99BLU/1PUP, set the spell, checked job traits - not there. Switched to several other subjobs that didn't natively get Max HP Boost, still no dice. Any ideas? Pretty sure it only gives HP Boost if you set another spell that gives HP boost.

These lists are resource files I'm guessing? I'm building a BLU gearswap that auto-builds a set for each blue magic spell on load based on predefined criteria after looking at the sets you have defined yourself. Basically it lets you do set["Name of Spell"] instead of if Foot Kick, then equip my STR/DEX blue magic, and when I cast Sudden Lunge, please equip my msgic acc / recast set, and I don't give a ***about the INT/MND mods on Bilgestorm, I just want the additional effects to stick without having to check a condition every time you cast it and without having to manually define a set for each spell.

Whats the best set for charged whisker/ thunderspark now?

Cool. I'm looking forward to hopping on this and seeing what I can do with it. I keep hearing about gearswap. How is it compared to spellcast?
spellcast is a 1999 dodge neon and gearswap is a 2014 prius.

Well look at it this way Glutinous Dart gives +15 hp from setting it so like Max HP boost 0.5 :3

Added Glutinous Dart's erroneous single spell trait add due to the glory of (probably drunken) copypasta from my at-the-time-outdated spell notes. It has now been addressed.
Is there really any benefit to Gearswap over Spellcast for someone who doesn't bother making rules beyond gearswaps and detecting active buffs to occasionally do automatic gearswaps? Have never been bothered to make immense scripts for things that I don't really care about the game doing for me, and learning a new language just to move over to a new plugin would require some actual reasoning. Gearswap can recognize specific augments (e.g. distinguish MAB hagondes from Fast Cast hagondes), swap gear with menus open (even the equip screen), and can reliably use a precast set for virtually anything and still land you in the correct midcast set, even if like ... quick magic procs.

Don't make me have to go make a GearSwap lua, god damn it! Tell me it's ***or something!
afk 3 weeks while I figure this ***out

I'm in the same boat Mr.Prothescar. D: Except it'll take me about a year because I'll /ragequit learning it quite a bit.
I'm designing mine to be easily customized by the common man so you can just wait until I'm done with mine!
Here's a preview! http://pastebin.com/wLkeJDY9 *** all dat I ain't no lamprey!
(i'll prolly give up within the hour and become a lamprey)

I managed to find information about gearswap that Brythnoth posted.
http://jp.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/41580/gearswap/1/ For anyone who's curious like me about gearswap and wanna know what are the advantages of gearswap over spellcast. I like to do my own thing most of the time but while I'm learning I'll yoink that one once it's finished.
Just be sure you let us know when you update it! Took a few hours, but as far as I tested this should be functional until Sylow posts his (probably vastly superior) lua.
You'll have to adjust all of the gear to match yours. Should be self explanatory. Swaps in fast cast gear for precast as well as gear for all the important spells (and some unimportant ones), weaponskills, and swaps you into idle/tp sets accordingly. Also detects marches, embrava, etc. and puts you in the right TP set (if you bother setting up separate ones). You can also toggle between various attack, accuracy, and other sets with the following commands: //gs c toggle TP set //gs c toggle Idle set //gs c toggle Req set //gs c toggle CDC set Added PDT + MDT sets. /console gs equip sets.Utility.PDT and /console gs equip sets.Utility.MDT for macros. Now to make these for the rest of my jobs. ._.

Asimilator Shalwar's +12 base dmg during Burst Affinity, is that the same as "Magic Damage+12"? Wouldnt that make it terrible vs Hagondes?
