The Immortal's Path - BLU Guide

From FFXI Wiki



Unbridled Wisdom - BLU Guide

WARNING: GUIDE IS NOT FINISHED. UPLOADED TO SAVE PROGGRESS. PROCEED WITH CAUTION!


Roles

To Quote the Community Blue Mage Guide: All of Them.

DD

  • Very Good at Dealing Damage. Being Able to Deal Decent Blunt & Even Better Slashing Damage.
    • Due to Self Buffing. it can Do really Good Both Solo and in PT/Alliance.
  • Heavy Hitting WS + Some Skillchain Properties
    • Heavy Hit WS: Savage Blade: Frag, Scission. Expiacion: Distortion, Chant Du Cygne Hits less hard But Has Light & Distortion Properties. Requiescat Has Gravitation.

Support

Mostly For Itself. but it can provide some to PT. White Wind to AOE Heal. Diamondhide for AOE Stoneskin (mostly for Certain WS) & Diffusion A spell to make it AoE. Notably Mighty Guard.

Debuffer

  • BLU Has Access To some Interesting Debuffs/Enfeebling Such as:
    • TP Reduction
    • Plague
    • Def. Down
    • Atk. Down
    • M.Def. Down
    • Stun
    • AoE Sleep
    • AoE Petrify
    • AoE Silence
    • AoE Terror
    • AoE Doom

Cleaver/Crowd Control

  • BLU is By Far the Best Job For Cleaving. With Many Heavy Hitting Spells.
    • Entomb Also Has Additional Effect: Petrify
    • Spectral Floe Also Has Additional effect: Terror
  • Entomb Paired with Dream flower. it can Hold Groups of Mobs Till the End of Time. Since Entomb deals Damage it will remove Sleep & replace Petrify.

Tank

  • While This isn't Seen very often. Blue. Can, if Needed Tank. Requires some Setup Beforehand Realistically. But it has some spells to Generate High VE As well as some spells can generate both Decent VE & CE. Affinities/Efflux Also give Decent VE/CE. & with High Count Shadows, +50% Defense buff, Great Self Healing It should Hold Up Decently.
    • It Can Also Survive Without Setting All Defensive Spells. Due to Cocoon, Occultation, Mighty Guard.


Spells

  • Spells are what make BLU, BLU. BLU spells do not work like normal spells. you have to set them. And They are limited how many you can set. However. That Doesn't Make BLU Lackluster by Any Means..
    • My Personal Reccomendation Is If You are Gonna Take BLU To Endgame. & so are getting tons of spells. I would Reccomend Using Your BGwiki User: Page (if you have one) & using the Blue Magic Thing. blah blah blah addd more here later

Spells You Will Definitely Need/Want.

  • Barbed Crescent (DW Trait, Acc down might be useful?)
  • Delta Thrust (DW Trait, Plague)
  • Sudden lunge (STP Trait, Decent Stun)
  • Fantod (Store TP Trait.)
  • Entomb (AOE DMG + Petrify, DEF+ Trait)
  • Tenebral Crush (AOE DMG + Def down, Macc TRAIT)
  • Silent Storm (AOE DMG + Silence, Eva trait)
  • Cocoon (+50% Defense Buff)
  • Nature's Meditation (Acc trait, +20% Attack Buff)
  • Magic fruit (Cure, also Magic you Fruit!)
  • Magic Hammer (MAB Trait, Converts Damage to Aspir. Very Potent if Mob has MP)

Weapons

Swords

  • Naegling icon.png Naegling
  • Obained From Ambuscade. This is BLU's Best Sword Outside Of REMA. Requires a Total of 22,500 Points + Any Pulse Weapon


  • Sakpata's Sword icon.png Sakpata's Sword
  • Purshaseable From ??? Moogle in Rabao After Defeating Kalunga. Very Nice of a Sword Due to The Very High And Broad Stats.



Clubs

Ultimate Weapons
  • Tizona icon.png Tizona
  • BLU's Mythic Weapon. It is By Far It's Best Sword. Nice Macc, Allows Expiacion to Hit Alot Harder, AM3 Gives 40% chance to hit Twice & 20% chance to hit Thrice (Tizona Only) & Most Importantly on Each Hit it has about a ~30% Chance to give MP Based on Damage Dealt. Note how i Said Give MP, Not Drain. Meaning It works on any Mob!!! MP Given is ~10-20% of Damage Dealt. Paired with AM3 & you should have Near Infinite MP gain.
    • While AM3 Is Obviously the best. AM2 deserves an honorable mention Due to the Macc Boost, Niche But Nice.
    • R15: 30 Acc/Macc + 15% Expiacion Damage Makes it Even Crazier of a Weapon. Now also Has A Whopping 70 Magic Accuracy. Even More With AM2! & Even More Damage On Our #1 WS!

Content

  • So Far I've Basically Been Saying Similiar to that of Other Guides. Now It's time to Say Some things that Aren't.
  • I'm Going to Go Over Content's, Strats, What Spells are Prefferable ETC.
    • This is meant for More So Endgame Blues Than Newer Blues - so Proceed with Caution


Omen

Fu

BLU/RUN: Start by giving him A Few Buffs. Pro/shell, Barspells, Aquaveil. Use runes beforehand as well. he cannot absorb runes/Barrier. Run in & cast Flash. Cocoon > Move to A Corner. Tene & melee down. if you have any buffs up right before next nullificaiton remove atk/def buff. during animation of nullifications use Cocoon. Then sit in DT+HP+BathyChoker Set.(Still Do WS.) Be cautious on DMG VS 75% as he could Mighty strikes.. Keep up Occultation as well. Mighty Strikes: Use Droning Whirlwind. Beyond that keep doing that Until Dead. WARNING: If you are going To Dispel nullification right after. Wait until aura is up. if you dispel during animation, there is a chance he will act as if he absorbed 0 buffs if they all got dispelled. Causing him to take normal DMG + INSANE Intimidation.

TL;DR

Go watch the Video. Kinda Shows You What To Do. Observe Closely.
