/nin on mandys in abyssea with efflux+CA capped blue magic skill gear is in item sets

Yup general diss/fren gear. Ate Squid sushi. got STR+70 DEX+56, Efflux/Chain Affinity/Azure Lore (0%) and Fantod x11 (not sure if that helps or not)
Edit: I was /NIN too
My friend was THF/BLM. so No extra buffs from another job :)

Ah, that might explain that then. I heard that all 3 (Efflux, Chain Affinity and Azure Lore) stack so you can have far beyond 300% TP for the next spell.
I've also been reading that Fantod does boost damage to blue magic as well.

Last 2 updates have been nothing but a pure win for Blu.
All the new physical spells do some serious damage final sting seems trash but its better than self destruct.

Edit: on the other hand <3 quadratic continuum and goblin rush. can pull off 3k dmg solo skillchains with gobby rush and quadratic continuum with chain effinity and efflux doing 1500-3000 dmg a spell <333
now that i think about it i dont think attack effects spells anyway just melees and wses
By Aisha 2010-09-11 00:35:13
so has anyone tried stacking Fantod x10 then using Sanguine Blade? with my build atm i'm doing 780-900+ to Abyssea mobs it would also be a good way to figure out how much MAB Fantod adds

I'm only just level 84, so haven't had a chance to play with fantod of rape continuum, but I'm kinda disappointed with fantod already if I have to cast it 10 times to get something decent out of it... I was really happy that it was only 12mp and 1 set point, but now it's 120mp and what, a minute of repetitive casting?
Still, I'll wait til I actually use it before I reserve judgement fully.
As for final sting, what I was trying to say is that using it on an abyssea mob at near full health (and ~1500HP myself) did decent damage, nothing special really considering it put me to 1HP, but more damage than I managed with any other spell. Then using it on a level 20 mob that only has about 600HP did ~250 damage, twice in a row. So I'm wondering if it might have an acceptable use for HNM with a lot more HP than your average abyssea mob.
I don't think you can write it off just yet until you really know how it works is all. Maybe try it in campaign, they have more HP than normal mobs don't they?

Was it the same wivre? What were the HP of you and the wivre each time?

Does serious damage, but leaving you at 1 HP is iffy. If you have no problems letting Stoneskin handle it before a quick Plenilune, I save this until its the last spell i need. Good for fights against harder mobs where you need a lot of kick for your MP.

Wivres have that move where all physical damage deals 0 when you're facing it in the front.

Might have missed the post somewhere (read the SE site, but just confirming here), but by how much was our refresh gimped?

Couldn't get back into the game yet (beta's eating my time!)
Sucks it's gimped... at least the new physical spells looks wicked.
Just read the part regarding Fantod (again, if this was posted, please forgive me). It stacks and affects Magical attack, so... maybe it's sweet for our nukes?

The boost is only really good for using before WSes id say. there are better spells to cast before you cast a nuke on blu. i think it was memento mori? for its mp cost and point cost to set it is still nice though

Still, I'll wait til I actually use it before I reserve judgement fully. Personally not impressed with it in standard DD situations. Worth neither the time nor the MP. Tanking, waiting on SATA timers when /THF, or just general epeening though... different story.
2 DEX for 1 set point isn't bad either.

I'm quite sure, I have a buttload of tests performed by myself and others that indirectly refute the point, and I can do far more than 1250 on a pDIF and fSTR capped non-CA VCleave so I fail to see how this is so unbelievable on a high pDIF & fSTR (probably capping one or both) CA Efflux Azure Lore'd spell with a Damage varies with TP mod against a piercing weak target. Would you like a kitchen sink with those buffs?
