Hey guys I am just wondering if blu has a sneak or invisible spell that you can learn from the mobs? (not talking about sub /rdm /whm to do snk or invis)

Is there a monster out there that currently has a sneak or invis move? Do we want one that can sneak up on us?

Chigoes kinda-sorta do, in that their name isn't visible and their sprites are rather hard to see.

They also had a well-deserved reputation as "Oh god, not Chigoes!" back in the ToAU era, which enforces your "Do we really want this?" question.

Oh, and there's antlions, too.

Yes, but the spell is so effective that nobody can track down the mob to learn it from.

All jackassery aside, BLU doesn't have a native spell like that. :(

Probably worth saying that SE has no problem with completely changing spells to suit what they want Blu to have. So if they decided they wanted to give blu a sneak/invis spell, they easily could.

But unless it cost 0 points I'd never use it. I've got better things to use my spell points on.

Nobody is wasting set points on s/i. Easier just using meds.

There has been like 2 or 3 situations where I thought it would be nice to have native sneak/invisible. Then I pull the meds out of my satchel and move on.

They could retool a spell to give us sneak/invis.

Mirage maybe. I'm sure there's some TP move with a name that could insuate something stealthy. Nature's Meditation gives Chapuli an invincible while readying TP moves.

They'd probably make it a spell for Unbridled so you don't have to have it set, just use ja then cast.

BLU spells were hard enough to learn, for some, without having to worry about tracking down the mob. If you don't get it after 1-2 pulls, it'll be one frustrating ***

I'd say it's a bit redundant now you can just buy sneak + invis meds off moogle vendors.

Avoiding detection is a useful skill, there's a ton of true sight/sound mobs as well as the ones in most endgame. 2 inventory slots is nothing, I'd never waste UL or set points on sneak/invis spells.

I'm sure you would if it fit worked toward DW job trait or something similar. I'd gladly trade out something like Blazing Bound for a spell I might actually use from time to time. :)
