Refresh II and Ballad III are potentially the biggest updates to BLU this time around...

Heh.. Not for those of us who don't have a pocket brd & rdm support full time =[

I pretty much use blu for solo.. And lowman ***. Never really event as blu :/

I agree the outside buffs will be nice though, I'm expecting BLUs new spells to cost considerably more mp.. Because atm having ballad/refresh2 & our own refresh from gear/traits.. Would pretty much make MP unlimited in most situations O.o Hell, It's rare for me to drop below 30% mp or so doing assaults or NMs etc as it is with only battery charge/mp drainkiss unless I'm doing an over-load of healing.

Often as not I have neither of late, but still... MP is one of the biggest limiting factors on our damage right now, and it's most apparent in buffed situations where melee damage scales dramatically and ours increases at less dramatic rate. This will help with that somewhat, just as the past update did.

Never really used /rdm in a "Complete DD Situation" (Like Abyssea) yet.. I usually stick with /nin. Why? Because I get my *** handed to me, and I know I'm going to hit convert and get smacked right in the face. Plus, I rarely go low enough on mp to justify convert.. Maybe I conserve mp too much :/

I wouldn't say you conserve mp to much.

I even use a melee build body from ACP and only switch to jubbah when mp is less than 50% and I still have a hard time dumping my mp unless i'm literally spamming through several mobs. That is also with at least 2 big spells every mob and party haste and occasional cures.

And I agree. with the /rdm. I think it's a fun to solo on with a good DPS build...but even with dual-wield trait, it wasn't enough to make it a viable sub in a fast exp party as anytime I took hate I was having to spam heals to stay alive.

I will say I use /rdm a lot in ls events when we are fighting something that I use eyes on me and other magical based spells on.
