The other problem I see with blu stunning is that it requires both geos to be danger geos (since the blu would probably need indi-focus just like the sch and rdm do... also i guess the rdm would have to stand in range too?)... it's not that it's impossible but it seems like playing on hard mode to do that.
Well the actual numbers are getting into unfamiliar territory for me, but BLU is A+ Blue Magic, where SCH is B+ Dark Magic. I don't know what capped C+ Geomancy/Handbell skills give for MAcc, but I guess that would depend on if the Indi-Focus effect is greater than the extra 20 skill levels, and if so, is it significant enough to warrant using Indi-Torpor in lieu of another spell. GEO needs re-working anyway IMO, but that's another thread.

They probably all hung themselves after being banned,as is the usual hyperbole response from XI players

Yes but RDM is also A+ enfeebling skill and I think we get more enfeebling+ gear than you do and we still need indi-focus.

Focus and Languor are giving like 100macc together.



Also GEO spells cannot be resisted under normal conditions. The job uis immensely powerful.

Someone please quote this so Tenshibaby can see it.

I'm hesitant to believe:

"X is A+
Y is B-

If Y can do it, X can"

If there are a number of differences between X and Y.

If you want to assert this idea, could you do it in another thread where people who have stunned these mobs can confirm or deny your speculation?

Last I checked, this was a thread about the ban cannon, not which performs better at Stun locking a Delve boss. Can we stick to the topic please? I am interested in hearing if anyone has heard anything from SE.

What differences did you have in mind?

Sorry, you can resume the "FFXI is dying" thought I so rudely interrupted.

Mfw the differences between Stun and Sudden Lunge* aren't clear enough. Or even, BLU physical spells.
EDIT: Fixed spell, my bad.

Macc don't affect blu physicals spells(lol @ blu's doing MACC swords..) Blu will need same Acc roll/songs as any DD.

i think you mean sudden lunge, heavy strike is low accuracy and added effect slow

Last I was aware, the physical part of BLU spells is just the damage, and the additional effect was affected by MACC.

Head Butt alone runs ~10sec recast before any Fast Cast gear, not sure how well it procs on Tojil, for example, but considering that is one of 6 stun spells BLU gets (not counting Thunderbolt) it may be worth trying out.

Its still subject to both mainhand accuracy and magic accuracy, so it's already less accurate than Stun, not to mention BLU offers very little else to the run.

This was a stupid topic to begin with so its irrelevant if its derailed into equally stupid topics such as "FFXI is dying" or " My BLU can stun, invite this crap job (on high end End Game content at least) to delve NMs/bosses plz guys." They apparently don't perma ban you for first offenses such flee hacking/clipping or skill up botting (though they naturally will if you have a history of botting/being a douche). I know of several people temporarily suspended for it yes but have never come across anyone insta banned for it being a first offense. I suppose it might depend on their mood I guess but highly doubt even that.

I dual wield a Delve sword and a Delve MAcc club, plus BLU has decent support/debuffs (including -TP) and damage output. That's the problem I have with GEO: it gives two buffsdebuffs and maybe some emergency weak cures and -na spells, otherwise it's a choice between sit and watch the luopan's HP go down or spend precious MP trying to help cure. Granted that is my limited experience with GEO talking, but if we are talking about slots that offer one meager benefit, GEO definitely comes to mind for me.

Don't get me wrong, I love BLU, I just don't see it being worth a party slot in Delve NM runs. It has too little to offer.

I like to challenge the common wisdom, since it seems to get proven wrong eventually anyway lol... I think stuns and Feather Tickle/Reaving Wind at least warrant some experimentation.

I can just see the morning meeting: "Our numbers are up since the latest expansion. Gentlemen, we are making too much money. If this keeps up our sales of FF14: ARRWTF and FF13+3=15 may suffer. Get out there and BAN like you've never banned before!!"

Oddly enough, GM auto-responses now send you to a FF14 website to fill out a report on botters.

As long as you're not casting spells and crap while AFK, I think you're probably safe. What exactly would they jail/ban you for if you're not? Loitering!?

Bot skill up in Port Jeuno like a boss, **** the GMs. To answer your question it is not safe to bot anywhere as its against their policy or whatever. Let alone in frequented places such as the paradox. Just go to some random out of the way location where no one goes or roll the dice and risk the potential temp ban. I personally chose the latter when I needed to skill up cause I just didn't give a ****.

Or like a smart person, you can sit there and play something else on your TV or read a book, or draw, or whatever while your character skills-up and you toss a glance at the screen every few minutes.
