BLU/BLM Vs Kirin?

I am curious if anyone has tried to stick Lowing on things like kirin that have high auto-regen rate.

Ive read that elemental seal helps a bunch with resists for blu spells. Just wondering if anyone has tried it, if it sticks and if so how long and does it affect anything.

As I understand how Plague works is that you don't recover HP when you /heal
not from regen or cures... So in this case Kirin will still have that heavy regen effect.
It'll drain TP and MP though but meh for the amount of MP he has and his TP regen.... you won't do much to him

with threnody and a good +skill/macc setup, most blu debuffs will land on Kirin fairly easily without ES. corrosive oose, frightful roar and stinking gas are easy to keep on and work well. Then again, kirin dies to fast these days its almost not worth it unless you have a blu only in the LS. 10 minute no-2hr zerg fights vs. the 2-3 hour kiting marathons back four years ago~ can't say I miss those.

Sadly that antiquated method is still in practice, particularly amongst Fisher-Price sky linkshells that can't pull off a zerg.

Thanks for the useless necrobump.

I know this is an old thread but apparently no one knew what Lowing did 3 months ago >.>

Lowing is Virus, not Disease.

Disease drains MP and TP by 5 per tic, like Poison but for MP and TP.

And yes, even if it was Disease, it wouldn't do a damn thing to Kirin because it doesn't /heal.

Plague reduces MP/TP, Disease merely stops you from recovering it.

"Virus" and Disease are the same type of Status Effect, as both are removed using "Viruna".

Viruna removes it, but it inflicts plague, which is a more powerful form of disease which Hitetsu said. Even if you are still kiting kirin, you wouldn't want to keep lowing up anyway, TP regen is still going to be well stronger than it so he'll be tp'ing damn near whenever he's in range anyway and having Kirins MP run out in a kite fight is a massive pain in the ***. Means he only spams shitty spells and doesn't cast stone V and such which are the only things that stop him long enough to do real damage to him.
