Soloing dungeons sounds really fun honestly, I like stuff that lets you challenge yourself on those days none of your friends are online
yeah before i saw those low drop rates for the skill, turned around and never looked back.
On the topic of soloing dungeons, i find it kinda sad that it doesn't count for the BLU log, even with the new Level Sync feature. Since soloing some dungeons can be as hard as doing it with a full BLU team, i'm a bit disappointed with that.
I love Blue Mage. About to finish up all Stormblood Extremes with my Static and then moving on to Omega Raids. Rewards are just silly titles this time around but I'm doing it because I am having fun.
Yo blue mage relic farm is pretty good in the anti tower just throw on rams voice + ultra vibration maybe add hydro pull if you want to make everything get hit faster your party will just blast through the adds also missile works on the first boss.
little tip about the burn I found out after soloing it and not getting the spell: you have to intentionally fail the mechanic on the last boss where the 3 heads appear that you're supposed to kill within a time, the boss will only use Cold Fog if you fail this mechanic lol
Seeing this kinda makes me want to level my sad little lvl 24 BLU
I'm definitely enjoying blue way more now.. Great experience going back to old content with everyone sharing the same job and getting all types of mechanics (same as before) but with way more diversity of spells.. I cant wait to do Ilya strat next expansion 😉
Now with basic instinct BLU has become one of my favourite jobs in the game. I managed to get the suzaku, tsukuyomi, A3/4N skills all solo and synced and there's such an insane sense of satisfaction to be able to do that. I just really wish the blue mage log would count for soloing instead of making us recruit members, especially now that soloing stuff is so viable.
blue mage parties have been filling up pretty fast for me so for people who don't want to solo don't feel like you have to. Basic Instinct is just an option for people who either have trouble organizing a group or just prefer to solo
Correction: The Spell Learning was a recent change that happened with the Blue Mage Update of 5.45.
The most exhilarating part of Blue Mage is going for the Morbol Mount. Synced, Echo Silenced, Full Blue Parties are crazy hectic but when you clear those fights… What a rush!
Basic instinct is a tank spell but yeah it’s awesome
It feels weird when people say "BLU wasn't really a solo job" cause it was able to solo dungeons with just HW abilities. It just wasn't fast or consistent. You can't get everything (notably most primal skills which are core to their rotation), but you could get pretty much every add-based skill once you got Aetherial Mimicry and Pom Cure (both of which were obtainable solo without needing Basic Instinct) which meant you could solo unsync a lot of ARR content that previously did require a party. Those two plus Basic Instinct basically has fixed that problem if you're willing to put up with it, though I do think Aetherial Mimicry needs some work for solo purposes. Maybe making it so when you have Basic Instinct and any role buff you get all of them when Basic Instinct is satisfied. Cause it's kind of integral to have both Tank and Healer Mimicry for some primals if you're going to solo them in the long run, given how much damage you take. And I do think getting all spells should be solo-able given the restrictions on the Log and Achievements. The only dungeon one that was a pain was The Burn and it's obvious what the issue was.
I heard blue mage was really fun, but finding out that its solo only is honestly kinda saddening. I really wanted to get into the game and play blue with friends. Sure there are plenty of other classes I'm sure to love, but it's kinda sad I can't say no u in a dungeon with friends.
BLU is my guilty pleasure, secret favorite job. Don't tell my BLM… >_>
You can acquire BLU spells solo 102/104. The only ones you need people for currently are Mustard Bomb and Peripheral Synthesis. The Level Checker's damage down stacks from being alone are too much for BLU to do it alone, currently.
What is your main class?
Honestly, they should just allow blue mage to queue for content up to level 70. 10 levels behind level cap. Sure, it might break balance, but its a PvE game, perfect balance isnt the most important thing. Its a fun job, forcing blue mages to use unoptimal tools to find partys or to do content is not engaging, and further dilutes the pool of blue mages.
to me they seem SUPER weak
