The Beast Within -- A Guide To Blue Mage

i dont know why but this part of your lua function check_equip_lock() -- Lock Equipment Here --
is not workign for me

At DW4, it was a significant upgrade. Don't forget that you still have multi-attack with the DA on the feet, and that CDC works quite well with TP overflow. However, I didn't consider that a large reason behind that difference was the DW on Taeon which was overcapping me. Changing to DW3 has Taeon winning handily. For whatever reason, I didn't consider dropping DW tiers during testing items.

DW4 with Carmine is slightly ahead of DW3 with Taeon, but the difference is less than 10 DPS. The discrepancy is slightly more pronounced while using Tizona, but not by any significant margin. This difference is negligible, however, when considering the additional set points opened up and accuracy bonuses from using Taeon with DW3. Overall, you guys are correct, and Taeon will be our best option for feet.

So, I apologize for incorrect information. That was my mistake during testing, and I'll change the guide to reflect the proper sets.

Again, I apologize. You should know that your Carmine feet are by no means bad, and remain the best pure damage choice while using DW4, but you do sacrifice set points and utility in order to do so.

I should have given out my (incomplete) spreadsheet a long time ago so that others could catch my mistakes as well, and that was another fault of mine. I'll get them out by the end of the day. Just take into account that they are by no means perfect, but they are able to accurately simulate gear comparisons.

But, if you go DW3 you need what? 31 DW without any buffs except flutter, and 11 with capped magic haste. My body is not ready

Close. Flutter only: need 58 DW total (trait + gear) to cap. So, DW+33 in gear if you have DW3 trait (DW+25) set.

And yes, DW+11 in gear if you have capped magical haste and DW3 trait.

You sure that is right for the 58?

1 - (0.2 / (1 - .556))
1 - (0.2 / .444 )
1 - .4504(rounding down to .450)

=.55

So, 55% DW needed for just gear haste + flutter. So 30% DW for DW3, and 25% for DW4

Unless I am derping on my math

Yeah, that is what I thought 55/56. Why I said 31 DW originally. Why I was confused by the 58

So, with that said. DW5 on the legs, and going NQ on the Adhemar. I mean, ideally you would go with HQ and Reiki Koshiobi, and adjust your Taeon legs accordingly but meh.

On Taeon boots are we just looking for ATT + Acc 20 and TA 2% to make them BIS? Also is this also factoring not having 1200 JPs? I'm happy that I haven't spent the cash on Carmine's yet.

Like Oraen said though, with Tizona and DW4, Carmine +1 beat Taeon by quite a bit.

Yeah I'm still in the "process" of finishing my Vajra, so I don't see myself ever getting Tizona unfortunately.

Yeah, I messed up on the rings. That is my rings for whm melee lol

How much does a set without Tizona differ?

Yeah, your set is better. Only disagreement plugging it in is Dampening Tam for tp. Plugging in both A and B on multiple targets have Tam winning by a little

is there some reason you aren't just capping magic haste with MG?

I don't get the same results in any shape or form. Even taking off Tizona I can't reproduce Adhemar NQ path A or B beating max Dampening Tam for TP

90% of the time.

I forget that some people actually do events where those things are a real concern.

I've been busy moving. I'll be on more after this week.

What are the stats on MG? I can't find them anywhere.. Also with JP on UBL2, is this spell a must have/full time equip? Thanks.
