The Beast Within -- A Guide To Blue Mage

is not Refresh available in all slots for Herculean? I know I got it on my Helm while trying to get better M.Acc/MAB augments and had to rush out and solo a new one. >.<

I've only recently had some decent playtime due to work. You're saying some Reisen NMs can be soloed? Which ones? I'm gonna have to get on that lol

Belphegor and Selkit are easily soloable.

Belphegor is a straight zerg - Magic barrier and amchuchu will make most of his nukes hit you for nothing. Just need to watch out for sleepga and chainspell @10%.

Selkit fairly straight forward as well - zerg and keep shadows up. You will want a magic auto attacking trust to make it spam his throatstab move which hate resets so you're never really in any danger. Only thing to note is, try not to CDC when he's readying his throatstab if you're using any rancor gear (caught me with it occasionally).

Both are susceptible to stun.

Only down side is they mostly drop Ferns with the occasional Taupe and Pellucide.

Taelmoth the Diremaw can also be soloed on BLU, it's also a zerg, just keep up magic barrier, I had august and amachuchu both up just in case, and I zerged him with CDCs.

*Edit* borked up the post lol

Yeah, Taelmoth's nukes are far less threatening than the random "oh here's a 3k Benthic, *** you" hits (I might've had def down from Bilgestorm on at the time or something, but still) as long as you dispel Immortal Mind periodically. Kiting during AL doesn't hurt either, you've got plenty of time to start moving.

Selkit doesn't always like to lock into Hell Scissors spam for some reason, but worst case you just turtle up with def+/att- and spend 5-10 minutes killing him instead.

Update time again.

-Updated Empyrean aftermath calculations. Will now automatically select between ODD and OTD as appropriate and disable the bonus for non-Empyrean mainhands.
-Added some ilevel shields (Culminus, Genmei, Sors); equipping a shield no longer breaks damage calculations for that set.
-Fixed several Fencer-related bugs.
-Zanshin trait no longer requires that you be /SAM with a greatsword equipped. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
-Implemented Zanshin for melee calculations. It was never accounted for previously, even if you were somehow wielding a greatsword.
-Updated some trait bonus tiers and fixed some issues with spell trait calculations. Added entries for Zanshin, MAB, and Magic Burst Bonus.
-Added toggles for Erratic Flutter and Mighty Guard.
-Set points now scale according to level, Assimilation merits, and set point JPs.
-Added an ilevel field to the setup page to facilitate level correction calculations. Enabled level correction on all monsters (will probably remove that column from the mob lists entirely at some point). In time I might set this up as gear-dependent, but since we're probably i119 forever it doesn't make much difference. Level correction calculations will use whichever is higher of your job level and ilevel.

I started a thread on this last week. The tips I received on Selkit are to use Teodor and/or Balamor to lock him into Hell Scissors. I did duo Selkit using this strategy fairly easily and he pretty much only used Hell Scissors due to our WS spam as well as Balamor's moves.

Import it to your own drive and make a copy. The sheet has edit permissions locked to prevent unwanted changes to formulae. There might be a better way for me to handle that, but I'm not sure how.

I'm familiar with the concept, but was unsuccessful in locking him into Hell Scissors the couple times I've tried it. I saw speculation somewhere that GEO debuffs might prevent the lock, which could be the problem - I usually use Sylvie alongside my GEO alt when farming T1s.

Definitely Weatherspoon.

Weatherspoon all day long. Getting those instacasts with no CD on blu is SO good.

Especially when it happens on Occultation <3

Definitely Weatherspoon.

What about a ring for both geomancer and blue Mage? Still weatherspoon?

Does anyone have any videos of the T1 solo for blu? I have an alt but I'm also really terrible about solo strats and my trust options are crap. I'd like to see how others deal with it so I can perhaps improve my own skills. That and I'd like some herc gear so I stop blowing all of these DM campaigns.
