Ok so i decided to level BLU as my next job to 75, was always a huge fan of BLU in the old school FF games. It looks like a fun job, especially as a taru, and i have a lot of the good gear for it when i hit 75, but as a semi BLU n00b there's some equipment i have my doubts on, on how really effective or necessary it is for BLU. Anyways, let me give you guys a run down on how i would like to have my BLU set when i hit 75.
I understand the versatility of the job, so for now i am merely gonna start off with a TP setup, a Physical Magic Casting setup, and a Magical casting setup. As i hit 75 i will start on a Breath setup, a Cannonball setup, an Eyes On Me setup etc etc but that comes later lol.
So far in my inventory i have the following if i were to hit 75 right now..whatever is highlighted in GREEN i have some questions in regards for the slot/gear change/etc.
Tarutaru
TP SETUP (BLU/NIN)
ROW#1
MAIN: Wightslayer
SUB: Beast Slayer
RANGE: none
AMMO:Hedgehog Bomb
--NOTES--
Ok i am working on Perdu Hanger for main. Any advice on how to raise my rank faster, what mission helped you reach it faster? Any and all Assault advice is appreciated. I am also working on Koggelmander, leeching off my friend's maze....i may have to pay him some gillies for it knowing him... /sigh. As for ammo, i was thinking either keeping the Hedgehog Bomb, or maybe buying a Goblin Cracker or a White Tathlum. What do you think?
ROW#2
HEAD:Walahra Turban
NECK:Peacock Amulet
EAR1:Brutal Earring
EAR2:Suppanomimi
--NOTES--
Ok here is my dilemma..i wanted to pick up the Denali Bonnet. Now is the item even worth having for BLU honestly?? It looks promising, sure i lose out on MP (I am taru, dont need it really) and HP (Ok that is gonna hurt a lil bit) and 1% haste, but i gain AGI, MND, Att, and still have 4% haste. Thoughts? What do you all think? Also..... i am working on the Fortitude Torque. Will this replace my Peacock Amulet forever?
ROW#3
BODY:Enkidu's Harness
HANDS:Homam Manopolas
RING1:Rajas Ring
RING2:Echporia Ring
--NOTES--
Ok i think the BODY is my biggest dilemma so far. I am working on the relic body (Mirage Jubbah) and i have the Enkidu's Harness, i am even working on getting the Nashira Manteel for my other jobs, and it looks promising for my BLU as well. The question is.....do i really have to get any pieces of the Morrigan's set, preferably the body? I am working on the Ares armor, and it will be a very long time before i get my hands on the Morrigan's robe, or any of the pieces. As for the ecphoria ring, whats better for BLU? Uthalam's Ring or Balrahn's ring? I am very undecisive in this matter. What has worked for you thus far? Any advice?
ROW#4
BACK: Smiilodon Mantle +1/Amamet Mantle +1
WAIST: Swift Belt
LEGS: Homam Cosciales
FEET: Homam Gambieras
--NOTES--
I wanted to save up some gil for the Cuchulain's Mantle, now my question is...should i just full time that and not worry about the Amamet Mantle +1/Forager's Mantle/Cerberus Mantle? The Cuchulain's Mantle looks great for both TP and spellcasting so i figured why not full time it? Any ideas? As for belt...i am trying to get Velocious Belt lol. What more can i say....KA sucks...lol.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This wont be as extensive as my TP setup but i was curious on a few key pieces i had in mind that i wanted to know if it was good or not.
Physical Casting Setup (BLU/NIN)
MAIN: Wightslayer (Read above...working on Perdu)
SUB: Beast Slayer (Read above...working on Koggelmander)
RANGED:
AMMO: Sturm's Report
HEAD: Enkidu's Cap
NECK: Kubira Bead Necklace
EAR1: Waetoto's Earring
EAR2: Triumph Earring
BODY: Magus Jubbah +1
HANDS: Enkidu's Mitts
RING1: Rajas Ring
RING2: Flame Ring
BACK: Cuchulain's Mantle
WAIST: Swift Belt
LEGS: Enkidu's Subligar
FEET: Enkidu's Leggings
--NOTES--
I personally thought this setup was pretty good, only question i have was the HEAD slot, i wanted to replace the Enkidu's Cap with Gnadbhod's Helm. Than again, same as the BODY debate, is it really a huge diffence or can i live without it?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As for a magical build i really dont know where to start, i had a few pieces in mind, some being the Denali Kecks and Denali Gambashes, but can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thank you all in advance for your help.
