I think it would be cool in party settings later on if you had 2 BLM with really high dark skills, one nukes while the other does nothing but aspir and rest, then switch off.... You'd have constant black magic.
Might run into hate control issues with that strategy, as a heavily nuking BLM gets the mob's attention fast. However if you have 2 BLMs who each moderately nuke and Aspir/Drain, your voker will keep the mob stuck to them as it should be... that will make life much happier for your WHM (and you'll be doing a whole lot of damage too).
Edit: for fast chains, make sure that your BLMs are doing debuffs if you don't have a RDM. It's amazing how many people overlook the benefits of Paralyze, Slow, Gravity, Shock, etc.

Referring to skillchains, since Aspir is a Dark-type magic, you SHOULD be able to magic burst it if you do a lvl 3 Dark Renkei/Skillchain. Not confirmed by me, though.
A dark element spell can be used to MB from any skillchain that includes a dark element, not just the level 3 "dark" skillchain. These are:
lvl 1: Compression (dark element)
lvl 2: Gravitation (dark & earth element)
lvl 3: Dark (dark, earth, water and ice element)
I'm not sure if drain/aspir can actually MB, but I KNOW this is how the skillchain/MB elements work.
lvl 1: Compression (dark element)
lvl 2: Gravitation (dark & earth element)
lvl 3: Dark (dark, earth, water and ice element)
I'm not sure if drain/aspir can actually MB, but I KNOW this is how the skillchain/MB elements work.
Yes, you can use Drain or Aspire to MB a Dark skillchain the same way you can MB a Light renkai with Banish.
dark SC's are awesome if you have a DRK in your pt..
but you dont usually get very high SC dammage.. and MB of drain and aspir dont seem to do as much bonus dammage as MB ann elemental spell.
it makes you look cool though ^^

If you can burst paralyze, which does no damage, then surely you can burst drain/aspir :-P

I Think Aspir is useful also IF monsters have some fixed amount of MP they can use during fight. If I just can drain MP out from them making them not able to cast - Im happy! Can anyone confirm information about mob MP totals or some estimations at least or am I just dreaming? :)
no I dont tyhink this is so. I was ptied with a lvl 54blm who was helping me with RSE in shakrami maze a few days. and he would aspir for almost 100mp (lvl 174 dark magic) he would do it several times to "drain" the mob for mp an dhp instead of healing. he did it many times drawing almost 100 each time and the gob still was able to cast stuff. So I dont think it affects it in any way, or goblin shaman's jsut have a ******** of MP.

The more Dark Magic skill you have the more you drain just like with "Drain" it self.

the recast time on this is not 15 seconds, i believe its 60 seconds just like drain now. still very useful, i usually pull around 41mp though it varies, casting it and drain together keeps your mp rather high at level 22.

Does this generate a lot of hate??? Or about the same as Drain?

Get it here ->
http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/db/quests.html?realm=Windurst&fquest=185
Note, this spell does not work on any undead mobs.
From my testing.
Does work on: worms, crabs and casting-type (Goblins, Orcs, Yagudo, Quadav)

It might not give you much MP when you drain but I want it when it looks like the monster is about to die, less waiting time of getting MP back.

Why does it cost 10 mp to cast??? In previous FF's, i believe mp draining spells were free of mp cost. Making it cost 10 mp kinda makes it less satisfying.

Not sure about Aspir during chain, but I did do Drain burst during chain and gained alot of HP.

is this worth casting in a fight? because it definitly looks like its not going to be in the normal rotation but i could see it having uses in a chain group... i was trying not to get my hopes up too much with this spell.

I get +30 mp or more off yagudo priests in sarumaunge with my dark magic maxxed at level 28. That's 40 mana stolen, not too shabby.

Yeah but if it costs 10 mp to cast and you get 20 in return is it realy worth it you could only cast one poison with the extra you have gained...Of course I am getting this spell As soon as I can. :) I just love draining things of Hit Point and now Mana to!

Well i dont have the spell. But i have seen a BLM draining about 30 MP a fight off clippers. I usualy cast Thunder then Blizard then Thunder again. Then just sit and med for the next battle. I could see how getting 20 MP back before sitting down to med would be a good way to keep your MP high.
Think about not having to rest at all. I bet you won't get much aggro if you cast osmosis as soon as the battle started, then again after 15 seconds.
