You can use Metallic Body as part of a combo to create Max MP Boost. Can be paired with any of the following spells to create Max MP Boost combo.
* Mysterious Light
* Hecatomb Wave
# Self-target only.
# The formula to calculate the damage reduced is: [Blue Magic Skill/3] + [Current level/3] and cap at 127 absorb points
# Stoneskin overwrites Metallic Body.
# Metallic Body does not overwrite Stoneskin and gives a "has no effect" error.
Crabs use this spell over and over and over, shouldnt be too hard to acquire. Good luck spell hunting.

i tried forever to get this and when i hit level 10 i looked to see if i got anymore blu points and saw that i got the spell and i was probley here for longer than what i needed but i also did this for pollen but didnt know when i got it then. this is a dumb story just thought that i would share it.

omg it took me like 2 days to get this one they would rarely use it and when they did i wouldnt get it! but i finally did and i think that its worth it it comes in handy when a mob uses a DoT spell...just cast metallic body and you can rest while taking damage

this is bs i been trying to get this for like 1hour now. i have like 20 mins fights of just standing there watching the crabs attack me -. - this is getting really pathetic
Despite it's alleged uselessness, this spell has nestled a seemingly permanent spot on my duoing buddy's and my spellset.
At the end of every other fight, we cast this before resting. Hey, it's only one BLU point, what else you gonna put there? Power Attack?

I wouldn't even say its uber at early levels... don't get me wrong I love BLU but this would have made them over powered anyways.
I'm a BLU/WAR so maybe a little more MND / INT would make it last a bit longer, but at level 12 it soaks up 30-40 damage I would pressume.
I still use it if i'm walking up to a {Tough} enemy though just to waste his first hit and a half lol

30 HP Metallic Body shield...Useless, right?
I personally have an extra point and keep it equipped so I can cast it before sitting down...Let's you rest if you have a poison spell on you, so it's useful in that aspect...
Of course, you can always use it at lv25-30 to negate the only 2 hits an EP mob can get on you before you wipe it out.

I think its reall useful for the defence given.Not being hit 3-4 times is nice and helps me even the score with a EM mob at level 9.Coupled with cocoon your defences are pretty good, add in a high level protect from a WHM passer by and you can take T mobs.
Damn, i love this job.
Damn, i love this job.
the duration varries, so that kinda means Random. Hell it could last for 100 hits if possible, but doubt it. It generally depends on the damage taken. I'm a paladin/warrior most of the time and when i solo whm mobs and they have stoneskin it usually lasts until i deal over 150 damage which takes 5 hits sometimes unless i use a weapon skill or crit them a couple of times
In my soloing experience as a 75WHM/BLM, stoneskin is the backbone of my defense. Basically when you add the spells: Stoneskin >> Aquaveil >> Haste >> Slow >> Paralyze together, you get really enfeebled mob attacks and the ability to basically skin-tankâ„¢ a mob with low interupts. I could see Metallic Body used in this way at higher levels with Cocoon for some awesome soloing. Just my two cents. Don't write it off yet.

What BLU magic skill you got to be to learn this. I've killed at least 100 crabs at lvl 8 and still didnt learn it.

Useless... Completely Useless. on EP mobs it lasts for about 2 hits. That's even stretching it a bit.
Lvl to use is 8, MP cost is 19, BMP cost is 1, magical spell, Aquan based.
Gives no added stat bonuses, but gives an uber Stoneskin (at least it's uber in early levels ._.)
