For a while back before loot boxes were a thing, I amused myself by farming The Eyes Have It and Go Go Gorgimera for the minions, because both are vulnerable to freeze/shatter and are fairly difficult to defeat otherwise. Made probably less money off it than I would doing anything else, but it was fun.

So how quick is it to get BLU up to the point where these shenanigans work? I knew you can powerlevel it pretty easily, but what about getting the spells? I was putting it off until I cleared the MSQ, but I'm only at 84 now, so I'm guessing I'll need to sidetrack if I want it for tome farming.

The shenanigan-enabling spells are easy to get. They’re all easy, really, but some just take slightly longer to get a group going for. But for the ones that mess with these events, there won’t be an issue.

For spells, there are a few that you should grab that make getting the rest much easier. Triple Trident and Tingle are both available from the overworld mob the Ebisu Catfish in Yanxia, for example. Tingle followed by a TT will be a core part of your single target rotation and will make it so much easier to get other spells. You can go to the Sea of Clouds and get Whistle from Dhamels to kick TT up a notch even more. After that, either ask in FC chat and then set up a PF for four people to start. Go get dungeon spells. Then go up to 8 people and get trials spells. People are generally eager to help because blue mage is fun and they need spells, too.

Missile is probably one of the more annoying ones to get because people don't bother doing Hildibrand to unlock Battle at the Big Keep (for shame!) and the only other source is one of the Omega Raids - a 20 level difference, and much more of a threatening fight to boot.

I feel like they should remove the abilities being gated behind class quests. Especially the Stormblood ones where you have to do 5 or 6 quests for just one ability. usually it isn't that big a deal to skip it but levelling DRK to 90 without TBN was annoying. It made my healers have to work in dungeons.

the fight after the level 90 trial is hilarious I did it as BLM, so it was bunch of inept flailing while the story had to pretend I was actually putting up a fight because I'm like 90% sure the outcome is pre-determined. Or at least Zenos only had half as many health bars as I did

For most classes it isn't a big deal, but DRK it's really noticeable that one of your bread and butter abilities is locked behind it.

Most of BLM’s central kit is locked behind job quests. This is the case for every job that has levels between 30 and 70. Do your job quests.

I was putting it off until I cleared the MSQ, but I'm only at 84 now, so I'm guessing I'll need to sidetrack if I want it for tome farming. Get some spells from world mobs (Flying Sardine, Sonic Boom, Exuviation, Whistle, Basic Instinct, Aetherial Spark, Toad Oil, Sticky Tongue, Bristle, and Blood Drain are quick to get.) then talk to Gaheel in uldah. Get totems, talk to him again, get more totems. Then go get ram's voice and dragon's voice from Cutter's Cry; do it solo synced with Basic Instinct and Mighty Guard. Get Tingle & Trident from world mobs, then Pom Cure from the White Mage in Thornmarch Hard (you only need to kill the White Mage; I don't remember if I did it synced or not), Ultravibration from a world mob, Aetherial Mimicry from killing the Corruption adds on the first boss in Pharos Sirius Hard, Gobskin from the A10 trash mobs, Diamondback from the Horde Armored Dragons in Steps of Faith, and Missile from Battle in the Big Keep unsynced. You could run aurum vale with a BLU crew with just those, really at that point you're ready to take on the world. You could solo almost any dungeon synced, and many trials too. Song of Torment (psa: the 2nd & 3rd bosses in that dungen are vulnerable to death effects, see here for more exciting information about death), Level 5 Death, Feather Rain, Shock Strike, and Final Sting should be priorities. You should also start doing BLU quests and Masked Carnivale stages as some extremely important spells are locked behind Masked Carnivale completion, do at least 10 carnivale stages for Moon Flute. Keep an eye on PF for BLU spells from level 70 trials/raids, you can do some of them solo synced but it's not easy.

It's absolutely the squishiest tank at the moment. It didn't feel that way in SHB but its always hard to tell if that's objectively true or my memory is just a little hazy.

Yeah, going through endwalker leveling dungeons, DRK is by far the squishest. I don't know if its because everyone is bad at it, or they're just straight up missing a mitigation button, but I do basically 0 dps healing a DRK. A MNK could probably do as much. After a big pull, if the DPS is slacking, I need to stop and wait for cooldowns, completely negating the purpose of big pulls.

After a big pull, if the DPS is slacking, I need to stop and wait for cooldowns, completely negating the purpose of big pulls. The two big problems are that Living Dead might as well not exist for sustained damage from trash packs, one of their mitigation spells is magic only which is mostly useless for trash packs, and all the other tanks got huge buffs to their short cooldown mitigation ability while DRKs got an extra button that gives 10% mitigation. Another thing to consider is that TBN is flat mitigation rather than percentage, it doesn't scale with the amount of damage you take. I don't know how the math works out but you need to compare a 25% HP shield (and the 10% mitigation of Oblation) with the amount of damage you would mitigate with say Heart of Corundum giving 15% mitigation for 8 seconds, 15% for 4 seconds, and finishing with a 900 potency heal. If you compare it to Warrior's equivalent ability, Raw Intuition in dungeons is effectively 6 seconds of invulnerability and a 100% heal because it fully heals you on trash packs with each aoe ability you use. For obvious reasons i can't say how TBN feels in practice, but it's not suited for trash packs that tend to do high sustained damage. CJ fucked around with this message at 04:48 on Mar 8, 2022 |

It's not really free since you have to spend the same amount of MP on TBN. It's just a DPS loss if your shield isn't fully consumed that none of the other tanks have to deal with. It would be cool if TBN cost less MP so it was damage positive for using TBN well, but i'm guessing they are worried about people intentionally standing in mechanics for a dps gain.

It's exactly free because for the same MP as pressing a Damage button you Get Mitigation and A Damage button. That's literally the definition of a free extra perk CJ posted:I don't need to use the ability to read the tooltip and see how much MP it costs. You do however need to have it to actually understand its usage and how good/bad it is. Otherwise you're just talking entirely out your rear end.

If your TBN isn't breaking either you're not pulling enough trash, the trash is already dead, or the content is lmao too easy anyway and the DPS loss doesn't matter. Looking forward to the warrior who does 70-90 without inner release.
