I've been wondering recently, that if BLU melee build is really as strong as what others say. I have to admit, I hardly play/research about BLU anymore(Zeig said I've been in COR mode recently), however while I helped some Cara on BLU/WAR and played with job trait and such, I find BLU melee/WS dmg actually improved a lot recently, to an unbelievable point.
Anyways, a BLU/WAR melee build going all out with those job trait:
Triple attack(12)
Counter(5)
Dual wield 3(20)
STP 2(13)
Zanshin(4)
Accuracy bonus if needed(5)
That's just enough set point to set everything, and have most of the offensive JA in this game. Depending on situation, can remove counter or acc bonus for Triumphant Roar.
Sadly not entirely practical except Abyssea......even in Abyssea not all that practical......
In dyna I /DNC and often set sleeps and cures etc.
I imagine in Nyzul spell spam still on the top against fodder mobs, down time also reduce the value of aftermath for Almace BLUs.
In VW there won't be enough room to set proc spell like this........1st time in my life that I started to dislike VW proc system.
Probably works the best in Abyssea on NMs, when you just engage and melee WS. But wait, ppl don't use BLU in abyssea ><
Since there are no room for A.spike for Almace BLUs, was wondering if it's possible to just drop the idea of self SC in such situations. The casting time and popping JA time(thus losing DPS) doesn't seems worth it on NMs.
Not to mention I'm still not sure how effective A.spike is on NM.................I bet not so good since it isn't impressive on fodder either.
New thing to play with/research now! But need to finish Almace q.q.

The idea of self skill chaining that blus can do is not a focal point. Blus tend to fall behind in spell damage on higher level mobs due to level correction. When it comes to abyssea there should only be 2 spells you only really need to look at, Heavy Strike and Quadrastrike. Even then, these spells are lackluster unless used with CA and/or Efflux.
ReplyDeleteBlu's DPS and WS potential is often over looked at because, lets be honest, there aren't that many good blus. CDC opens up a whole new world for blu and gives them more versatility, every person who is seriously into blu should get an Almace.
As for A.Spikes, it seems to be on par or slightly weaker than QC, but what makes it great is that it has skill chain properties with CDC (Gravitation). It works well with distortion property ws as well.
Sorry I meant VW not abyssea in the above comment
