Blue Mage\u2019s Abilities<\/strong><\/p>\n

We will go over each job trait and abilities below! If you know them inside out, you can pretty much skip the page!<\/p>\n

Job Traits<\/strong><\/p>\n

Blue Mage do not have job traits. They \u2018temporarily\u2019 acquired them through equipping certain combination of spells. Equipping Antic Burst and Plasma Charge (Lv75 blu spells) will give you \u201cAuto Refresh\u201d, giving you a natural 1mp\/tick. You can find all other combination on FFXI-Wikipedia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Job Ability:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chain Affinity \/ Burst Affinity says \u201cAllows your next (Physical\/Magical) blue magic to be used in Skillchain\/Magic Burst). There\u2019s more then just that. Chain Affinity \u201ctakes\u201d your TP away for the added effects. Let\u2019s take Death Scissors (the famous high-DD spell) for example.<\/p>\n

Death Scissors: A one-hit Physical Blue-Magic skills that deals damage to enemies. Damage varies with TP.<\/em><\/p>\n

If you spam this spell, you would probably get some nice 200-300 damage (2\/3 hit landed), whereas if you use Chain Affinity (and have some TP) and cast Death Scissors, you would get at least 500+ at the cost of all your TP. There is NO TP return from using any blue-mage abilities both during normal casting or in Chain Affinity.<\/p>\n

Therefore, there are two uses of Affinities.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. is to enable you to self\/join Skillchain and<\/li>\n
  2. use it solely to increase the spell\u2019s effectiveness.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
