This guide shuold lead you exactly how to be a Damage-Dealer Blue-Mage in a party setting. You can also take a look at my &#8220;<a title=\"Categories: Blue Mage\" href=\"\/maiev\/nfblog\/?cat=10\">Blue-Mage Posts only<\/a>&#8220;, on my performance during exp parties. So here it is&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"MaiTalu's Blue-Mage Guide\" href=\"\/maiev\/nfblog\/?page_id=151\">MaiTalu&#8217;s Blue-Mage Guide<\/a> (Also accessible on the &#8220;Sticky Post&#8221; sidebar.)<\/p>\n<p>I haven&#8217;t add-in my \/thf and \/nin comparison and Conclusion, but should give you enough knowledge to decide how you should play Blu DD.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m planning to write a few more guides, since many people ask me about them in-game.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Blu 75 Chain 5 Imps {How to do it}. For those that&#8217;s lazy to search. Most people have seen me enough roaming around Caedarva Mire. Well I&#8217;ve got 50 merits soloing Imps (Just to show how much time I spent there). Hard to explain in words so I&#8217;ll be accompying it with a video. Chain 5 isn&#8217;t really a rocket science, but more like it feels safer if you seen someone \/ video of doing it etc.<\/li>\n<li>Windower macros guide. Some people who watched my <a title=\"Video Library\" href=\"\/maiev\/nfblog\/?page_id=44\">Videos<\/a> realized that I could change 12+ equipment on rdm so quickly (fast enough that it wipes out chat log), or I can play rdm without even switching macro palette. Well that&#8217;s all done with the Windower built-in macro system. An effective macro allows you to spend less time worrying about what to equip for spell, and more time analyzing your surroundings \/ situation.<\/li>\n<li>Maiev&#8217;s RDM talks. Its not going to be a guide, but a share of my Red-Mage experience. Red-mage was my only 75 job since the NA release till probably August 2006 (Blue -Mage 75). Yes, literally 2 years 10 months playing rdm only. So I&#8217;ve got stuff I want to share. (Eg. Parrying skillup with rdm and 8 other mourouche, Chainspell Raise my whole 17 man alliance after a Nidhogg Spike Flail within a minute. etc)<\/li>\n<li>3ds max Rendering guide. Not many ask about it, I&#8217;ll shift it upwards if some others are interested.<\/li>\n<li>Last but not least, a Goldsmithing 100 guide &#8211; with analysis similar to my Blue-mage Guide.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I hope this blog is more than just a blog, but somewhat resourceful too.<\/p>\n<p>You can leave your comment within <a href=\"\/maiev\/nfblog\/?page_id=151\">the guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>[Comment&#8217;s are closed for this entry]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sumnydera and Maiev!
