    Blm can't fight Colibri?

    PTing with my BLM today, while my party was deciding where to do between Colibri or the Mire, some member mentioned that we shouldn't hunt Colibri because we had BLM... and mentioned something about "countering" spells.
    Anyone know what this thing can do exactly? It has reflect?

    on a side note, I've been having a very hard time getting PT for my BLM.. 61-67 has been so slow >.>

    Re: Blm can't fight Colibri?

    Colibri have a built in "reflect". Meaning it will use the spell you use on it... not 100% of the time but I will. My friend used Flare on it for 69 dmg, it instantly casted it back (one-shotting) my friend for 1390 damage.

    So.. BLM+ Colibri = no
    In the moonlight, your face it glows.. like a thousand diamonds, I suppose.
    And your hair flows like.. The ocean breeze...
    Not a million fights could make me hate you, you’re invincible.
    Yeah, It’s true.
    It’s in your eyes, where I find peace.

      I can confirm that for you. I was soloing Colibri on my NIN the other day and for every enfeeble I cast, they cast it on me.

          It never did that to me... I was fighting lesser, but it never did that.

          On a side note, PLD hate these mobs. I had a colobri eat his Tav. Taco >.>

            I've solo'd Lesser Colibri as WHM/RDM. I've never had them reflect a spell back to me - Paralyze, Slow, Dia, Blind, Banish III... nothing.

            Maybe it's just their big brothers that have this ability?

              I've also solo'd these on my blm and haven't had this issue. Would be rather interesting though! *logs on and goes Ancient Magic happy on some*

                LESSER colibri do not have reflect. Only the higher level COLIBRI do. ^^


                Ninja Edit: Also, it isn't TRUE reflect- it doesnt simply bounce off them to you. It still efects them, they just mimic the spell. I guess you could call it mimic or something because relfect would mean it didn't effect them at all.

                  Exactly the same problem here, the last few parties I was in where mana burn, thats it for blm, and thats like a month ago. I've just been leveling blu for now - sooner or later people will need us again.

                  Back on topic, that is a sick skill the Colibri have, thank god only been doin the lessers.

                    I believe the term you're looking for is "Counter Magic." There was a materia in FFVII and a passive ability in FFIX that did exactly the same thing.

                      Oh yeah, the first time I solo'd one it took my food. I tried to beat it out of him but all I got was the beak.

                        Yes, I know. I was duo'ing with a Smn the other day on them and I never encountered this.

                          There's another mob that does this : Jailer of Fortitude. The Lesser Colibri don't, but the Colibri (like those found in Mamook) do.

                          They seem to resist enfeebles pretty well, but otherwise, there's a simple way to counter it. Black mages need only sub Ninja and cast single-target spells. Their shadows will eat the damage.
