Don't think Murphie minds the cycle. I don't, either.

I'm really curious what S-E has in mind; would the Devs address the casting time vs. melee time issue? Give us a way have enough magic accuracy without resorting to staves? Some sort of enfeeb by sword swing like Dancer?

What does any of these last few posts have to do with support job for BLU? ._.

I really don't. Kind of enjoy it, actually.

Not a thing. But it seems you can't mention anything these days without RDM becoming the subject of discussion.

Fear != Loathing

I'm afraid of Refresh cycles. ._.

Absolutely nothing. Apologies for the de-rail.

As for subjobs for Blue Mage, typically you're looking at /THF for CASATA at higher levels; /NIN because you're better off with another Sword than a Shield, especially with no skill; /WHM because, well, you have MP; /WAR because you don't use two-handed weapons and have relatively little to gain from /SAM, and can actually make a decent tank (but you can /NIN for that these days); /DNC for all of the above except the CASATA.

Don't feel limited to those subjobs, though: if you're feeling adventurous and want to try an out-of-the-ordinary combo, then, by all means, go for it. Blue Mage is arguably the most versatile job in this game and can be pretty powerful, too.*

Just be sure to let any friends and potential party members know in advance if you think you may be trying something out of the expected.

I really enjoyed /rdm 60-75 with the add of certian rdm spells it gave me more of a chance to take an offensive route when i was equiping blu spells. Also being Galka it suprised me when /rdm gave me more mp than going /whm or /blm.

Because Rdm is like Blu.... Just with a lower sword skill and red AF instead of blue AF
