BLU/DRK: Could this work?

Re: BLU/DRK: Could this work?

Ahhh, what's wrong with keeping old conversations alive? The forums are really slow these days....

The only time I've seen /DRK do anything interesting was when someone came MNK/DRK and killed Genbu once with HundredFists/SE. That was kinda neato.

The information is still relevant and useful...so no problem in necro posting...specially considering the sheer non-existing amount of blue mage threads...

Re: BLU/DRK: Could this work?

I am going to hijack necro this real quick like. Just wondering what the opinion is on blue mage support role subjobs. I am talking in the case where I want to deal some damage but be a "healer" for occasions where we will be low man stuff.

Now i have RDM, a well geared RDM that can fill the hybrid slot, but I also have BLU coming up the pipe an considering I rarely get to do anything other than exp on other jobs, I want to use it as a mission rat.

What I am considering is the options of support role jobs, with the obvious future in mind of lvl 80-99 .40-49

/WHM will obviously give me -nas and erase, as well as higher MP, it will also provide me with Divine Seal Curaga II's (which will edge out my healin breeze for MP/HP ratio. I also gain reraise (meh) and a few other cures (meh considering BLU spells already hve a greater HP/MP ratio).

VS

/SCH I gain essentially the same -na's I gain some INT and some MND and some MP. I gain erase (i think at /49). What I am really looking at here is the dark arts side of things. I can a dark based sleep, I gain a dark dark based dispell, I gain an Aspir, and Drain. I would also get Klimaform (presumably) some storm spells and accession and the other one that i cant recall atm. Also of course sublimaton.

So basically I think SCH wins in this sense due to its overwhelming dominance in usefulness over /WHM. But is it too much?
