Aerial armor

[Timoham]

I've been reading up on the RNG boards about the NIN or WAR sub debates a lot recently and came accross something I didn't know about. Aerial Armor. From what I can gather, it's a WHM spell and sounds like a blink type thing. I asked my friend who is a 40WHM/BLM and he said he wasn't sure what it was either, but it sounded more like a SMN ability that cast blink on everyone in the group. I'm totally lost as to what it is, though, so any help with this might help. Thanks

I could be wrong, seeing as how I've never played summoner, nor have I even partied with one that used their summons, but I'm pretty sure it is a summoner spell. It's an AoE buff that Garuda (however that's spelled, the wind one) gets, which casts blink on your entire party. I've never seen it used, since I've never partied with a summoner that used summons (still a low level, and they didn't have Garuda in the beta), but it sounds awesome =)

They get other cool AoE buffs too, like group Shock Spikes and stuff like that. Some En- something too, I think that's ice maybe? Anyway, I'm pretty sure Aerial Armor is a Garuda buff they get around 25 (Not sure on the level..).

Aerial Armor is a level 25 Summoner Blood Pact ability for Garuda. Acts as Blink for 3 hits for all party members in range, 92MP cost + summon/perpetuation costs, usable once per 60 seconds.

Shiva gives ice spikes effect, and ramuh gives enthunder.

sorry if i'm being picky, but doesn't blink absorb 2 hits? i know the white mage spell only absorbs 2, so is aerial armor slightly stronger or what?

[Deedlit]

Aerial Armor absorbs three hits - however, unlike utsusemi, the aren't necessarily consecutive hits.
