So, I'm realizing, with grimace, that I'm running out of things to do by myself. I caught myself wanting a pair of Nimue's Tights from the Blood-Bathed Crown SCNM for no other reason than they're kind of impressive to own. I keep checking Claqueseous Equipment to see what I can improve, and the answer is: "Not much." I'd still like a Goblin Cracker, Saurian Helm and 2 Triumph Earrings, and even silly things like White Tathlum and Dragon Kote, but it's really bottom-of-the-barrel at this point in terms of BLU gear—well, bottom-of-the-barrel for things outside of Sky/Salvage...
Good evening, class.
Today, I would like to discuss the particular abilities and traits, innate or otherwise, that your Blue Mage would derive the most benefit from, and the various situations for which they are useful.
This was kind of a bittersweet victory. I'm sure it's common in the HNM world to watch someone with linkx5 die, but even I felt kind of bad, and it didn't help that he was a Taru. I was still ready to steal it though, mostly because I didn't want to get screwed for being the nice guy, and I sure as hell didn't want to go through the nerve-wracking process that is camping a NM in such a dangerous and unpredictable area against 4-5 RDMs with Crimson Pants.
In spite of my sense of moral outrage, I will give credit where credit is due. Thank you, Firewall, Omari, Nolard and Cyprian for helping me out with this. I know now for a fact that I couldn't have handled this by myself, so your support was greatly appreciated. Use this as an excuse to whore favors from me!
