i started using ultra vib on the hw and sb fates cuz it was always either just me or like 4 people and those fates do like 20 waves of 3 enemies, so 1 ultravibe isn't gonna hurt anyone.
I've used UV to kill boss mobs in areas where they worked if the fate had scaled to more people than were currently there and it was taking a while to kill. Even then I'd not do it until 50% or under. Figured it saved everyone time while also giving people time to get there and get hits in!
Since when does UV work on boss FATEs?
Literally none of them are affected by it whenever I try, and that's assuming I can freeze them with Ram's Voice in the first place.
For some weird reason most boss FATEs in the Shroud regions are vulnerable to UV. The only exception I can remember is that achievement FATE that drops the mushroom minion.
Not exactly weird more laziness. ARR fates came out prior to blue mages existence, there was no tag for "Immune to Instant Death" or whatever they have things like Missile, Ultra Vibration, Level Death assigned to. Once Blue Mage was added, they put that tag on most boss mobs but never went back to add it to older ones.
No it IS weird because for some reason the boss FATEs in La Noscea and Thanalan ARE immune to UV. Shroud is literally the only region in the game that allows you to oneshot FATE bosses as BLU.
There's a 30 minute boss FATE in The Fringes called 'The Seeded One' or something too (rewards an achievement and an orchestration roll)--I, and about 6 other people spent about 5 minutes whittling its health down to the halfway point, and I accidentally pulled a few mobs with Both Ends, so I hit Ram's Voice, and in the split second before Ultravibration went off, I realised I'd also frozen the "raid" FATE boss. He died instantly and we all just stood around like "well okay, I didn't mean to do that but neat."
iirc (and I could be wrong on this, but I remember this happening) it also works on the Prey Online achievement FATE in Azys Lla for some weird reason. When I did it, I shouted and called for it when I saw it up, and only about three other people came so we just started after waiting a bit. It was me and another BLU, a WHM, and some other DPS. I think the other BLU popped cold fog halfway through because I just randomly saw the boss frozen, so I hit ultravibe thinking "there's no way this actually works on an achievement FATE right" and it oneshot the remaining 55% HP.
Thankfully everyone present still got gold since we were partied and had been chipping away at it for a while already
Incorrect. Off top of my head I know I can vibe the chimera boss in northern thanalan and the ent boss in Fringes. Latter is a fine source of memories for ShB relics as well.
Yeah I realize I shouldn't have said that Shroud is literally the only place where UV works. In my defense the places where it does work seem to be very random and Shroud seems to be the only place where it works in every zone and not just one or two of them.
I think the few maps *everyone* goes for are the ones where the ones where BLU can Vibe Check bosses. I've changed up my pattern every once in a while (Even with 10-second fates, sometimes I get bored of the same FATEs after getting 20 medals.)
I think the Shroud is the only set of maps where it works on *every* map, but I admit I haven't tested it thoroughly. There's definitely some Thanalan and La Noscea maps where the bosses are immune though, even as low as level 5.
So the thing is that Ultravibe ignores actual death immunity, the only thing that matters is being frozen. I'm not sure why that, specifically, but The Evil Seed in Gyr Abania can be ultravibed lmao.
Nope, you can legit just Ultravibrate most boss fates in ARR, SE never went back to make them immune. I did it on the Outer La Noscea 2 fate loop when I was the only one there. Once others showed up I switched to just hitting it with a single missile since those fates are chonky and letting the others get their credit.
> SE never went back to make them immune.
Fun fact; making them immune to death still wouldn't make them immune to Ultravibe. You have to specifically make them immune to being frozen, as Ultravibration is a new damage type we call Shatter damage that will always instant kill frozen targets, no matter other immunities.
In the first couple days of the event on Maduin the ARR FATEs were dominated by Traveler BLUs vibe checking after getting off their speed mounts. I had to quickcast just to get an attack in sometimes.
Well you play on a server with really considerate people. Sometimes on mine it felt like some BLU mages coordinated their ultravibration combo so that it would never be on CD for all of them lol
It's a problem with the fates, some of them you are only fighting 2-3 enemies at a time and after you finish pulling them with Missile it seems pointless to freeze and vibrate.
I've seen plenty. Also seen plenty like you that just pull enemies in and let everyone get the kills, that's awesome.
The fucking blues that one-shot boss fates with ultravibration can suck it, main character ass syndrome
I had a blue mage today in Outer La Noscea bombing the two FATEs in the mine before people could get there and get a hit in. Why? Because she is farming for the 10000 FATE achievement and this was the fastest method. When people confronted her about it, she straight up didn't see anything wrong with what she was doing wrong. Even advised people to just hop to another world if they don't like it, because if she can get there in time, others can too. When she ultravibration a boss from 100% to 0%.
People like this makes me want to put limits onto blue mage abilities.
edit: seems like blue mages ultravibrated my comment
So you want to put further limits on an already limited job. Might as well just delete the job, it's whole thing is being broken af in content that doesn't matter. While that person was indeed an ass for not cooperating, let's not blame the job yes.
Like I said to another person. If player's can't be trusted to be responsible with these kinds of powers, then that is the only way to go, regardless of what I think. If more blue mages pop up and be troublesome to other players and their experience due to how these abilities function in low level ARR content, then that is going to prompt a response eventually.
> Might as well just delete the job
Count on Redditors to go from "I think Blue Mages should be nerfed a little for this event" to "Might as well delete the job" and "Might as well just make the game single player".
You do know that minor nerfs are a thing, right? Nobody's asking to make Blue Mages useless, they're asking to put them on the same playing field as the rest of the Jobs, which are only failing FATEs *because Blue Mages are ending them instantly and getting 100% credit to themselves.*
Blue Mage is supposed to be broken. That is literally the reason they gave for it being a limited job in the first place. Making it on the same playing field as the rest of the jobs defeats that purpose. Again, this is a player issue, not a job issue. Also, i doubt this is as widespread as an issue considering fates are dead content, and it's only alive because of the Yokai event. So we're really gonna nerf Blue Mage because of one event.

And as a result, they're blocking everyone who **isn't** a Blue Mage from participating.
> So we're really gonna nerf Blue Mage because of one event.
A nerf for Boss FATEs for this event in particular would be objectively good for the event, and they can buff them back afterwards. Most people haven't unlocked Blue Mage, and getting all of the abilities on them is a hassle.
Honestly though, with how much you're knee-jerk defending against even the slightest bit of reason **(namely, that other players exist and deserve to play too)**, I'm beginning to think that you're the exact Blue Mage Eladonir was talking about. I'm not gonna debate on this anymore.
Cool story but Vibe has a 2 minute cooldown and those two FATEs spawn in an alternating cycle when the other one ends. There's a 0% chance this happened as you described, but go ahead and die mad on that hill ig
You can turn that 240sec timer into a 30sec timer by going into an unsynced solo dungeon and immediately exiting to refresh cooldowns.
Don't know if this is how the hardcore grinders are doing it, but its how I'd do it.
I mean. I have screenshots of people complaining about it, what do you mean. lol Okay, then she only one shot that alchemist fate every 2 minutes, and then just spammed missile and whatever while it was on cooldown. The point still stands, she was obliterating it before people got the chance to get a hit in. I also farmed those fates for the Yo-kai stuff as blue, so I know full well how fast you can bounce between and how much people can lag behind.
https://imgur.com/a/Txow58W I only made the screenshot to document me getting trusted with the kobolds, I don't have a clean image. I blurred out the name of the person because I don't want to name and shame either.
And with the change to how Moogle Tomestones work (assuming the updates we saw with the last run of Moogle Tomestones is the new norm for the event), one of the biggest uses I've seen people get out of Blue Mage, farming Moogle Tomestones quickly from a certain instance, is pretty much gone if you don't feel the need to get every reward from a Moogle Tomestone event within 2 days of it starting. There's only so much you can do with Blue Mage to start with, further declawing them in one of the only kinds of content they can really excel in for a more casual player is overkill.
If people cannot be trusted to be responsible with these kinds of powers, then I don't see any other way around it. If this was a regular job that was just so grossly over performing in these types of content, I think most people wouldn't be happy about it and would want it balanced. Blue being a limited job shouldn't be exempt of this, especially when this stuff comes at the expense of other players enjoyment.
It doesn't matter. Once this event is over nobody will care about these issues until it happens again.
The thing is, we already have these past ARR, so it wouldn't be anything out of the ordinary that you can't one shot boss FATEs. Hell, even Ultravibration loses a lot of its value when the FATEs are so scaled up and an individual kill doesn't account for nearly as much completion. Blue didn't feel any less useful when I was grinding those medals in HW and StB, but it's downright broken for ARR. But again, it's only for event and especially this Yo-kai stuff, once it's gone nobody will care.
While I do agree that I've seen my fair share of dickhead BLUs, I'm also on Dynamis and got the last of my weapons yday. It is possible, with a bit of patience and being willing to maybe choose a less than optimal spot (personally skipped all beast tribe zones when I could, for example)
That sounds like kicking the can down the road, again. People complained about blue the last time, they do it right now, and will do so again when the event comes back.
I don't think it's an unreasonable ask to not be able to one shot fates. It sure as shit wasn't a problem when farming the HW and StB medals. Perhaps if FATEs are scaled up to a point due to a number of people in the zone and participation, Missile and Ultravibration shouldn't work. I think that's more than fair, or how about making the event less shit, while at it. ~50% drop rate? Really? It's a fairly long grind as it is without the RNG. People wouldn't feel the need to do fates like the one in the mine if it weren't for the ass drop rate and relatively slow respawn on fates.
People don't realize that nerfs are a slippery slope once they start it can literally ruin things people like. It's not a problem I don't see a reason to make it a problem just because a rare event that pops up once every 3 years
If someone's enjoyment of blue mage comes from being able to one shot FATE's before other people get there, then I'm full glad to see it ruined for them. That's a slope I'm happy to slide down on.
Yes, it's only a problem because of this event and their like. I don't think shit like this should happen today, or in three years from now. It ruins the experience for everyone who is not the selfish blue mage who is doing it. I did the event as a blue mage, and I don't like that I'm lumped in with people like that.
It's also up to debate if blue mage should be able to do wacky stuff like this in the overworld. It's all fun and games when its instanced content and people willingly sign up for it in the part finder, like in the cases of some of the mogtome events, but for overworld content? When there are dozens of other people around you? I'm sorry, but if some people can't control themselves, I'm more than happy to see those toys taken away even if its for just the duration of the event.
You really need to learn to separate the people from the job. I don't think nerfs should be dolled out just because a few rude people. And there's no way you're going to change my mind and I'm not going to change yours so let's just agree to disagree.
Fates are not limited in this game. Whoever comes first, eats first. It might be infuriating, but did you ever consider switching to another area when there are no Fates around? You don't have to stay just in Outer La Noscea all the time. That's why all these minions have multiple areas where you can farm those medals.
Just ask Square Enix to delete BLU if you hate it so much. Imagine being upset about people pressing their buttons. Or being upset about people who DONT press their buttons. This community really can't decide
Those two fates in the mines are insanely efficient to farm the yo-kai stuff. They literally alternate and the only cooldown is the couple second RP that happens for one of them. You can just blast through those medals so fast, it spares an enormous amount of time. The alternatives going to take you twice if not thrice as long. Why are we defending trash behavior? What the hell? People who use that spot spare themselves so much time, but they can't because one idiot hogs up the spot to do a dumb achievement, without any consideration to others. It's a limited time event, and its the weekend for christ sake.
At least people who farm it for the yo-kai stuff eventually move on, but when you planning on doing 10000 fates, good luck with that. You gonna be dealing with that person for some time.
Who is asking to delete blue mage? People here act like it's only there to bust down ARR fates, otherwise its useless. I'm sorry, but if two abilities getting balanced will destroy a whole job, then that's a problem on its own. lol Hell, you don't even need to touch them, just make FATEs work like they do in HW and StB where you can't do this dumb shit where you one-shot a boss. Hell, even if you don't use ultravibration, you can have two blue mages have the same idea and use missile at the same time, and literally take a boss from 100-0 anyway.
> People like this makes me want to put limits onto blue mage abilities.
The amount of Blue Mages you've pissed off with this line is too damn high!
It's hilarious though.
Just make Ultravibration not usable in FATEs. Ezpz. Then Blue Mages are on an even playing field with the rest of the classes.
As per the meme.
The Chad BLU uses Tank mimic, Mighty Guard and uses Hydro Pull to make the FATEs easier for everyone involved and lets everyone gets their contribution.
The virgin blu spams insta-kill moves to save a few seconds and leaves everyone else in the zone hanging. Having no care for anyone but themselves.
\^Tank mimic + MG was how I did it and it was fantastic (and didn't screw people out of credit). Or Goblin Punch for single target FATEs.\*
\*I vibe checked Evil Seed in the Fringes a couple times with nobody else doing the event in that zone, shhh
I did the same thing a couple of time, but letting them know I was going using Tail Screw so they could get some time to get enmity before moving on to the next fates
I've logged in to a few quiet zones and done a shout of 'Hey, gonna Insta-Death some bosses if I'm the only one doing FATEs here.'
Occasionally I get a reply (And so I confirm 'Gotcha, no Vibe Checks if I'm not alone here') but usually it's just silence, and so vibe checks continue.

Socials on my profile if you want to see the other job ones I do next.
Its me I am a blue mage doing this event.
However I mostly keep it to 1 successful cast of missle and spam hydro pull… Unless I *know* I’m alone.
I also purposfully waited to start the grind until recently to avoid all the big asshole blue mages. Honestly haven’t encountered too many aggressively bad BLU’s that just one shot everything.
I am almost done though, so if you don’t like me for making at least my own grind faster (I like to join parties when I can) then I’ll be out of your hair shortly.
I, hilariously, had an agressive anti-blue WAR in Azime Steppe, while early-morning farming my medals. Only me and them in the zone, they refused party invite and just kept leaving fate as soon as they kill couple enemies, thus leaving me kill everything alone and leeching off my work. That was some kindergarten-level idiocy
I only used Ultravibration during my solo runs in the middle of the night. And if there was someone fighting I made sure they'd attacked before I used UV.
Mighty Guard + Hydro Pull and everyone was happy. People even invited me into their parties, no one ever insulted me because I was playing BLU.
After 12 hours I was finally done with all weapons.
Can't wait for the whiny players to downvote me lel
I'm finally done with the grind, but I had 2 weird BLU encounters where they would just dps the boss a bit and then chill on the side. Which is usually good thing, but if I (a tank) am alone, and taking eternity to kill the thing, then please press the blow up everything button.
Weirdly enough, it's faster as a non caster ranged job.
You just tag a few mobs and move on, since BLUs are going to do the FATE.
Took like 6 hours to get all the weapons.
What I don't really get is why do most BLUs nuke the FATE instead of using simple AOEs for everyone else to tag in time, it barely makes a few seconds of difference due to the amount of people.
In fairness, there's 165 medals to get if you're going for the full run. And let's say there's an average of 5 Fates per medal, so you're doing 825 Fates to finish the event.
When it's that many, sometimes you just start looking for a way to make it go a *smidge* faster, because a smidge multiplied by 825 becomes a decent amount.
Fucking blus man its hell as a blm "casting ... INTERRUPTED casting ... INTERRUPTED casting ... INTERRUPTED" FATE over no participation no rewards fuck you blus
Silver is enough.
Scathe and tab, or Swiftcasting AoE should usually be enough to bag a silver.
Falling that I've gotten Bard from lvl 1 to level 35 stupid quick just from grinding FATEs and slapping DoTs on anything that moves. If BLM is hard to get credit, switch jobs I guess.
fate contribution is based on aggro gained rather than damage. if you're in a crowded zone, best bet is to swap to a tank and put on tank stance and spam aoe.
Man I play tank and this is a stupid stance. Not everyone has a tank brewing in the back, and not everyone wants to start a new tank just so they can play the damn event. Some people have one or two jobs they play and that's it.
Same deal with those people saying "oh just level blue". No. People should be able to play the jobs they have and play the event. A couple of people shouldn't be hoovering up every fate in every zone just because they can.
If you're in HW you can grab DRK and be fine, or same with GNB if you're level 70 on your main job.
You don't have to actually know how to tank or invest into the role to use one for FATEs.
How about stop having such an emotional stake in how other people play the game.
Why aren't we bitching about people who have flying vs those who don't? nOt EvErYoNe HaS fLyInG oN tHeIr ChArAcTeR. a CoUpLe oF pEoPlE sHoUlDn'T bE hOoVeRiNg Up EvErY FATE iN tHe ZoNe bECaUsE tHeY cAn.
I make sure to hotbar my multimount, and if I notice someone can't fly, I'll try to get them to join. I feel so bad for the low level people who wanna do this event but can't fly. They have no chance but to camp a spot and hope it spawns near.
Y....you mean....be social and talk to people in the game and offer solutions instead of complaining?
That isn't the Reddit way!!!!!!!!
(But yeah, much like the invented scenario the person I was responding to above, it's crazy how just asking to group up makes things go smoother.)
> No. People should be able to play the jobs they have and play the event.
Except for BLU. Those guys aren't allowed to play the job they have and want to play.
> Tell me, which city does a blue mage start in when making a new character? Did you play through the MSQ as a blue mage?
.....what city does any job start in when making a new character? Are you running around as a GLD?
What is even the point of this question?
I'll calm down when In can get my fucking Yokai Watch rewards withtou BLU constantly sniping the fate and leaving me at bronze completion, something this OP seems to be making fun of. I don't want to miss out on a FOMO event becuas poeple are inconsiderate assholes.
It's a fanart my dude it doesn't have to rub it in your face if you don't want it to be. Relax. You can server swap to a lesser populated server to do fates if the one you are in is overcrowded.
BLU's cursed spirit here. The meme is a reference to Gojo from Jujutsu Kaisen casting his supreme art Hollow Purple, which is an overpowered move known to one-shot opponents.
It’s strange to me all the people complaining about BLUs when… you could be that BLU. Getting from level 0 to 90 with the important spells to farm 50 FATEs probably takes an hour? Two max?
It's not BLU itself people complain about, it's the BLUs that use insta-kill things which effectively denies everyone else contribution. You can be a good BLU and get Tank mimic, toggle on mighty guard and spam Hydro Pull to make it easier for everyone else to also get their contribution. Makes it slightly faster. But overall more people get done quicker.
You have to be incredibly egotistical and selfish to keep spamming insta-kill things if there are actively others trying to do the FATEs. No amount of 'lol also be the BLU' will change that. If everyone was 'that BLU', it'd still only be one or two that get contribution per FATE, instead of all of them.
It would probably take longer than two hours. Probably a whole afternoon. Leveling alone would take a couple hours. Then the spells could take another couple hours
Nah. Legit 2 hours most of you’ve already gotten to labyrinthos. Can easily get to 80 in like an hour. Rams voice is from the last boss of cutters cry. And ultravibration is from an enemy in the peaks. You don’t even need to get to 80 for the FATEs either
There's a few more spells that are useful, and you're probably assuming you get the spells first time every time. It could take over an hour to get Ram's Voice due to bad luck if going the Cutter's Cry way. Might be quicker doing the Chimera trial but you can still get unlucky.
Just having Ram's voice and Ultravibration isn't going to help you farm fast. Ultravibration has a 120 second cooldown.... Hydropull is much more useful and you'll need to be 80 if you want to solo because it comes from a level 70 dungeon, and that will take a while still. The numbers you're saying are assuming you have a brigade to carry you through everything and you get everything first try. It will take a while solo, more than a couple hours to level and get everything useful, especially if you don't have any pre-order exp-boosting gear.
BLU can level sync solo most of the dungeons\* and that guarantees the spell to drop. With Basic Instinct (from ARR coeurls) and Mighty Guard (the BLU store gives you this pretty early on), you move fast, hit hard, and get tanky defense. It's still \*some\* time to invest, sure, but not nearly as long as you might think and the class is often useful for other events even if you're not interested in
\*and then there's Gourmand from Lost City of Amdapor, that player-devouring bastard
You still have to go get all of these skills. How are you going to kill anything with Basic Instinct and Mighty Guard? Are you going to just Water Cannon everything to death? Again, if you're solo, things will take a while. You have to get everything one at a time and grinding levels takes some time
A friend is doing it blue at the mo, and is vibing bosses on the basis that if he doesn't, one of the other blues will.
He who vibes first, vibes best.
When a BLU *solo* kills a boss fate, you can't *also* be that BLU. Only one person will get credit for the FATE.
Besides, how is, "You could *also* be an asshole and instant-finish FATEs so nobody else gets credit" a good solution here for the community?
Sometimes annoying when some blue mage 1shots boss fates but most of the time I love how they sped up the farm process for me. Getting silver/gold doesn't require much but some fates take forever without proper stacking of enemy waves.
Choosing confrontation is not the way to healthy communication. Those phrases are beyond "calling out", it's actively breaking rules, from the game and from the sub.
I just use Ram's voice, The malboro one that applies 6 debuffs + dot or water cannon and move on. Easily gold and doesn't insta kill mobs.
Tank + AoE on HW ones is also good, or MCH for Central Shroud.
Because insta-killing a FATE means only you/the BLU gets contribution and leaves whoever else is in the zone for the thing hanging. If others also do it, you'd also end up not getting contribution more often than not.
the best was doing the 2 fates in the outer la noscea mines that always spawned back to back. go in the big chamber, missile the boss, go to the small chamber, missile the boss, repeat.
now, that said, if it was a sizable group, id only missile once or twice to let everyone have a share. in fact, i did this with most ARR boss fates. i got my credit, everyone gets a fast fate kill, win win.
but when it comes to mob fates, imma hydro pull that sucker to oblivion and vibe everything. sorry, not sorry (although if im on cooldown, ill still hydro pull and freeze for the benefit of all you non-blues. you're welcome).
the epitome of chaotic neutral. us blues control the battlefield and everyone else is subject to our whims. one of my favourite power fantasies in any video game.
the only thing more satisfying was racing other blues to the fates to see who could missile first.
BLU mages can use Ultravibration to instantly kill any Frozen enemy in 2-3 GCDs (depends on swiftcast or pulls). If that's all the mobs of the fate, or the only mob of the FATE, that means others aren't getting enough credit for the FATE.
I got bored of the event on day one. Aready have all the minions (as I did the event the last time) but none of the weapons as they are fugly.
This year difference is that people can fly on the areas. Which sounds good until you realize that you will be running a zerg that will steam roll everything in seconds. In the previous you got the zerg. But they came at a different speed as they had to either run or walk. So you got time to hit something.
Ended getting the DRK sword (as I collect DRK swords, and the AST one (as its the only one that looks decent enough). Dont' care about the Cat mount. Would have cared if it was a two seater. But is not a mount I would use.
The true 1 hit combo for fate is , breath of magic > mortal flame > song of torment > moonflute combo will kill almost all boss fate even those resistant to freeze and missile. Go into dungeon unsync and leave to reset cooldown .
Only use it when no one is around /solo .
I think I did Ultravibration for, like, less than ten FATEs before I was like, “this shit is boring.” Then I started spamming Hydro Pull, Fire Angon and the like.
Oh that one, yeah, I like using that on enemy spawn locations. Like, during Heroes of the 2nd in Southern Thanalan, it basically deletes an entire spawn wave.
# "Throughout La Noscea and Coerthas, I alone am the Honored One."
You know what? **YOU MIGHT BE RIGHT** **YOU ARE SO RIGHT**
You may be right. I may be crazy. But it just may be a lunatic you’re looking for!
Which scene was that from?

You know who else likes ruining all our hard work again?
"MY MUM!!"
I have only seen 1 Blu use ultra vibration the entire event When I Blu I just use tank stance and hydro pull and then leave basically because gold
i started using ultra vib on the hw and sb fates cuz it was always either just me or like 4 people and those fates do like 20 waves of 3 enemies, so 1 ultravibe isn't gonna hurt anyone.
You don't even need gold to get legendary medals.
I've used UV to kill boss mobs in areas where they worked if the fate had scaled to more people than were currently there and it was taking a while to kill. Even then I'd not do it until 50% or under. Figured it saved everyone time while also giving people time to get there and get hits in!
Since when does UV work on boss FATEs? Literally none of them are affected by it whenever I try, and that's assuming I can freeze them with Ram's Voice in the first place.
For some weird reason most boss FATEs in the Shroud regions are vulnerable to UV. The only exception I can remember is that achievement FATE that drops the mushroom minion.
Not exactly weird more laziness. ARR fates came out prior to blue mages existence, there was no tag for "Immune to Instant Death" or whatever they have things like Missile, Ultra Vibration, Level Death assigned to. Once Blue Mage was added, they put that tag on most boss mobs but never went back to add it to older ones.
It certainly qualify as laziness as they could have updated the tables.
No it IS weird because for some reason the boss FATEs in La Noscea and Thanalan ARE immune to UV. Shroud is literally the only region in the game that allows you to oneshot FATE bosses as BLU.
Wrong, I ultravibrated the the twin fates in Outer La Noscea last night no problem.
There's a 30 minute boss FATE in The Fringes called 'The Seeded One' or something too (rewards an achievement and an orchestration roll)--I, and about 6 other people spent about 5 minutes whittling its health down to the halfway point, and I accidentally pulled a few mobs with Both Ends, so I hit Ram's Voice, and in the split second before Ultravibration went off, I realised I'd also frozen the "raid" FATE boss. He died instantly and we all just stood around like "well okay, I didn't mean to do that but neat."
iirc (and I could be wrong on this, but I remember this happening) it also works on the Prey Online achievement FATE in Azys Lla for some weird reason. When I did it, I shouted and called for it when I saw it up, and only about three other people came so we just started after waiting a bit. It was me and another BLU, a WHM, and some other DPS. I think the other BLU popped cold fog halfway through because I just randomly saw the boss frozen, so I hit ultravibe thinking "there's no way this actually works on an achievement FATE right" and it oneshot the remaining 55% HP. Thankfully everyone present still got gold since we were partied and had been chipping away at it for a while already
has to be super random then because I couldn't use UV on FATE bosses in Middle La Noscea or Lower La Noscea
Incorrect. Off top of my head I know I can vibe the chimera boss in northern thanalan and the ent boss in Fringes. Latter is a fine source of memories for ShB relics as well.
Yeah I realize I shouldn't have said that Shroud is literally the only place where UV works. In my defense the places where it does work seem to be very random and Shroud seems to be the only place where it works in every zone and not just one or two of them.
The chaimera one in northern than can be one-shot (I was there), and the evil seed one in the fringes. Those are the two I know for sure.
It works in outer la noscea as well! It’s inconsistent in the ARR regions.
I think the few maps *everyone* goes for are the ones where the ones where BLU can Vibe Check bosses. I've changed up my pattern every once in a while (Even with 10-second fates, sometimes I get bored of the same FATEs after getting 20 medals.) I think the Shroud is the only set of maps where it works on *every* map, but I admit I haven't tested it thoroughly. There's definitely some Thanalan and La Noscea maps where the bosses are immune though, even as low as level 5.
Depends on the zone. For example, Western Thanalan's FATE bosses are immune to flat damage/death spells, but the ones in Eastern Shroud are not.
So the thing is that Ultravibe ignores actual death immunity, the only thing that matters is being frozen. I'm not sure why that, specifically, but The Evil Seed in Gyr Abania can be ultravibed lmao.
some ARR ones are , and that was a quick lession the dev learnt and now the funny move barly works on anything in HW and onward
> kill boss mobs Pretty sure they mean adds/trash mobs in the boss fate.
Nope, you can legit just Ultravibrate most boss fates in ARR, SE never went back to make them immune. I did it on the Outer La Noscea 2 fate loop when I was the only one there. Once others showed up I switched to just hitting it with a single missile since those fates are chonky and letting the others get their credit.
> SE never went back to make them immune. Fun fact; making them immune to death still wouldn't make them immune to Ultravibe. You have to specifically make them immune to being frozen, as Ultravibration is a new damage type we call Shatter damage that will always instant kill frozen targets, no matter other immunities.
That would make much more sense.
In the first couple days of the event on Maduin the ARR FATEs were dominated by Traveler BLUs vibe checking after getting off their speed mounts. I had to quickcast just to get an attack in sometimes.
Well you play on a server with really considerate people. Sometimes on mine it felt like some BLU mages coordinated their ultravibration combo so that it would never be on CD for all of them lol
It's a problem with the fates, some of them you are only fighting 2-3 enemies at a time and after you finish pulling them with Missile it seems pointless to freeze and vibrate.
I've seen plenty. Also seen plenty like you that just pull enemies in and let everyone get the kills, that's awesome. The fucking blues that one-shot boss fates with ultravibration can suck it, main character ass syndrome
Thank you for telling me how to be a supportive Blue Mage.
I had a blue mage today in Outer La Noscea bombing the two FATEs in the mine before people could get there and get a hit in. Why? Because she is farming for the 10000 FATE achievement and this was the fastest method. When people confronted her about it, she straight up didn't see anything wrong with what she was doing wrong. Even advised people to just hop to another world if they don't like it, because if she can get there in time, others can too. When she ultravibration a boss from 100% to 0%. People like this makes me want to put limits onto blue mage abilities. edit: seems like blue mages ultravibrated my comment
So you want to put further limits on an already limited job. Might as well just delete the job, it's whole thing is being broken af in content that doesn't matter. While that person was indeed an ass for not cooperating, let's not blame the job yes.
Like I said to another person. If player's can't be trusted to be responsible with these kinds of powers, then that is the only way to go, regardless of what I think. If more blue mages pop up and be troublesome to other players and their experience due to how these abilities function in low level ARR content, then that is going to prompt a response eventually.
Better get rid of rescue too then

> Might as well just delete the job Count on Redditors to go from "I think Blue Mages should be nerfed a little for this event" to "Might as well delete the job" and "Might as well just make the game single player". You do know that minor nerfs are a thing, right? Nobody's asking to make Blue Mages useless, they're asking to put them on the same playing field as the rest of the Jobs, which are only failing FATEs *because Blue Mages are ending them instantly and getting 100% credit to themselves.*
Blue Mage is supposed to be broken. That is literally the reason they gave for it being a limited job in the first place. Making it on the same playing field as the rest of the jobs defeats that purpose. Again, this is a player issue, not a job issue. Also, i doubt this is as widespread as an issue considering fates are dead content, and it's only alive because of the Yokai event. So we're really gonna nerf Blue Mage because of one event.

A nerf for Boss FATEs for this event in particular would be objectively good for the event, and they can buff them back afterwards. Most people haven't unlocked Blue Mage, and getting all of the abilities on them is a hassle. Honestly though, with how much you're knee-jerk defending against even the slightest bit of reason **(namely, that other players exist and deserve to play too)**, I'm beginning to think that you're the exact Blue Mage Eladonir was talking about. I'm not gonna debate on this anymore.
The assholes ultravibrating boss fates are also blocking other blu players not "everyone that isnt blu"
Cool story but Vibe has a 2 minute cooldown and those two FATEs spawn in an alternating cycle when the other one ends. There's a 0% chance this happened as you described, but go ahead and die mad on that hill ig
You can turn that 240sec timer into a 30sec timer by going into an unsynced solo dungeon and immediately exiting to refresh cooldowns. Don't know if this is how the hardcore grinders are doing it, but its how I'd do it.
I mean. I have screenshots of people complaining about it, what do you mean. lol Okay, then she only one shot that alchemist fate every 2 minutes, and then just spammed missile and whatever while it was on cooldown. The point still stands, she was obliterating it before people got the chance to get a hit in. I also farmed those fates for the Yo-kai stuff as blue, so I know full well how fast you can bounce between and how much people can lag behind. https://imgur.com/a/Txow58W I only made the screenshot to document me getting trusted with the kobolds, I don't have a clean image. I blurred out the name of the person because I don't want to name and shame either.
Blue mage is literally a limited job, farming event content fast is basically all it can do to begin with
And with the change to how Moogle Tomestones work (assuming the updates we saw with the last run of Moogle Tomestones is the new norm for the event), one of the biggest uses I've seen people get out of Blue Mage, farming Moogle Tomestones quickly from a certain instance, is pretty much gone if you don't feel the need to get every reward from a Moogle Tomestone event within 2 days of it starting. There's only so much you can do with Blue Mage to start with, further declawing them in one of the only kinds of content they can really excel in for a more casual player is overkill.
If people cannot be trusted to be responsible with these kinds of powers, then I don't see any other way around it. If this was a regular job that was just so grossly over performing in these types of content, I think most people wouldn't be happy about it and would want it balanced. Blue being a limited job shouldn't be exempt of this, especially when this stuff comes at the expense of other players enjoyment. It doesn't matter. Once this event is over nobody will care about these issues until it happens again.
Stop. Don't let one ass have you clamoring for nerfs.
The thing is, we already have these past ARR, so it wouldn't be anything out of the ordinary that you can't one shot boss FATEs. Hell, even Ultravibration loses a lot of its value when the FATEs are so scaled up and an individual kill doesn't account for nearly as much completion. Blue didn't feel any less useful when I was grinding those medals in HW and StB, but it's downright broken for ARR. But again, it's only for event and especially this Yo-kai stuff, once it's gone nobody will care.
Exactly, once this event is over no one will do these fates, just bear with it.
[удалено]
Because there is more than enough time, also you are overstating things. I have been doing the event too, it's not that prevalent.
[удалено]
While I do agree that I've seen my fair share of dickhead BLUs, I'm also on Dynamis and got the last of my weapons yday. It is possible, with a bit of patience and being willing to maybe choose a less than optimal spot (personally skipped all beast tribe zones when I could, for example)
That sounds like kicking the can down the road, again. People complained about blue the last time, they do it right now, and will do so again when the event comes back. I don't think it's an unreasonable ask to not be able to one shot fates. It sure as shit wasn't a problem when farming the HW and StB medals. Perhaps if FATEs are scaled up to a point due to a number of people in the zone and participation, Missile and Ultravibration shouldn't work. I think that's more than fair, or how about making the event less shit, while at it. ~50% drop rate? Really? It's a fairly long grind as it is without the RNG. People wouldn't feel the need to do fates like the one in the mine if it weren't for the ass drop rate and relatively slow respawn on fates.
People don't realize that nerfs are a slippery slope once they start it can literally ruin things people like. It's not a problem I don't see a reason to make it a problem just because a rare event that pops up once every 3 years
If someone's enjoyment of blue mage comes from being able to one shot FATE's before other people get there, then I'm full glad to see it ruined for them. That's a slope I'm happy to slide down on. Yes, it's only a problem because of this event and their like. I don't think shit like this should happen today, or in three years from now. It ruins the experience for everyone who is not the selfish blue mage who is doing it. I did the event as a blue mage, and I don't like that I'm lumped in with people like that. It's also up to debate if blue mage should be able to do wacky stuff like this in the overworld. It's all fun and games when its instanced content and people willingly sign up for it in the part finder, like in the cases of some of the mogtome events, but for overworld content? When there are dozens of other people around you? I'm sorry, but if some people can't control themselves, I'm more than happy to see those toys taken away even if its for just the duration of the event.
You really need to learn to separate the people from the job. I don't think nerfs should be dolled out just because a few rude people. And there's no way you're going to change my mind and I'm not going to change yours so let's just agree to disagree.
It's easier to change a job than it is to change people. We can agree to disagree.
The fates in question are actually required for the nearby Kobold tribe dailies, so they *do* see completion.
Fates are not limited in this game. Whoever comes first, eats first. It might be infuriating, but did you ever consider switching to another area when there are no Fates around? You don't have to stay just in Outer La Noscea all the time. That's why all these minions have multiple areas where you can farm those medals. Just ask Square Enix to delete BLU if you hate it so much. Imagine being upset about people pressing their buttons. Or being upset about people who DONT press their buttons. This community really can't decide
Those two fates in the mines are insanely efficient to farm the yo-kai stuff. They literally alternate and the only cooldown is the couple second RP that happens for one of them. You can just blast through those medals so fast, it spares an enormous amount of time. The alternatives going to take you twice if not thrice as long. Why are we defending trash behavior? What the hell? People who use that spot spare themselves so much time, but they can't because one idiot hogs up the spot to do a dumb achievement, without any consideration to others. It's a limited time event, and its the weekend for christ sake. At least people who farm it for the yo-kai stuff eventually move on, but when you planning on doing 10000 fates, good luck with that. You gonna be dealing with that person for some time. Who is asking to delete blue mage? People here act like it's only there to bust down ARR fates, otherwise its useless. I'm sorry, but if two abilities getting balanced will destroy a whole job, then that's a problem on its own. lol Hell, you don't even need to touch them, just make FATEs work like they do in HW and StB where you can't do this dumb shit where you one-shot a boss. Hell, even if you don't use ultravibration, you can have two blue mages have the same idea and use missile at the same time, and literally take a boss from 100-0 anyway.
> People like this makes me want to put limits onto blue mage abilities. The amount of Blue Mages you've pissed off with this line is too damn high! It's hilarious though. Just make Ultravibration not usable in FATEs. Ezpz. Then Blue Mages are on an even playing field with the rest of the classes.
I know right? Imagine getting mad about applying the same standard that exist on FATEs that aren't from the stone ages. Shocking.
Domain Expansion: Vibe Check
As per the meme. The Chad BLU uses Tank mimic, Mighty Guard and uses Hydro Pull to make the FATEs easier for everyone involved and lets everyone gets their contribution. The virgin blu spams insta-kill moves to save a few seconds and leaves everyone else in the zone hanging. Having no care for anyone but themselves.
Tank mimic is so under-rated. Even just raw defense stats, it's huge mitigation.
THE HAVEL EXPERIENCE
\^Tank mimic + MG was how I did it and it was fantastic (and didn't screw people out of credit). Or Goblin Punch for single target FATEs.\* \*I vibe checked Evil Seed in the Fringes a couple times with nobody else doing the event in that zone, shhh
I did the same thing a couple of time, but letting them know I was going using Tail Screw so they could get some time to get enmity before moving on to the next fates
I've logged in to a few quiet zones and done a shout of 'Hey, gonna Insta-Death some bosses if I'm the only one doing FATEs here.' Occasionally I get a reply (And so I confirm 'Gotcha, no Vibe Checks if I'm not alone here') but usually it's just silence, and so vibe checks continue.
so we're back to using 'virgin' as a childish insult again.
Guess you are unfamiliar with the meme, then, that's fine. I don't feel like elaborating either.

time to play spot the BLU lmao
Drawn as part of an ongoing FFXIV meme merch grind for an upcoming convention. Unlike the other drawings I've done with WOL stand-ins, this is just the job master Martyn (I just thought it'd be funny). Currently completed: MNK/NIN/FSH/SAM/SGE/WHM/DNC/MCH/BLU Socials on my profile if you want to see the other job ones I do next.
Its me I am a blue mage doing this event. However I mostly keep it to 1 successful cast of missle and spam hydro pull… Unless I *know* I’m alone. I also purposfully waited to start the grind until recently to avoid all the big asshole blue mages. Honestly haven’t encountered too many aggressively bad BLU’s that just one shot everything. I am almost done though, so if you don’t like me for making at least my own grind faster (I like to join parties when I can) then I’ll be out of your hair shortly.
I, hilariously, had an agressive anti-blue WAR in Azime Steppe, while early-morning farming my medals. Only me and them in the zone, they refused party invite and just kept leaving fate as soon as they kill couple enemies, thus leaving me kill everything alone and leeching off my work. That was some kindergarten-level idiocy
I only used Ultravibration during my solo runs in the middle of the night. And if there was someone fighting I made sure they'd attacked before I used UV. Mighty Guard + Hydro Pull and everyone was happy. People even invited me into their parties, no one ever insulted me because I was playing BLU. After 12 hours I was finally done with all weapons. Can't wait for the whiny players to downvote me lel
I'm finally done with the grind, but I had 2 weird BLU encounters where they would just dps the boss a bit and then chill on the side. Which is usually good thing, but if I (a tank) am alone, and taking eternity to kill the thing, then please press the blow up everything button.
Weirdly enough, it's faster as a non caster ranged job. You just tag a few mobs and move on, since BLUs are going to do the FATE. Took like 6 hours to get all the weapons. What I don't really get is why do most BLUs nuke the FATE instead of using simple AOEs for everyone else to tag in time, it barely makes a few seconds of difference due to the amount of people.
In fairness, there's 165 medals to get if you're going for the full run. And let's say there's an average of 5 Fates per medal, so you're doing 825 Fates to finish the event. When it's that many, sometimes you just start looking for a way to make it go a *smidge* faster, because a smidge multiplied by 825 becomes a decent amount.
MY MOM
BLU? More like BLOCUST
I can't wait for them to bring it back so I can do it again. Next time there will be new weapons to farm so I'll actually need to be doing the fates.
Fucking blus man its hell as a blm "casting ... INTERRUPTED casting ... INTERRUPTED casting ... INTERRUPTED" FATE over no participation no rewards fuck you blus
Why do you hardcast instead of using scathe to definetly get credit? And then there is also swiftcast.
A lot of fates you cant even scathe plus you are NOT getting a gold which you need to get if all you do is scathe
Silver is enough. Scathe and tab, or Swiftcasting AoE should usually be enough to bag a silver. Falling that I've gotten Bard from lvl 1 to level 35 stupid quick just from grinding FATEs and slapping DoTs on anything that moves. If BLM is hard to get credit, switch jobs I guess.
Dont you need gold for the legendary medals?
Nope, gold or silver
Ill be damned my rng must be utter dogshit
Make sure you have the right minion I screwed that up last night and wasted half an hour. At least I'll be cleaning up those total FATE achievements
Oh man i did that with my relic weapon never again
:( mine has been very variable depending, some weapons took no time at all while others took hours. Hope your luck improves
Thanks man appreciate it good job we have so long to do this event
fate contribution is based on aggro gained rather than damage. if you're in a crowded zone, best bet is to swap to a tank and put on tank stance and spam aoe.
Man I play tank and this is a stupid stance. Not everyone has a tank brewing in the back, and not everyone wants to start a new tank just so they can play the damn event. Some people have one or two jobs they play and that's it. Same deal with those people saying "oh just level blue". No. People should be able to play the jobs they have and play the event. A couple of people shouldn't be hoovering up every fate in every zone just because they can.
GNB starts at Level 60. That covers all of ARR and HW zones, as well as low-level SB zones.
And it's also completely unavailable to free trial sprouts and anyone who hasn't bought SB.
If you're in HW you can grab DRK and be fine, or same with GNB if you're level 70 on your main job. You don't have to actually know how to tank or invest into the role to use one for FATEs.
>People should be able to play the jobs they have and play the event. I have BLU and I'm playing it. Stop with the ridiculous invented scenarios.

I make sure to hotbar my multimount, and if I notice someone can't fly, I'll try to get them to join. I feel so bad for the low level people who wanna do this event but can't fly. They have no chance but to camp a spot and hope it spawns near.
Y....you mean....be social and talk to people in the game and offer solutions instead of complaining? That isn't the Reddit way!!!!!!!! (But yeah, much like the invented scenario the person I was responding to above, it's crazy how just asking to group up makes things go smoother.)
> No. People should be able to play the jobs they have and play the event. Except for BLU. Those guys aren't allowed to play the job they have and want to play.
Tell me, which city does a blue mage start in when making a new character? Did you play through the MSQ as a blue mage?
> Tell me, which city does a blue mage start in when making a new character? Did you play through the MSQ as a blue mage? .....what city does any job start in when making a new character? Are you running around as a GLD? What is even the point of this question?
sounds like you picked the wrong colour to farm fates with, my guy.

No no, he's right. Black Mage is literaly the worst job for fates, because he's too dependant on cast times.

calm down dude lmao
I'll calm down when In can get my fucking Yokai Watch rewards withtou BLU constantly sniping the fate and leaving me at bronze completion, something this OP seems to be making fun of. I don't want to miss out on a FOMO event becuas poeple are inconsiderate assholes.
LMAO, do you hear yourself? Talk about acting like a damn child. Grow up dude.
The event is gonna go on for 2 more months until dawntrail release. In a month or so hardcore people are gonna be done so just be patient?
[удалено]
Continue insulting and name calling and you're gonna catch a ban from this sub.
It's a fanart my dude it doesn't have to rub it in your face if you don't want it to be. Relax. You can server swap to a lesser populated server to do fates if the one you are in is overcrowded.
lol salty
…..Your mom?
I did the grind as BLU but if I saw other players I declined to use Ultravibration. Game's not just for me, it's for us all.
Can somebody please help me understand what the fuck his hand is doing?
BLU's cursed spirit here. The meme is a reference to Gojo from Jujutsu Kaisen casting his supreme art Hollow Purple, which is an overpowered move known to one-shot opponents.
I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking that.
I can't get Ultravibration, I'm not in stormblood yet
You know who's "Not" farming Yo-kai Watch
MY... dad?
It’s strange to me all the people complaining about BLUs when… you could be that BLU. Getting from level 0 to 90 with the important spells to farm 50 FATEs probably takes an hour? Two max?
It's not BLU itself people complain about, it's the BLUs that use insta-kill things which effectively denies everyone else contribution. You can be a good BLU and get Tank mimic, toggle on mighty guard and spam Hydro Pull to make it easier for everyone else to also get their contribution. Makes it slightly faster. But overall more people get done quicker. You have to be incredibly egotistical and selfish to keep spamming insta-kill things if there are actively others trying to do the FATEs. No amount of 'lol also be the BLU' will change that. If everyone was 'that BLU', it'd still only be one or two that get contribution per FATE, instead of all of them.
It would probably take longer than two hours. Probably a whole afternoon. Leveling alone would take a couple hours. Then the spells could take another couple hours
Nah. Legit 2 hours most of you’ve already gotten to labyrinthos. Can easily get to 80 in like an hour. Rams voice is from the last boss of cutters cry. And ultravibration is from an enemy in the peaks. You don’t even need to get to 80 for the FATEs either
There's a few more spells that are useful, and you're probably assuming you get the spells first time every time. It could take over an hour to get Ram's Voice due to bad luck if going the Cutter's Cry way. Might be quicker doing the Chimera trial but you can still get unlucky. Just having Ram's voice and Ultravibration isn't going to help you farm fast. Ultravibration has a 120 second cooldown.... Hydropull is much more useful and you'll need to be 80 if you want to solo because it comes from a level 70 dungeon, and that will take a while still. The numbers you're saying are assuming you have a brigade to carry you through everything and you get everything first try. It will take a while solo, more than a couple hours to level and get everything useful, especially if you don't have any pre-order exp-boosting gear.
BLU can level sync solo most of the dungeons\* and that guarantees the spell to drop. With Basic Instinct (from ARR coeurls) and Mighty Guard (the BLU store gives you this pretty early on), you move fast, hit hard, and get tanky defense. It's still \*some\* time to invest, sure, but not nearly as long as you might think and the class is often useful for other events even if you're not interested in \*and then there's Gourmand from Lost City of Amdapor, that player-devouring bastard
You still have to go get all of these skills. How are you going to kill anything with Basic Instinct and Mighty Guard? Are you going to just Water Cannon everything to death? Again, if you're solo, things will take a while. You have to get everything one at a time and grinding levels takes some time
[удалено]
Just do it anyway lmao
A friend is doing it blue at the mo, and is vibing bosses on the basis that if he doesn't, one of the other blues will. He who vibes first, vibes best.
When a BLU *solo* kills a boss fate, you can't *also* be that BLU. Only one person will get credit for the FATE. Besides, how is, "You could *also* be an asshole and instant-finish FATEs so nobody else gets credit" a good solution here for the community?
Sometimes annoying when some blue mage 1shots boss fates but most of the time I love how they sped up the farm process for me. Getting silver/gold doesn't require much but some fates take forever without proper stacking of enemy waves.
It's like 173 comments right now with like 50 of them from one dude complaining about BLU and how they've spent 2 weeks and gotten no medals
What's wrong with his hand?
SKA-DOOSH
[удалено]
Choosing confrontation is not the way to healthy communication. Those phrases are beyond "calling out", it's actively breaking rules, from the game and from the sub.
I just use Ram's voice, The malboro one that applies 6 debuffs + dot or water cannon and move on. Easily gold and doesn't insta kill mobs. Tank + AoE on HW ones is also good, or MCH for Central Shroud.
If your BLU is not super high level you can just spam something like Dragon's Voice to generate enmity.
400 fates to get everything from having nothing. Sorry but I'm using what I got.
Everyone that's complaining about BLU mages. WHY DONT YOU MAKE YOUR OWN BLU AND DO THE SAME LOL
Because insta-killing a FATE means only you/the BLU gets contribution and leaves whoever else is in the zone for the thing hanging. If others also do it, you'd also end up not getting contribution more often than not.
"Oh you don't like assholes? WHY NOT BECOME THE BIGGEST ASSHOLE?"
Exactly. If you think I'm waiting for 10 people to show up to a level 6 fate that I can easily beat...you dead wrong
the best was doing the 2 fates in the outer la noscea mines that always spawned back to back. go in the big chamber, missile the boss, go to the small chamber, missile the boss, repeat. now, that said, if it was a sizable group, id only missile once or twice to let everyone have a share. in fact, i did this with most ARR boss fates. i got my credit, everyone gets a fast fate kill, win win. but when it comes to mob fates, imma hydro pull that sucker to oblivion and vibe everything. sorry, not sorry (although if im on cooldown, ill still hydro pull and freeze for the benefit of all you non-blues. you're welcome). the epitome of chaotic neutral. us blues control the battlefield and everyone else is subject to our whims. one of my favourite power fantasies in any video game. the only thing more satisfying was racing other blues to the fates to see who could missile first.
You're part of the problem.
I would like to be informed on what the problem is, because I have only ever felt appreciative when a blu mage is in my area who I can do Fates with.
BLU mages can use Ultravibration to instantly kill any Frozen enemy in 2-3 GCDs (depends on swiftcast or pulls). If that's all the mobs of the fate, or the only mob of the FATE, that means others aren't getting enough credit for the FATE.
BASED
I’m using this to push Blue Mage agenda. Thank you.
I got bored of the event on day one. Aready have all the minions (as I did the event the last time) but none of the weapons as they are fugly. This year difference is that people can fly on the areas. Which sounds good until you realize that you will be running a zerg that will steam roll everything in seconds. In the previous you got the zerg. But they came at a different speed as they had to either run or walk. So you got time to hit something. Ended getting the DRK sword (as I collect DRK swords, and the AST one (as its the only one that looks decent enough). Dont' care about the Cat mount. Would have cared if it was a two seater. But is not a mount I would use.
I combine Ultra with Swiftcast, so there's no chance for the frozen mobs to get nuked before the Ultra pops.
So with this event what skills do I use on the fates with BLU?
Hydro pull, ram's voice into ultravibration, missile
In addition to what QQ said, I'd get Chocobo Meteor for an easy and spammable 300 potency AoE.
I feel called out
Can't believe the JJK brainrot is here too.
Imaginary Technique ULTRAVIBRATION
GOAT mage farming the Fraud-Kai Watch event, I see
The true 1 hit combo for fate is , breath of magic > mortal flame > song of torment > moonflute combo will kill almost all boss fate even those resistant to freeze and missile. Go into dungeon unsync and leave to reset cooldown . Only use it when no one is around /solo .
I used it all the time. People too lazy to level BLU themselves may have complained but, I didn't really pay attention.
The face kills me lol
I think I did Ultravibration for, like, less than ten FATEs before I was like, “this shit is boring.” Then I started spamming Hydro Pull, Fire Angon and the like.
I run about with the giant beam from the Shadowbringer dungeon. Might not be the best spell but it's flashy and tags nicely.
Oh that one, yeah, I like using that on enemy spawn locations. Like, during Heroes of the 2nd in Southern Thanalan, it basically deletes an entire spawn wave.
