Hello,

I have just started gearing up my Black Mage. She has received many hammy-downs from Scholar.

I have a few questions, as the guides seem a bit dated!

How many Ambuscade capes does a BLM meet, excluding the Enfeebling Cape? (I like the new Augmented one for enfeebling).

I think just Nuking Cape, which would be 30 Int, Macc/Mdmg,Mab, PDT

Then maybe Occult cape with STP, Int, MAcc/Mmg.

Any others?


What merit categories do you guys like to use? I went with Bliz/Thun for category one, but I think maybe Fire might be better than Thunder since usually monster have both Bliz/Thun vulnerability.

For Category 2 I went with Macc and Debuff effect but I was not sure what was good as I do not have much Black Mage experience yet.

I think the new Marid Staff +1 Augmented is better than the Lathi Path C, is that correct?

What are your thoughts on the Pixquizpan +1 with its +75 MAB, but only 186 Magic Damage?

Does the Job point magic burst bonus count towards the MB cap from gear?

How useful is the Su5 staff compared to others?

When soloing, which spells do you often use?

Which trusts do you use?

Thank you!
