2xBLU In PartyFollow

Thus far I've leveled with 2-3 in a party BLU's from 12-24, 28-33, and 68-73 on different jobs. I can't say how much I love having them in the party, the dunes range is great for the gobbie bomb stuns, qufim is great (get a mnk and bludgeon bones at night.... they die FAST with blu and mnk), and jungle is great because of cocoon since mandy's hit weakly anyway thus blu can tank, DD, and backup heal.

As for the later levels, more than one BLU is really only great with a really good BRD or COR AND a RDM. No WHM. Diamondhide, healing breeze, magic fruit, and DD spells mean no main heal necessary just as long as they're getting 6-8 mp/tick most of the time from refresh, ballads/evokers, and sanction or macro'd vermy. With a good tank you'll be getting regular chain 7-8 even in Bibiki on VT, low IT.

Hmm my perma consists of 4 of my friends - NIN COR BLU BLU - so our parties always have 2BLU in them, and our parties always rock. And if i see BLU seeking i sometimes invite a 3rd BLU to the group. Last spot is usually for RDM or BRD to dispel mobs.

Honestly, I think 2 blus speeds up a party. One of you sticks to enfeebling while the other dmg dealing. I have been in LOTS of partys with 2-5 other blus. I think 2 blus in one party is better then 4.

I love having another blu to take the magic work load off my shoulders. Because all of our debuffs stacks with every other jobs. Its tough making sure your doing your job debuffing and getting off the SA-Claw Cyclone while chaining, and trying to keep up MP.

I can say that i've partied with other BLUs from my first party up to now. It is nothing like having other BLUs in the group to help kill off the mobs quicker. BLUs are serious damage dealers together and are capable of handling mobs with no sweat. So i would say yes you and your friend can party together if a group will accept you both. More than likely you will have to form your own parties just to keep you two together. I wish you both the best of luck and welcome to the BLU family!

Also with the two of you staying together, you guys should be able to acquire your spells with no problem since you will be double teaming the beasties! Happy Hunting!

IMO the more BLU, the better (if they know what they're doing (Str/Acc/MP set-up, good food, solid spam sequence >.>)).

2-3 is great for your standard PT set-up (Main Heal, Tank, Blm/Support, blu x 3). I've also had some really sick JP, blu-Burns, consisting of 5 blu and a Whm... talk about a stun-lock O_O. The poor mob gets torn apart.

For low lvl blu burn PTs I would suggest /Nin for hate bouncing.

Don't forget /thf, /war, /rdm and others. All very viable. If you sub /nin or /thf, buddy subs /rdm or /whm, you have a debuff/healer/dddddddd in both packages...
