My BLM likes Frozen Fish

Black Mage:57 White Mage:53 Warrior:56 Thief:68

Yesterday, I had a good time leveling with my BLM, I got into a party with another BLM and, with some help from the party, I showed them the art of the Double Freeze MB = ALL DEAD. The setup was BLM BLM BRD NIN SAM THF. We were partying in Cape Terrigan against the Crabs and Fish and Raptors there. Later the BRD was replaced with WHM and we lost the SAM and got a WAR but even so we were still able to do Chain 4s using a different skillchain. It was a very good time but eventually we had to go. I got lucky enough to get immediately invited to another party but only after I had started my own party and had sent an invite. I had a BRD already and was about to get another BLM from my ls to party with us but we disbanded to join their group and they invited us but then didn't invite the BLM and had already gotten a RDM, so I sed forget it. I was sort of tired anyway from partying earlier.

Well that's when I guess my mood turned cuz now I felt like partying and I wasn't gonna wait so I started a party with a me as WHM then I got a NIN SAM THF, and then I was able to invite a BLM who actually sent me a /tell asking if he could party which was cool. This is where it got hairy though cuz we needed a refresher and I couldn't find one.

I did have a DRG waiting to party but do you think I should have taken him over waiting for a BRD or RDM? I dunno. I took the DRG and called myself lucky to have a full group. So we set out for Garlaige Citadel and started to camp weapons. Well in hindsight, I must have been tired from quitting the previous party cuz I didn't catch that the BLM had subbed SMN and I didn't catch that the SAM had subbed RNG. I didn't need any specialty DDs though, what I needed was a backup healer. I also needed a skillchain partner for THF. Well the DRG filled that role nicely but noone told him he was first voker so getting the party organized was sloppy from the getgo. That was later on. Right after we got to camp though the brazen BLM decided to go Carby-pull a weapon before any of us were set and we got our hiney's pasted straight away without me going over the strategy or nothing. This also without Reraise up. So I do the responsible thing as leader and homepoint and choco it back to the dungeon to Raise them.

It was my fault mainly I guess for not being meticulous in my instructions, but that BLM just threw all my plans into the waste bucket. He was like but-this and but-that. I mean if he was so smart (or she cuz it was a female character but real females arent so stupid), why couldn't he see that I needed a backup healer?

The SAM/RNG, bless his heart, decided that he would pull along with the THF. Both of them along with the NIN were having big problems with the DRG who wouldn't first voke. They would just stand there and call him names and stuff and the DRG would just run around like he was JP. I'm sure they were just trying to get him to do his part in the party I guess.

Well both of them pulling wasn't a problem until the two of them pulled 2 beetles and bat all at the same time at which point we almost died but our BLM used Escape. Then out of the blue the NIN decided he wanted to leave. I mean I was like "Why would you wanna leave this GREAT party?"

Later on I talked to my ls about it and Kirbyprime advised me that Over Weapons were RDM monsters that had a full set of buffs that they used and in hindsight I probably should have kept them silenced, but I was so thrown into the fighting and healing that I couldn't enjoy what I was doing.

I threw out an Erase spell every so often just for laughs. The bats did Area of Effect(AOE) Attack Down which reminded me that many such enfeebles are AOE which makes me think hey that Erase spell may not be so special after all. I mean who can afford to throw out 3 Erase spells in between Healing and Hasteing the party? For the most part, I didn't get to use Erase.
