BLU <Lowing> spell: good for WYRMS or not?

[Negorissimo]

I was looking up BLU Spells while at the office and came up with this spell. Then I started thinking what it could bring to End-Game BLU
(since 1,000 Needles is worthless untill we max Magic Accuracy Merits).

The spell: http://twpa.net/ffxi/spells/detail.php?id=402

Do you think it will stop or lower the wyverns Regen? If it does, think of the time it will cut in wyrms (Vrtra, Ouryu, Tiamat and Jormungand).
I know the spell acts on the player when we are resting, but since the mobs don't rest it might kick instantly and prevent their Regen/Refresh advantage.

Since it's Fire based it will MB to Light and elevate the chances of sticking it. ^^

Please post your opinions or actual experiences <Yes, please!>.

Sounds too good to be true.

it won't... it causes plague, just like the normal lowing from buffaloes, and plague gives a -3HP/MP/TP per tick effect, and also prevents you from recovering HP and MP while /heal, it doesn't stop regen effects.

 

[Negorissimo]

It was a good try...

Uzor delivered the sad news and yea, it was too good to be true. I wanted to be certain of the effect.

But the -TP attribute if the spell is active will lower TP gain for the Wyrm. That will help Absorb-TP and other TP centric enfeebs.
So it won't spam attacks. ^^

Yeah Lowing doesnt lower HP, but I am still surprised that BLU get this spell, I remember duoing buffaloes and thinking how ridiculously good it would be. With Lowing on and never missing a hit my tp would lower by 10% still over about 30 seconds. On HNMs and what not it would be useful, but only stacked with absorb TP imo.

I think I read the blu version lowers HP instead of TP...maybe I'm wrong ;x

What the link said was nullify hp gain. I'm not entirely sure if this is true because I never payed much attention to my auto regen on buffaloes. Just my experience is that only tp and mp are reduced. I'm not entirely blu smart, but can their spells do added effects that the mob ability would not do?

You are right about the buffalo abilities..and I dont think blu abilities are different too often...but I read it on mysterytour I think...it could be wrong.

It just says that lowing for a blu just causes it so a mobs hp and mp can't be recovered. I don't know how accurate that is, especially since mobs can't /heal. ;x

wasn't there a thread on KI of a guy sucessfully sticking lowing on aspidochelone for about 15 seconds and actually nullifying his regen.. while in-shell? in the OG BLU thread.

i think Aspids shell healing counts as /heal. It doesnt nullify mobs latent Regen effects, like Kirin or Wyrms.

What I intend to find out with this is if it actually works, in some way. Quetz has some 75 BLUs. Somebody must have at least tried...

I'm BLU 64 so I can't post my experiences... yet. ;D

I'm not sure, people over at BG tried to see if it works, and according to them, it did nothing
