| To undestand the fundamentals of SMN and BLM we must first look to the origins of the game it self. In oriental culturs the belief in a balamce of elemental properties is inportant to harmony in life ans spirit. In the game FFXI everything can be associated to one or more elements. I present to you the elemental chart for FFXI. How To Read the Chart The first thing i want you to do is disreguard the white/dark elements becuast the are only opposed from each other and there are realy no DD associated . What is inportant to understand is that each element is strong against one ans weak to a different one. The 6 elements form a circle of one element over the next. So, for example, earth is weak against wind becuas the wind element is over earth. Additionaly, earth is strongest against lightning, once again, earth overlaping lightning. The chart does have a shred of commun sence to it. Fire melts Ice Ice chills the wind Wind errodes the earth Earth grounds lightning Lightning travels through water Water puts out a fire Choosing Your Elemental Spells It is inpotant to know what elements you target is weak against. Elemantals are easy, just hit them with the highest spells you have with out using the spell the matches the elemental and what it is strongest against. A Earth elementat will be almost inpervius to Earth, and lightning spells, so use wind (it's weakness) and the 2 other of your high spells. Mobs from COP are not listed and other that are not listed do not have a elemental weakness. The ? is for unknown. |
