Related actions

Aetheric Mimicry

Flavor Text

Wild sabotenders are believed to have developed this ability to channel their aether toward others as a means of protecting particularly fruitful members of their species─as survival in arid climes ever comes at a cost.

Acquisition

Duties

Creature	Level	Race	Clan	Location
Sabotender Guardia	50	Seedkin	Cactuar	The Sunken Temple of Qarn (Hard)

Spawns during the second boss fight; moderate your damage output to not overkill the boss before this has a chance to spawn.

Tips

Acquisition Tips

Sabotender Gaurdia will spawn during the last phase of the fight against The Sunken Temple of Qarn (Hard), Sabotender Emperatriz (the 2nd boss of the dungeon). Once a diamond shaped barrier appears around the boss, the spell has been cast.

Other Tips

You cannot cast this spell on yourself, only on others.
- When you are mimicking a tank with Aetheric Mimicry, Cactguard can be useful in mitigating damage from mechanics targeting a specific party member such as a tank buster on the main tank.
Regardless, this action is generally inferior to other blue mage mitigation spells and has very limited uses.

History
