Make Blue Mage a dps focused HEALER job.

[Nedkel]

I think everyone could agree with me on this that blue mage needs a complete rework and being made into a properly functioning job.

Since there is unbalance in the number of classes, what if we turn blue mage into a dps oriented healer?
Making it a pure healer wouldnt make a lot of sense from design perspective, so maybe SE should experiment with a healer that could do damage and heal at the same time?
With abilities similar to warriors nascent flash, where warrior deals damage and he heals other party member with it, blue mage could have something like that too and have some healing skills as well. Blue mage could also have some team mitigation tools or damage reducing spells too to make it all more diverse.
It will be something different to play and game would use some more healers.

Eh, to be honest, I don't think healers deserve or should get a recycled (re-purposed? refurbished?) job as their new healer job after waiting all this time for one.

[Mikhaill]

I really don't want BLU as a healer. I want a brand new healer.
I can agree that BLU needs some serious help.
I thought they'd expand on it a little by now.
Preferably making it part of the team of legit DPS
and not this Clown Fiesta Circus Show they have it as lol.

At this point, I'll take any solution that involves Blue mage becoming a full fledged class TAT

It's a bit late for them to transform a class like this, no matter the idea. There's a few ghost achievements already tied to it, and we know SE won't touch anything that has an achievement.

stop trying to make blu happen, it's not going to happen

[RightfulKing]

I'm not going to give up hope! ^O^/

[Urthdigger]

Nah. I'd love for BLU to be more viable, but it really doesn't feel like a good fit for this kind of playstyle. BLU has always been about using monster spells, and for better or worse there aren't a whole lot of healing ones.

I think Blue Mage would be better as a full dps job and good new healers could be Geomancer, Necromancer, Chemist, etc.

A DPS oriented healer job in the current game would be very unbalanced. No one would take the other healers if a healer could keep the party alive effectively while bringing better dps.
