Blue mage Job adjustments

Please remove the 1 minute recast timer between equipping spells, If pup shouldn't have to wait, neither should blu.

Please add 10 blue magic spell points and 5 new slots, because we went from level 99-119 and did not receive any other way to increase these stats, it leaves the job unbalanced versus other magic jobs.

Please add more learnable blue magic for our Eco-system.

With the next version update approaching please consider any of these ideas to be implemented as well.

Blu mages that read this post; please click the star to like this post, so the dev team gets this fixed right away!

*searches for his new level 100-119 BLM spells without success*

I sort of do actually agree with you if I'm honest.
BLM can cast all its spells at any time as long as it has MP. Why not BLU?

But the timer is obviously there to stop people being able to switch sets on a whim during battles. For stat boosts etc.
Even me as a non BLU realises that.

Agreed, Give blue mage the kind of change ability other mage jobs have, its not 2007 anymore!

This post makes absolutely no sense! And I'm amazed 6 ppl blindly liked it because you tried to make it look informative but it's not and here is why.

Any blue mage knows that during the 1 min cool down u still get the stat bonus/job trait THE ONLY thing u can't do is cast magic,(unless unbridled learning /unbridled wisdom)which is silly! Fix it SE

Edit; I am aware that if you zone, you don't have to wait the 1 minute so please do not take too long to address this issue saying "we don't know how to fix it" or "this problem is currently being addressed" there is no reason we should have to wait 1 full minute to cast spells, If it HAS to be there, I'd be satisfied with 15-30 sec

You heard it here first, folks. Somebody is claiming that PUP has an unfair advantage over another job.

Unlike many other jobs, the 2 main reasons I see is:

1. Lore Related, given state of game now this no longer really matters.
2. Mechanics.

Blue Mage is still as of today the only mage job that gain traits and attributes from it's Blue Mage upon setting so small delay, while annoying, does actually make sense.

If the delay were removed, within a week, some industrious code monkey will release a third-party tool that exploits the lack of a delay.

Gaining TP? Equip Triple Attack, Dual Wield III, Accuracy Bonus, and Store TP.
Doing a self-skillchain? Drop those unnecessary Dual Wield spells, and add Skillchain Bonus.
Casting a nuke? Who needs Store TP and Triple Attack? Swap those out for Magic Attack Bonus, Fast Cast, and Conserve MP.
Rotate as needed.

I don't even know why I'm bothering to present a counter-argument. I don't think developers would do this. People seem to forget that these mechanics aren't put in place simply to make us miserable. ... Well, in most cases.

I wouldn't mind seeing a new iLvl ammo item or something that increases our spell capacity in some respect, similar to the tiers of avatar level increases in new SMN gear, but I don't really think it's necessary. Maybe, when you're soloing, you'll be able to equip some more debuffs without dropping offensive traits, but we're already one of the most solo-friendly jobs out there. Party play isn't going to change at all.

I would like to see some equipped job traits by spell's become an always on job traits per level such as dual wield I, II, III, and add in Dual Wield IV & V for Blue Mage's automatically<-{always on) all ready there as one of the job's main traits since a majority of the players would never play the job without Dual-Wielding weapons on the job as a major role as a blue mage. Now when they do the reforged for blue mage gears for this month of February and some relic reforged will be implemented at a later date as my understanding goes; I would also like to see the relic blue "reforged gears" to include Enhances: Dual Wield effect +[number] on the gears as to being able to move the only ear piece I have used to enhance this trait out of the ear gear slot because the trait is all ready included into the blue mage reforged gears to support the job trait as a main instead of a equipped job trait and also to alleviate some spell requirements to leave more room for other spell's as equipable job traits. I would like to see the dev team of creators come up with other area's to be included in the reforged slots, such as back, Ear's->2 earring's slot, the 2 fingers->ring's slot's, and besides the job specific ones to include the ammo slots as reforged armor slot as well as the neck slot but I couldn't remember if the neck slot was all ready included as reforged full set of gears to be included and this will be very interesting to see how they Par the reforged relic gears against the stats of the all ready stats of the Empy Gears. I find it very interesting that Empyrion gears support's some of the job traits that was never included into the blue mages relic gears to which I would like to see come to life into the blue mage's reforging of blue relic gears of the job itself. Well some of the topic may be off topic but you can understand where I was going with this? {yes/no?} :confused: :rolleyes: :confused: :cool: :p

Boy lot of people have never had to cover all the blu procs in VW, though everyone of the dee dees that like the guy up there are the ones that invite a blu then tells them they are the only one then complains that we had to reset our spells mid fight to get that blu 5 proc.

And yet you don't deny what he said would happen lol. As said, it's annoying but the mechanic makes sense. All they have to do is reduce the Blue Magic procs in Voidwatch, but obviously they won't do that.

That's the only true encounter where the delay on spell swapping is a huge hindrance.

Elexia and Revenmore, I think this guys main job is actually SMNer and not blue mage and I am also sure he has never had to cover all of the spell processing required to inflict it on the monsters in abyssea as well. :-D

BLM is not BLU, PUP is not BLU, SCH is not BLU... see a pattern? If you want to play the other jobs, play them, if you start making BLU like PUP, than its PUP not BLU. BLU is BLU because its BLU, and not PUP. How would the blues feal if I could raise my stats on BLM just by equipping spells? Then you would say that BLM is taking away from BLU. I enjoy the jobs for what they are, not because it is something different. And last I checked I was still 99... Yeah, Job levels are still 99, not 119. I have a few Items that have this 119 tag on them, but my BLU is still 99. If you all did another G Quest that I don't know about, please post it so I can get on it.

Imo, I would prefer more spell points and reevaluated spell point cost on all existing spells, lower the number of vw procs, and an innate dw 3. Have the dw spells now do something like crit dmg/Hit rate. More spells are always welcomed too.

Additionally, blu buffs need extended, breath spells need reevaluated, broke spells fixed, and lower the recast of diffusion.

I'm a BLU99, but nice to see that your Jump to Conclusions Mat is getting some use.

You're right about the proc'ing, though. I didn't play through the Abyssea/Voidwatch era, so the most I've had to do is half the elements at once, which still makes for a pretty flimsy BLU. But as somebody already said, that issue can be more easily addressed by simply cutting the number of proc spells in half, which would be easier to do, wouldn't call balance into question, and as an added bonus, would make Voidwatch ever so slightly less annoying than it is currently.

Also, addressing another complain from the OP, we just got eleven new spells. And most of them don't suck. How many spells did BLM get with the launch of Adoulin? How 'bout WHM? I'd ask a SMN, but I left my riot armor at home...

Firstly, your font is horrible on the eyes, so I won't be quoting that, please don't make it so small in the future. ><;

As for the idea itself, I think if they are to do this they need to just give every job Dual Wield who primarily uses single handed weapons. BLU has it as an option at least, and while every BLU with DMG in mind will take that option they do need to make sacrifices in their spells to do so. Other jobs like RDM and BST have to sub NIN or DNC in order to Dual Wield their primary weapons of choice as well, that is their sacrifice, but to give up BLU's need to sacrifice you are basically leaving those two as the only two jobs in the game that primarily uses a single handed weapon and yet has no native Dual Wield to accommodate it. Dual Wield is the most vital thing in balancing the damage between a 1-handed and 2-handed DD, and out of all jobs who are capable or meant to truly be on the front lines of a battle, RDM, THF, PLD, BST, NIN, BLU, and DNC, 3 of them have Dual Wield natively, NIN, DNC, and THF, then PLD arguably does not need it because of it's shield providing not only defense but additional TP feed which allows for a sort of offset to the disadvantage of having no Dual Wield. That leaves RDM, BST, and BLU, all 3 of which lack it but can get it via their sacrifices, and BLU is really the one most easily capable of giving up what must be in order to get Dual Wield, because setting a few spells may be a waste, but its not as much a waste as using a subjob like NIN for literally nothing but Dual Wield, while BLU is capable of using WAR as a sub to get all of its attack buffs that boost its damage incredibly.

My personal idea is DW3 natural for all 3 jobs, since the gap between 2 and 3 is so large anyways and would play a big part still, or if possible maybe even make an additional tier in the center of 2 and 3 like they did with some BLU traits such as Fast Cast(tier 0 has 5% rather than the normal 10% tier 1 Fast Cast), then have RDM & BST on this new tier 2.5 Dual Wield with 20% Dual Wield while BLU gets Dual Wield 3 with the standard 25% Dual Wield.



Basically though, if you do it for BLU, I say do it for RDM & BST too, maybe even PLD as well, because at this point Dual Wield has become so standard that every 1-handed DD needs it in order to compete, be it by spells, or subjobs, and if you are going to take out the sacrifices 1 of these 3 jobs needs to make, at this point, its best to just even the playing field and give them all at least some level of the trait to make it fair.

you do know that job traits are instantly active after finishing seting blu spells.... only casting blu spell is restricted for 1 min. So your point is invalid.
Besides if you drop all dual wield spells you end up one handing and loosing all the TP lol

well blm did not need new spells there elemental magic got such a bad ass up date i mean even if blm got tier 6's no one would use them they made 1-3 so much more awesome, i mean only thing blm needs is more mobs to have mp to aspir >.>;. whms what would you give them as a new spell, other than like amnisina or charmna, and smns yea lets not touch that less we have heavenly strikes raining on down from up high.......

Thank you everyone for making this post come alive!!! Please more comments!!! We need to get this issue fixed! And we need to show the DEV team that the ffxi community needs to be more interactive with the development of the future of ffxi!

With that being said there is NOTHING wrong with fixing the recast timer!
There is NOTHING wrong with adding more learnable magic!
And WE NEED MORE MaGIC SLOTS! Only being able to use 20 spells is not enough! How can we enhance ourselves?!?

It's not like I'm asking them to fix the HORRIBLE barrier tusk -10% phalanx which has no way to increase its potency making it useless considering u get more from /rdm or from a job giving it to you.
Or the TERRIBLE 6 points to equip most of the new spells (yes I read the post saying they did this because of the job traits)

I'm simply asking for more points , spells, slots, and we NEED them to progress as blue mages.

With item level and all the magic damage gear on top of other adjustments blm got a massive boost so I would say you got T1 to 3 back as viable nuking spells again. Whm is perma invite so they don't have a pot so to speak. Snm yeah you got it there but they are still needed for some content.

Didn't see this when I posted but stats from spells are also active as soon as you set the spell.

Giving blue native DW would actually allow blues the ability to put on other traits one normally would not be able to put on. Also you only have to put on three spells for procing in aby every hour and still be semi decent.

I think she needs to drop DMG cap off lower lvl spells. Then we'd get more usage out of the spells we spent hrs ( and sometimes days to get). Also she needs to redo the mp cost of many ( mostly magical spells) blue spells and DMG ratio.

I would really like to see some type of update for blue mage , the short list of spells was not enough ;(

I believe every job should get at least DW1. For most jobs it would not matter anyway, and DW1 is low enough that most of the time if you were actually meleeing there would still be an advantage to subbing a proper DW sub. It would just open up job options a bit.

Also re: lock out on spells, I can see argument re: 3rd party tools if there was no delay at all. But no need to have such a long delay 15 seconds would be more than enough to make shenanigans not worth it.

Also agree: please remove cap on damage on lower level spells, lower diffusion recast by at least half.

While the DEVs seem to be replying a lot lately, maybe they'll see this. Please fix it so that blue magic isn't always the lowest priority for spells. When a WHM casts cure on a BLU with magic barrier on, it erases the effect even if its stronger. So if I cast a magic barrier that absorbs 500 dmg due to skill level, why does a whm cureskin erase it when the stoneskin is weaker. There are quite a few BLU spells like this I can't think of offhand, but it would be a nice adjustment to let this spell get more use for magical casting monsters in large scale events like Delve.

Some spells are even up to the cost of 9 points almost 10 points for one spell for your use of it with your Assimilation maxed out 5/5 to which is limited of around 60 points if I recall it right with the max merits.

Well if we were to set spells rounded off at 10 points per spell than we would only have 6 spells that we could equip total vs. all points used up and if it where 5 points then we could equip about 12 spells & 6 points even less but when it comes to equipping spell's, just to set up some job traits and not necessarily to be used to cast but to set up some job traits with the spell points varying so much; we can automatically use up more points quicker then the amount of points available even more so than if we were to go ahead in skipping job trait spell's and just did all spell's very small point cost to have more spells to use but of course at the loss of all job traits possible.

I don't know about anyone else but it does seem at times when se or dev team does stuff; they some times don't include real math in the equation or just forget to do the math when it comes to a mathematical point system, such as the system as blue mage's have to use as a point system in setting spell's vs max limited number of equip points on hand.

I just wish the gears that enhance assimilation on blue mage's own merited job trait would actually Give blue mage's some more blue points to use but "nope" it only does this: Gives more to{magical critical hit Rate +} to which that is great and all but shouldn't it also enhance assimilation's point system giving blue mages more points to use for equipping higher tier cost of spell's/More spell's or just give blue's more of a chance to be versatile between front line support + front line Curer supportive effects without loss of blue mage dmg dealing on the front lines.

Granted we have a few jobs that probably can work in that sort of way and dnc maybe an example of that way but I also see it as a means to help out in certain roles such as having whm's role in the back-lines attempting to keeping the whole party alive, specially when it comes to delve runs to which blue mage seems to be obsolete in such delve runs as Tojil.

I like to see blue mages to be more versatile in what it can do as job between supportive + damage dealer + other on the front lines, all of it at the same time of any given battle. Just in general making blue mage more versatile job would make it a very curious interesting job indeed, granted even though the rune job may all ready have some of this ability on the front lines as a job.

The tp aspect's in blue mages I would like see a blue mage gain a spell that gives tp regain perhaps going along with regen & refresh line of spell's blue mages all ready have; granted there not exactly tier 2, tier 3, or more on there regen & refresh monster spell's. the idea I like in this is that it makes blue mages solo SC's{Skill Chain's} more playable/pliable at much more decent rate; ganted it can it be outdone Quicker by other players SCing together or even interrupted the ability of your solo sc by someone else's scing in between your using your weapon skill and having SC job ability activated to using your spell in the process as a solo SC weapon skill.

I have always like the idea when it comes to certain jobs when it comes possible but very rarely to have found both tp regain + builds tp gears/weapons but regain on the hand is hard to find for weapons & gears, specially when it comes to blue mages & only one sword comes to mind but at the cost of use of blue mages mp pool to gain the regain effect.

Dnc would definitely benefit from this set up as well to which I currently using as a sub on my blue mage job. Well enjoy everyone and I just know you'll bounce even more great idea's off this post of mine into including your own findings and such from my posted reply/comment here or out my research with playing the blue job as well. {I hope this text doesn't shrink on me but it is shown on my laptop as normal size and I have my windows text size settings set up to be Large size text standard in general; it might be some of you will have to check your windows settings as to the reason behind the small text of my posts but I will also not switch it into the forums Times New Romans font setting as well into maybe help with your seeing of my posts to have such a fine size print of written letters and sentences of my stuff that I have posted. I will set it to the forums set text size of 1 for you ability to help you see it here and your very welcome too. :o :) :cool:

All right on my blue mage post I want you guys to let me know if it is still too small or if I need to make it even bigger or smaller again so I can go ahead re-edit the size of my previous post's again thank you.

Really, I say stick to the default, default is fine, no need to specify a size in your post, breaking it up every lil bit would be easier on the eyes as well. :x

I may just be misunderstanding that alphabet soup of a post, but no single spell comes close to requiring ten points to equip. The highest is six, from some of the Adoulin spells that were added recently, each of which grants a Job Trait on its own without having to be paired with something else.

I was just using it as an example mostly and 9 by combined spells for some job traits.

I really hope more spells are coming in the near future... which are good. I'm so tired of being asked to play as monk when my blu obviously out parses many monks on my server as well as provides utility as dumb as that sounds. More spells could help alleviate this issue.

-> Correction to end of the title: *all of the blue mage spells all ready in place.*

I was going say that blue mages all ready do have a ton spell's that we are going to be unable to use based on the point system set in place for now and yes they do have new spell's out that include job ability traits alone with them but have you noticed the points cost on those same spell's is set up to cost the same amount of at least two spell's would of done for that particular job trait to which you really aren't gaining ground in use that solo job trait spell to set your job traits but ironically your just losing grounds for use of another spell to gain the very same job trait.

I do like the idea of seeing new spell's but I also like the idea to see some old spell's revamped or I suppose in game terms it be called reforged of the some old blue mage spell's all ready out there in use by us blue mages and not only that maybe to make some of those old spell's have job traits alone as well. They could also revamp/reforge some of the point costs on some of the spell's we all ready have as well as keeping that idea in mind when it comes creating new blue magic/physical spell's learned from monsters to be added to the list of spell's of the future to blue mage.

Well now words of future and past were brought into mind all that did was made me think of a time machine, lol.

You are very welcomed my good sir; evanwimbish!! (-;

If anyone has blu spell ideas you can use this tread to post them as well, just try to keep the main topic in mind as well

Feather barrier +30 eva with a duration of 5 minutes, yeah. This type of fix would be nice.

We still have quite a number of mob types we've yet to learn from as well.

Blue Mage Currently has around 170 spells and its pretty sad that we could only equip 20.

~They should allow us to atleast equip 50 spells, and as for the Blue magic points they should increase our points to 100 at max level, and decrease the points necessary to equip spells for instance the new spells from "Seekers of Adoulin" should cost 3-5 points to set while the older spells should cost 1-3 points to set depending on efficiency. In addition make magical blue magic as fast as physical blue magic and drastically reduce MP cost.

Upheaval was a good start.

Looks like blu escapes the VU ( - . - )

There probably just busy with everything else that is going on. I bet they are secretly far behind and attempting to catch up or get ahead with content that will be out there in our gaming's future to which is to be unknown to us yet. All I am saying is it might take a longer time for them to get into the blue mage job and be making changes with all of the new content in the works along with tons of other fixes or bugs currently being worked on; such as fishing adjustments set to be done by march. Basically, give it time for the dev teams to get around to it and I do not know if this thread for blue mage changes started with a Dev-tracker code or not but I bet the dev's probably use it as a reference file to tag it and find it faster again.

Well I do like that idea of having usage of about at least 50% of spell's in some form to weather it's there just to set abilities and be used as a casting spell or there to be used as a great casting spell but most of us are hoping for both; plus the changes to the point system in cost verses amount available in the point system to summarize this thread a bit. Well I would first like to see on revamp on all that I mentioned first then after that has been done; we can finally have new spells that will follow through with the new system but only after the fix to the system has been done into adding new spell's to our repertoire to maybe pars against side by side our friends in the rune job business.

Blu and run when compared side by side into thinking on what else blu should be able to do for the changes to happen for this job when you can combine the significant's of our rune & dancer into the mix. The goal-however-is to stay with in the lines of into getting additions/changes to blu for this thread to stay active in it's progression of a eventually completed goal to which as you can see I did step off track just a bit here and there.

They were supposed to give blue new spells almost back since they showed smns the teaser for Cait. They just now got back to smns with the get your happy dance and shouts/yells ready in March. So hopefully they haven't forgotten about the new spells part.
