It's really not. They are fixated on being a BLU and throwing CDC instead of having their own niche. They ask to be on DEX gear so that they can clog their inventory space and not have enough room to be a well geared mage.

I've asked for magical melee fixes that incorporate things like better enspells, Occult Accumen, and magic attack based WSs like Uriel Blade from Campaign and all they want to do is talk about RDM should be BLU. It gets rather tiring.

Apparently wasting time talking about WSs we are the worst at using is more constructive to them then focusing on our gear and coming up with solutions that would compliment our strengths.
