blu is probably still gimped against NM's but at least Heavy Strike is awesome on regular mobs. it beats out QC for Damage/cost especially in abyssea with crit mods for it and CDC. and we are even further from needing a refresh atma (always good).

i mean we always needed /thf to be effective on NM's at 75, did you really expect it to change? at least people bring Blu to everything since it can do anything if needed (i've finished off VW nms etc when they killed the tank and started on mages. or tanked etc).

we just got a -15% dt spell, already had an 8shadow blink spell (almost instant cast), and already had great tanking spells; blu will still be badass this update.
