@scuro... I did say that blue can pump more damage, but for greater threat. Physical spell are limited by the mob your facing though. High defense/evasion can effect your damage. Though, magical resist can also affect RDM's. I DO see blue as the more "damaging" of the Mage jobs..at least physically. But all it takes for a Bluemage to go down is a silence spell and a dispel or two...the same for any Mage jobs. Physically, I think blue are more squishy then RDM's. Without /nin, a blue would drop fast, being that nearly all of their solo buff spells take forever to cast.

Really it's flavoring or play style that makes ALL jobs interesting to me. I play and level them all.
