As a BLU enthusiast, I've been very impressed by all the changes so far to my favorite job and it was a bit overwhelming to figure out how to build the job at 90, since I spent so long at 75 and accustomed to those spells/traits/sc's.
So I spent some time & made an all around functional spell/trait/merit Build for BLU90.
This is NOT an end-all/be-all BLU90 build, but more a guide to aim for when your still leveling/farming. This build I use primarily and gives me a solid base for 'walking around' power. (of course this build may become obsolete by the time BLU99 comes around)
So I say add to this forum with your Builds and their function.
(I'm no elitist, & I'm all for the unorthodox methods [so long as they work] as well as the tried & true, so post away
