Blu Tp Set and WS set Suggestions for upgrade :D

[Transmit]

That is horrible advice to give about VW, even if you're dragged along just for proc's a good BLU can put out impressive numbers and really contribute to damage more so than a lot of other jobs could.

BLU/war with an Almace, set triple attack, dual wield 3, a few utility spells and keep the rest free for proc's. Use good food and stalwarts and you're able to do some highly impressive attacks. I've not tried the new 99 tier mobs yet, but the old tier Pil, Kaggen, Akvan, Qilin etc my BLU could easily average 1700~ CDC's on them, even at the 95 cap. I'm not saying you'll beat the core DD jobs, but you can be so much more than just a "proc monkey". And with the arrival of the latest hint KI I can go 2-3 fights at times without hearing "HV/EV BLU!".

If you can't melee the mob? Change up your atmacites, gear for nukes, and contribute with Dark Orb and Regurg and the likes. Theres no point coming along to be a dead weight for proc's only, and you may as well play the job to the best of its ability.

I know within my LS I've slowly graduated from being shoved in the BLM party, to being accepted into the main DD parties (Cor and brd buffs! huzzah) due to how well I've been doing.

Edit - Also when it comes to Abyssea you realise that you only need 3 spells for yellow procs, the current day's element, the next days element, and the day prior's element. Theres no reason to keep all 8 spells equipped for Abyssea.
