WTF????? Why is Blue Mage being IGNORED????????????

[Neisan_Quetz]

That's because SE doesn't see them as nerfs, it sees them as 'balance adjustments'.

Other than slightly more set points or slots, not sure what Blu could possibly be missing. We had sucky WS, now we don't. The spells we had at 75 weren't awful, but they aren't comparable to the powerhouse ones we have now. Our magical spells are better, we have better sleep, self refresh, true haste, and better traits that make it so we can be something other than /nin and still maintain DWIII.

Honestly, other than a few minor things there isn't really much wrong with blu...it is in a decent spot with only a few pitfalls.

I think blu needs higher eva/parry maybe some long duration on buffs.

[echoelman]

The only broken thing with BLU is that some of its potentially badass spells are, well...broken. As in they (hopefully) don't work as intended. See Proth's bug submission at http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/th...cy-%28Still%29

I'm praying that Tourbillion isn't "working as intended".

[Tashan]

Our evasion's more than high enough. As for parry, eh, can't say since I'm still sitting at 250 Skill.

I wouldn't mind seeing more multi-enfeeble spells though. Auroral Drape worked well.

well personally (and i put this in the never going to happen stack) i wouldn't mind se taking the time to adjust are older magical spells (and make some of the spells that dont sound like breath attacks into true nukes hip press ext), unerfing breath attacks in the same stack. An ability to let stuff like berserk and brd songs effect blu attack would be nice too(not going to happen tho)

Now for more likely things there going to do, dropping diffusion to 5 mins with each merit upping duration of buffs (not sure how this will work with buffs that deteriorate tho) and as was said earlier raising the duration of some buffs would also like to see there casting time lowered(looking at you tusk barrier) if duration cant be extended.

[dragmagi]

Yeah the breath spells need to be unnerfed especially since most are fairly costly and slow to cast. Longer durations on the enfebs/ buff. Though i think we could use a way to see what enfebs are active on the mobs. We could also use nm spell ability on a duration timer instead of just 1 spell per use.

[Metaking]

yea guess i should have added to my list seeing all effects that land on spells aka "
Kon cast headbutt
Ballue takes 50 dmg
additional effect: stun

Honestly, the only thing I would like see adjusted is the amount of potential spells needed to proc weakness in Voidwatch. BLU is a versatile job in Voidwatch, but it is simply the worst job to trigger weakness on. Even if you have a spell build that gives some space for required spells needed for procing weakness, there's no way around having to wait 60 seconds until you can use your spells again.

SE, what exactly is your justification for having 32 spells needed for Blue Mage to proc Magical Weakness in Voidwatch? The most that could be asked for is to bring it down to at least 16 total spells. Or, if this is not an option, reduce the cooldown on spell swapping to 30 seconds.

This, without doubt. Logwatch is perhaps the most annoying even a BLU can go to because the shear number of possible procs. Even if you were to clear your set points of everything except for procs you can still only set half of of them for BLU. And since (for whatever ungodly reason) people don't think of getting 2 BLU, that leaves just one BLU to cover them all. Considering how fast people burn through LWNM that's nearly impossible.

Addressing that and the issues with Unbridled Learning (and the spells that need it to be used), some self-buffs, and adjustment of most of BLU magic would be welcome. Other than that the OP is a whining loser who shouldn't be a BLU if they can't recongnize just how good BLU has it.
