The problem is that, sadly, most groups aren't inviting you to DD. They're inviting you to proc, quickly and efficiently. That's the sad life of a blu in voidwatch. Most of the time as blu you're going to be in the "blm" pt; you know, the one with little to no melee support. Inb4 "that's what temp items are for." Yeah they're great, til the group is struggling with procs and you run out of fanatics and potions. Then there are those blus that can't land their procs, either because they just suck or they aren't capable of balancing their attempt to melee in full af3 (+1 or +2) while actually doing the procs the group is expecting them to do. I've seen some of the blus on here say they only proc when it's a 3 (hv), 5 (ev) or there are 2-3+ blu procs. It's a fine road to take, if you can handle it. I've just resigned myself to the fact that if a group is needing a DD, they aren't going to invite my blu. They're only going to invite my blu if they need blu magic procs. It really sucks, but that's the mentality of most vw groups. Keep pushing foward, melee (in not stupid gear) if you want to and as long as you can keep up with the procs the party is expecting, you'll be ahead of a lot of the blus out there.
