Yeah, I struggle to stay on par with them on VWNMs like Bismark, but I would say that's a different story. I go as Blu/Nin to proc more but equip double attack as it takes less points. Blu/War, I wish...but that requires too many points.

My current issue is that people are not wanting to invite me into their VW party from fear I won't do crap. This is an issue as the party ends up taking on a lesser job from me. Currently, this is happening as I am now playing sch in a pt already with a sch and several blm's already. The pt leader literally said F*** blu, and that he will never invite them into his VW pts.

Are any other blu's from other servers facing similar issues? I know MOST blu's are ignorant on how to play the job right. Is that the only reason as to why I'm not being invited or is this due to the # of procs we have to maintain? Idk...Thoughts?
Make your own pt, if you think you'd better to play on BLU. I have no idea why there are often ppl complaining about "I never get invited because I play X job" when you're free to make pt yourself.

And maybe once you start making your own pt, you will understand there are a lot more for a pt lead to think about.

Personally I do take BLU to majority of VW, but it's completely skippable. There are a couple of times I did skipped it in prov to save spots for my friend/LSmate that needs clear, since every BC is zerged and end in 2 min, have BLU or no BLU doesn't really make very big difference. For any VW needing red though, I'd rather have them for proc.
