Blue mage Job adjustments

[Tennotsukai]

I wish they'd take a break from new content (except new blu spells) and make an update just for fixing these jobs that are in so much need of rebalancing.

SE is never going to comment on this post bwah!!!!!!?!??!

Please eliminate the 1 min recast timer / cool down in between Equipping blu magic

Please add more blue slots

Please add more blue magic to balance out ecosystems

[evanwimbish]

All of it was garbage. Attack bonus 3.5 included due to the absurd amount of spells you need for +42 attack...

[evanwimbish]

Please remove the 1 minute recast timer between equipping spells, If pup shouldn't have to wait, neither should blu.

Please add 10 blue magic spell points and 5 new slots, because we went from level 99-119 and did not receive any other way to increase these stats, it leaves the job unbalanced versus other magic jobs.

Please add more learnable blue magic for our Eco-system.

With the next version update approaching please consider any of these ideas to be implemented as well.

Blu mages that read this post; please click the star to like this post, so the dev team gets this fixed right away!

Camate can you give us some feedback about these current issues?..

[Tennotsukai]

Not as important, I wouldn't mind hearing something about new blue magic as well.

So why do you think the blue mage job should be another added tank job to the all ready added or changed to tank jobs in the game because I really seriously liked to know myself?

[Tennotsukai]

Blu has always been somewhat of a pseudo-tank, even in the 75 days. SE has even declared them somewhat-tanks via a reply they gave in a thread about magic giving too much hate when adoulin was new. Just today I tanked Colkhab the whole fight. It's not saying too much, but we can hold our own with what spells we have. I just want more...

Also, they didn't give us any spell names in that jp post, just the job traits we're getting with the 3 upcoming. Also, job traits of future spells will include dual wield, and future spells will be stronger somehow. That's pretty much all that they said. Oh, and we're not going to receive anymore spell slots.

As a bst, my job is also predicated on the ecosystem, I feel ya'll pain

The 3 new blu magic spells SUCK for the July VU and here is why

One is a 4 hit physical magic most likely for 6 points with dome stupid job trait like clear mind

One is an AOE wind which we have like 3 AOE winds already, I'm already doing 4k Dmg with 3-5 second recast on tempest.... Why not give us Ice AOE, or dark...

And the third version of haste for blu....
Going to mess up dual weild 3 , unless this spell adds dual weild for 6 points which would also suck and really only help out with animating wail or mortal rays 5 point cost... If it does not add dual weild,and something stupid like "auto refresh" then eeeeewwww

I very much hope the 3 new spells come in with 3 brand new job traits, as well as MORE BLUE SPELL SLOTS... If not then why introduce 3 pointless blue magics and not fix things like "water bomb was broken 2 months ago and now I can't silence tier III eft morimar with it",or ,please eliminate the 1 minute timer Inbetween equipping blue magic because zoning to get my spells on shouldn't be the only other way to do it..

You could always sub /NIN and get Dual Wield 3; save yourself like 15 or so points and a handful of slots. What is it exactly that you get from /DNC or /RDM that a decent healing job in your party can't supply in an organized endgame activity?

I'm genuinely looking forward to Erratic Flutter and the 4-hit spell. Not all spells were created equally, BLU has specific spells that move the job forward and I'm hopeful that 2 out of 3 of these spells will be worth casting.
