BLU Balance

[OmnysValefor]

Try for a moment to imagine a Thief being able to remove "Resist Gravity" or "Evasion Bonus" and replace them with "Attack Bonus", "Accuracy Bonus" or "Magic Attack Bonus". Ninja's have "Resist Bind" and "Subtle Blow", both of which are useless in a full on DPS race. ...

Accurate but add in giving up SA and TA, because anyone would give up a non-dps trair for a dps trait. Different weapons and ws types. Maybe dnc giving up flourishea but keeping steps (-def) is a better example.

The only offensive unique buff blu keeps is Nature's Meditation (since your group can haste cap without blu).

Truthfully, I know that's not quite an even trade, but that's what blu is these days. CA and BA have little relevance.

In a melee zerg, ca isn't worth using. In mage, you'll not be relying on CA to skillchain and BA will probably cost more mb damage than it gives.
