BLU is one of the most gear extensive jobs in the game. You can't scream "They have too much utility" and then say they don't have to gear for that utility. Would say the only jobs comparable to BLU gear wise would be maybe RDM, SCH, PUP, and BST. Maybe throw in SMN there.



You are severely under playing how many sets BLU uses. You can't place one job based off a terrible player, and another on a competent player for your sets example.

Blu healing + blu white wind(hp+)
Macc/Add effect for Sudden Lunge/spells with additional effect
Blu physical spells(different mods for spells)
really many more, but it is silly.


BST is way better at soloing than BLU, unless you're including with trusts and lower tier stuff. Then sure?
RDM is better at soloing than BLU
PUP is better at soloing than BLU

DNC is a better DD than BLU, but I would say is worse than BLU at soloing. Unless whatever you're fighting doesn't have much HP.

SCH is king at soloing, and it isn't even close. Would place BLU around 4th or 5th at soloing.
