Even without an 85 Almace (yet) I'm still allowed to melee on blu. Usually varies group to group, mainly cause they have all seen how bad the job can be played and would rather not take the chance. A well geared and common sense blu can melee without almace, but you'll do a good deal more with an 85 almace. Probably the biggest issue with blu is people forget just how much TP the spells feed and only gear to do spell damage rather than melee/ws damage too.

Although Almace users just get to tear shit up with the oversized sword.
This is a good suggestion on those stubborn NM that have nasty AOE or are just physically resistant to damage. A good mage build and right atma can put blu up there with Blm, and in some cases surpass a blm. Some of the spells allow for up to 21 range away casting, other 15, and some of the newer ones 12' (just out of normal AOE range).
