BLU is actually as really good healer when needs to be.

Indeed they are. That, however, never stops one from going to the front-line because of game mechanics. Specifically, they need to set their spells for their role in the front. Just like they need to set their spells to heal. That's what I meant when I say they are protected by game mechanics.

Like I've been saying... En-Spell III

You fix what is currently in-game, not toss in something brand new just 'cause.

Easy fix, start the party...No one can complain what you do if you're the party leader. Or just start meleeing anyway, and cast spells as you normally would. I mean, I can most definitely still cycle spells while I melee. Heck, I've been playing two characters at the same time for God only knows how long. Again, it's Player Views, you can't change them if you don't put forth the effort to do so. I love PUP, it's a great job.

Cop out response. That's plainly unreasonable. Breaking the mold is what changes player views, and that's not something we as players can do.

Do PUPs get invites? Usually No. Why? Because people that don't play them, have no real clue what it is they can do. And often time it's the bad players of a job that prevent the advancement you want.

Correction. PUP doesn't get invites because the automaton has a built-in cooldown for spells (that can be bypassed by ADA). If the automaton could actually cover for a real healer and had refresh, PUP demand would skyrocket. The job would (very much like us) get pigeonholed into healing, as well.

I'm sorry, but if you're worried about the party then you shouldn't be complaining about being asked to cast spells over running a sword through something.

You're misunderstanding me. I said what I said because I hate seeing people bring up RDM soloing as an excuse to not change anything about the job. My stance is that other roles should open up to us in parties. We can't at the moment because groups benefit from having us do support and heals and gains next to nothing when we are in the front lines.

You really think that it'll move you closer to the front if you radiate any of those?

I wasn't the one who came up with the suggestion. Personally, that would have to be something that came as part of a greater string of changes. That alone won't do it, but it does cut the cast burden significantly (which is the only reason I endorse that idea at all).

If you believe that either of those sword are the sole reason you move up to "acceptable levels," then your faith in them is completely far too high.

They play off something that is truly unique to our class. I'm more peeved to see the developers go out of their way to make such weapons difficult to get. This would be moot if they tossed in a damage bonus to enspells as job trait or as baseline addition to composure.

PS: While cycling buffs from the front lines is doable, to me it isn't very fun. Not to mention spell casting cuts into our melee time.
