BLU for Duty Finder and Raids! Show your support!

I support this. I also support them actually putting effort into the job instead of making a bunch of useless status effect garbage and like 5 actual damage abilities.

Long time blue mage fan and what they did to it here almost made me quit the game back when it came out. Actually more dead on arrival than Diadem and that's impressive.

I understand they don't want BLU to rampage through content like it is nothing (if mowing down achievement fates is anything to go by), the least they can do is let BLU be now accessible all the way to Stormblood.

They mow down certain achievement fates like theyre nothing due to being able to use the instant KO attacks on those fates. In dungeons almost all bosses are immune to these skills anyway, and for trash nowadays theyre mowed down stupid fast without BLUs help

they would probably have to re-work blue in order for it to work in dungeons.

I don't think they would allow some of those skills into a dungeon they are very over powered.

I don't play blue haven't tried it but I seen cousin play it and yeah that job is crazy at level 50 with those skills.

Except its really not that crazy.
White wind is strong but no substitute for an actual healer
Mightyguard isnt really a replacement for an actual tank, but you dont really NEED a tank to run dungeons anyway most of the time
Its DPS output is actually really balanced, its below rdm at 50 playing optimally.
Only thing that really needs looking at is the power behind the self destruct combo (forbid self destruct usage in dungeons) and the instant kill moves working on some bossfights (usually inconsequential ones but hey)

Wouldn't matter, because Blue mage would be marked as a DPS and party finder would come into play imaged 2 tank 2 healer 4 dps and all DPS were blue mage, white wind then diamond to prevent wipe out no beating the team its too much lol

as I said it would need some fixing before it goes to party and dungeons.

Well if they were spamming white wind and diamond back youd probably get beaten by the dps check lol in any content that matters

Edit: stacking all of one class is also a really bad idea due to limit break generation being gimped, as well as losing out on party bonus' losing out even more dps in the long run.

I am happy with how blue mage turn out it not connect to dungeon/raid content it a end game jobs. i would like suggest to you all to come up with mage job that could be new to ffxiv that more am for tank job or dps that isn't blue mage. the honest truth is i happy for limit jobs because add job like beastmaster and puppetmaster. i could see these limit job run dungeon together and such. my suggest is think other job. i like see something that more avoidance tank job that is mage because it hasn't every been done before.

I think i know what youre trying to say, but we're never getting an avoidance tank in this game. Also I'd rather not get limited Beastmaster/Puppetmaster if theyre gonna be as vapid as Blu is. Limited jobs running dungeons together won't magically make up for the fact theyre running old content with no interaction with endgame
