My favourite part of doing FATEs is half the of big boss FATEs that require a party to do can't even be solo'd by BLU.

Lazy For You in East Shroud? You're synched to level 22 to fight a level 20 boss and not even Lv. 5 Petrify works against it let alone Tail Screw, Missile, or Doom.

It's Not Lupus in Eastern La Noscea? Lv. 5 Petrify doesn't work on it anyways due to its level, but neither do the other abilities.

I missiled Tail Screw'd Gorgimera to death just to mail the minion to a friend saying it's literally the only thing BLU is good for.

It's almost 2 months of me ignoring it because there's nothing to do with it except blow up in town, and I don't even do that anymore.

I'm praying that dumb boss FATE in Dravanian Forelands isn't immune to Doom because it prevents the FATE needed to spawn the S rank from showing up as long as it's active.

This is pretty much my biggest issue, I can't get the last few abilities because no one is interested in farming them anymore. My next biggest issue is that BLU is not the broken, so OP it couldn't be a normal job, job that was promised. Everything feels weak, like the potencies need to be cranked to the maximum, or there needs to be more interaction between spells to improve this.

It was sorta fun up until level 30ish (perhaps not coincidentally when the Brand New Ring bonus exp stops, and I don't have any bonus earrings). Leveled up quick and easy, plenty of spells to pick up as you manage to improve your survival skills. By about level 35, I'd picked up just about all the open world spells available (everything except Loom, I think, and technically Dragon/Ram, if Gorgimera was done more often).

After that point, it becomes tedious. Grinding out levels until you hit the limit for the next dungeon that might have a skill until 50, when I assume it might be a little less terrible just for having more options to try to learn. As is, I've really only got enough energy for it to just zip around for easy low level boss FATEs to knock out with a few thousand needles to clear that entry in the challenge log.

To be honest... I forgot it was even in the game until like a day ago when I noticed the job symbol there in my saved gear sets. I switched to it just to mess with the poses and then went back to a non-limited job to actually do stuff.

The primal skill drop rates is a huge barrier for me, given that not many want to spam them for BLU, it just doesn't seem feasible until they nerf it.

Masked Carnivale: Not that interesting, would feel better if I had all the skills, see above.

Basically waiting for RNG nerf and potency buffs, then I'll be inclined to play it again.

I use it every time Chernobog is up. Never otherwise.

Used BLU to max level my Chocobo to 20 then dropped it like a hot potato. Have not touched it since a week after it launched. Probably won't ever touch it again.

I jump on it just to run around, but there's honestly nothing to do with it. Wish there was cuz I love the class. Really wish I could do squadren missions on it
