I Thought BLU Was Made For Solo Players

My experience with Blu, from the get go when they announced it, is it was always meant to be a "limited job." Something that had it's own gimmicky feel to it, but doesn't really fit in with 95% of the content that is in ffxiv. Doing the 8-man raids is junky since they couldn't code it to properly identify Tanks/healers/dps roles meaning some mechanics work out very strangely causing progression pains it shouldn't. While some spells and spell pairs are very overpowered in the grand scheme of things, the job as a whole is as others said just a caster job that can get some very minor buff adjustments using mimicry. If you were expecting something like FFXI Blu, you'll be disappointed. Well, it isn't really like any prior blu since it is a limited job that can't jump in normal parties/DF.


It is just....very different and a gimmick of a job. Has some content tailored specifically with it, but is by no means a full time job/class in the greater scope of FFXIV. After being someone who loved FFXI blu, I have to say FFXIV blu is pretty lack luster over all.

Even without that though, group BLU content outweighs solo BLU content. All solo BLUs get is the Masked Carnivale and being able to abuse Vibe Check. Meanwhile, even for levelling doing so in a group is encouraged. You level faster with other players, your dungeon grinds will be faster with other players, you can't solo BLU logs and pugging the BLU achievements is a nightmare. Even for learning spells, going into PF is advised because of how much faster it is. In dungeons you can vibe check each group of mobs instead of having to die, reset CDs and then vibe check the second w2w pack. In trials... it's just straight up faster. Castrum Fluminis is a 30 minute ordeal if you try to solo and one mistake sends you all the way back to start.

It's strange though. I see a lot of people complaining about FFXIV needing to feel like a MMO and needing to have multiplayer activities, but then you see people wanting BLU to be mostly solo.

You didn't have to be snarky and insulting to a random person but you chose to. That says a lot about you. Even for the shameless necro.

Be better.

You might be thinking you exposed a Player for a lack of skills.
But in reality you have exposed yourself of lacking skills.
Namely, social skills.
You may think the Player is bad in the Game.
But you have shown that you are overall a bad Person in Life.
I'm very sure, Every Person would prefer to fail in Game with this Gamer than to fail with you in Life.
