BLU Ultimates in 5.4?

I want a gold ucob cane on for my BLU that would be dope.

I wonder what they are going to allow or not allow regarding Blue Mage at 70. They technically would also be able access BA wouldn't they? That would be interesting.

they won't be able to do ultimate and BA just no way.

Ultimates maybe since you can make a pre-formed group to do content (though it's hard to know if they'd be able to clear or not... I never do ultimates so I can't speak to that end)

BA is probably a no considering you have to go into Eureka to do it, and Eureka is instanced content you're not entering with a preformed group of entirely blue mages. The instances can hold hundreds of players, so more than you'd be able to make in a PF situation and queue in. And it's likely that similar to PvP, you'll be locked out of changing jobs to blue mage one in Eureka.

So, IF they let BLU queue through the raid finder, which I find unlikely, then the only Ultimate it would feasibly be able to beat would be UCOB. UWU requires the use of Limit Breaks, which BLU does not have access to. Not only the Caster LB3, but tank, healer and melee as well. So unless they grant BLU access to those via aetherial mimicry or something, UWU will be impossible regardless of how well they do the fight before the LB section.

56 Blue Mages doing Baldesion Arsenal sounds wild.

given that they didn't let BLU do squadrons and potd because they thought it might trivialise achievements/ completetion, I very much doubt they'd allow ultimates under the same reasoning, not to mention the fact that UwU would be impossible without limit breaks.

new abilities coming as well

I'd love to be able to take BLU into Eureka. Joined together with Red and create a Eurekean Purple Mage duo? Then we'll possibly need to update those ancient murals and their depictions of PLD, WHM, and a legion of RDMs.

While the not so secret dark child like salt mine side of myself hopes blue mage burns until it's reborn (or at least secretly pray that they're going to make it limited and normal, then I'd be sure to like one side of it even if I have an incredibly hard time finding value in their PF-exclusive vision of the limited content), I have to imagine simply allowing blue into Eureka would add substantial life to the job (and add a lot of potential reasons for the elemental wheel that they only partially use).
