BLU DPS

[Seraphor]

I posted a Blue Mage DPS idea a long long time ago, back in ARR I think, essentially instead of learning from enemies it learned from allies instead. I don't think it was a very popular idea.

It had abilities along the theme seen below:
Learn: placed on a party member, tracks abilities used for the next 8s and stores the most potent one for use later.
Copy: placed on an ally, an aetherial version of your character appears next to the target and copies their attacks.
Learn II: used after copy, stores the aetherial version of your character from Copy for later use.
Assimilate: copies buffs from the targeted player onto yourself at half strength.
Diffusion: spreads buffs on yourself to other nearby party members.

Wouldn't that make it a mime?

Wouldn't that make it a mime?

It would, I also pictured it having a special monster action tab to draw skills from instead of the cross-class skills though.
I suppose it would be a mix of both jobs.

Honestly, what I remember of the original idea wouldn't really work in current FFXIV.

I wanted it to branch from a hypothetical musketeer class for one.
