The point I'm getting at is your blatant hypocrisy by saying X or Y can't work because of Z reason, when we have a multitude of examples on how SE made it work for other jobs without completely ruining the job. Every excuse I've seen for why BLU can't work has been incredibly weak and easily shown to be not true.
Pets do not have a plethora of unique damage calculations. You're asking SE to go through the game and give every single monster an elemental classifications for one class and only one class. It's not about making a few flags. It's about creating a new system and then applying it to every single mob, every single boss, and anything else since the game came out. Pets don't require you to change the entire battle system. They don't require brand new and unique damage calculations. They didn't require a special form of AI, just any old AI that was already used for NPCs. Pets are nothing like what you're asking. You're asking for them to bring back a 1.0 system that have basically spent the last 5 years writing out of the game for a single class.
