I'd be fine if they came out and said they have seen the backlash and will be taking the time to make a full version of blu. I don't even care if there is no estimated patch given for when it would be done by. Just knowing that they are working on it is fine even if it takes more than a year.

I wouldn't say they have gone above and beyond. Why would blu have to be another caster? I would have preferred a tank but melee support would be cool as well. Yeah it's a new system that I think for the most part is fine besides the limited aspect.

I meant that if we give them a pass here on something they claim is "too hard" that then they might also use it again on things like level sync and other requests that have already been made and future ones.
Because it was announced as a ranged dps we can safely speculate that it was always intended as a ranged dps. What do all casters do? Work to fill a job specific resource: polyglot for black mage, balance gauge for red mage, dreadwyrm aether for summoner, to release a single massive damage skill.. which is a frequent idea for blue mage.. "Give it a standard dps rotation and have it end with like a powerful blue magic."... do we really need another caster following the same exact basic formula as every other mage in this game? really?
