A question for the BLU peeps

[AxlStream]

I don't get people that want BLU to raid so hard. You know how it would end up.

A) Pigeon holed somewhere to fit composition, giving up the point of customization and flexibility BLU is known for.

B) Cookie cutter ability setup and BiS lists lime every other job, defeating the ideals of BLU entirely (even though it'll share gears with casters right now as I understand??

C) Unwanted in PFs as it'll be a job too reliant on the player being competent just like BLM and SAM.

Also if we didn't get this version of BLU, we would of gotten another version where just as much if not more people would be upset about. Atleast this one gives us something specific to work on whenever we can't handle the dumpster of PF anymore.

Er, because raids are fun?

I've been over this enough I think.

It shares gear with casters, so it will have a BiS list. At lvl 50 I imagine it'd be some form of mix between Dreadwyrm and Augmented Ironworks. Substats at 50 are so pathetic though, so I imagine it won't matter as long as you're i130.

As for the cookie cutter part, Idk. I reckon they'll be a spreadsheet within a week of its release that'll have all spell locations and a tier list of them. I fully expect an illusion of choice here. SE are welcome to prove me wrong.

C) Unwanted in PFs as it'll be a job too reliant on the player being competent just like BLM and SAM.

Just because you've had bad experiences in PF, it doesn't mean everyone has. Personally I've never had a problem with playing BLM or SAM in any PFs. Especially this late in the tier.

The whole idea that BLM and SAM is unwanted is literally only true in 95% of world prog groups and hc raiders, because they're gonna want the highest chance of success.

Also if we didn't get this version of BLU, we would of gotten another version where just as much if not more people would be upset about. Atleast this one gives us something specific to work on whenever we can't handle the dumpster of PF anymore.

I doubt the initial negative reaction would have been as great as it was if that was the case.

The existing 3 casters are "pigeon holed" or "dumbed down" or "not true to their classic counterparts" and people are mostly accepting of those jobs.

Would it really be a huge problem with BLU?
