A question for the BLU peeps

[Reinha]

BLU add more opportunities for drama.

Every job and game play option adds opportunities for drama, but not having them risks boredom.

Problem is that, for now, nothing points out to skills having a required level to use. So, basically, a synced lvl 40 BLU could use a skill that required lvl50 to learn. So, there could be a huge difference between two BLU of the same synced lvl depending on their real level.

Your solution doesn't solve a lot of issues regarding matchmaking with Blue Mages (skill balance, absence of a rotation, BLU not using the "optimal" skills, number of skills depending on the level sync, etc.).

Those balance problems are a result of the assumption that BLU would take their outdoor skill set in party content. That assumption was not made by me, so I'm not going to put in the effort to solve the balance issues. I suggested earlier in the thread that BLU would not use their outdoor skill set in party content, but would instead have a job gauge and a rotation. Below is the context of my latest responses. I merely pointed out that, if it's not about balance but missing skills, requirements to enter an instance a thing.

I think everyone is missing the main point. Its not about balance. Its about the fact you can't guarantee a BLU will have the skills they need to do content in this holy trinity system. So the BLU could gimp groups.

How will you guarantee that I have exactly the 24 skills that the rest of the party want between the 49 I'm free to choose from ?

All of that development time and resources invested into "making it work" for what purpose in the end? Being able to do your roulettes to farm Poetics, or do Sastasha with randoms "for fun".
Great.

Well, you're not wrong. IMO bringing BLU to DF would be a waste if it stayed level 50 so raising the level cap should definitely be the first priority.
