Blue Mage: Are you kidding me!?

[Skos]

I don't get it. Like, I really don't get why this is so hard to understand.
Nobody's angry about Blue Mage being added to the game. Nobody's being angry about Blue Mage actually having to learn skills from enemies. Nobody's angry about the Blue Carnival being added to the game.

We're angry about Limited Jobs. They shouldn't exist. Why can't we have both a fully functional job AND the BLU learning experience/Blue Carnival? Why does it have to be one way or the other?

Because you could wind up skewing the raid tier. Sure, the tier may be done with, but it’s still there. You can’t just insert new job X without considering how it’ll effect the rest of its counterparts. If the job becomes too strong, we’ll be seeing BLU instead of SMN, and Casters have it hard as is with SMN doing decent damage and being mobile.

simply balance.

By this logic we shouldn't have any jobs, because all of them can be forking broken in a single player game.

I don't think the problem that SE is having with Blue Mage is so much about the skills being OP (some could be OP even for solo), as much as it is about having the collectability aspect in Blue Mage's skills (and the fact that some Blue Mages could be kicked from duty if they didn't have certain skills). Not saying the skills being OP couldn't be an issue, but that's something that is way easier to fix and adjust, in my opinion.

while i think having a beta test period to make sure none of the abilities break the game when you hand them to random players doing things randomly is a great idea (and thank you devs if thats the case), if i truly wanted to i could take a full job from 1 to 70 and never do any of the class quests. does this mean that all base classes should be barred from all group content (even stasha) until they have their job stone equipped and all job quests done? no, ive seen a puggalist in dun before and they did mechanics flawlessly and didnt die, and nobody tried to kick them because they werent monk (it was actually kind of hilarious to most of us)

the point is blue can totally be balanced for df, and worrying about "THE META!!!" group or that asshole tank who will dc because the bard has too much tp left after the first pull in mocihm (yes this actually happened) are not the kind of players you want to elevate to half the reason blue mage shouldnt be allowed to use df

Wrong there looking at ppl tht will not farm spells thy will join content with 5 spells and there lvl 50 but whn u look at tht its still stupid to say tht whn u can have a block to content like have a limit to how many spells you need to join tht mission also there looking at blue mage will not be using tht stupid rotation combo system thy have in game

i'd love if BLU could fill any of the 3 roles depending on which set of spells they equipped. The game could really make having certain spells prerequisites for queueing. Also, for sure there would be more than enough slots to fill every blue magic available out there.
