Blue Mage: Are you kidding me!?

Sadly it's the truth that some would rather keep on fighting. For those that haven't gone through all the BLU threads, Darkpaw and myself were not getting along here on the forums at all a month ago. I'm glad that we are not letting what happened then prevent us from saying that it's better to work together. Dark has been mostly in the middle of this whole debate and I look forward to the threads they said will be put up eventually. I might have some points of my own and disagreements but I think the important thing is to realize that most of us want a similar end goal and the debate is really over how to get there. And yes I'm tired of having to repeat that it doesn't have to be a zero-sum game. I'd like to see most of us get something we can be excited about from BLU now or eventually one day.

On the multi-role stuff, I think having it be where hybrid set ups are possible would be a bad idea and a massive balancing challenge like you said. I would rather see stances or different job stones to have them be their own thing or a talent/spell selection system that takes a large commitment into one role before you can do some content. Then there be a significant cost to redo these choices such as using a reset item that costs a large amount of the uncapped tomes.
