4.5 Patch notes are live

Nah, cause a BLU can be in an HW, SB, and even ShadowBirngers zone (once its out) at level 1, another job just needs to get their first.

I was going to point out that by then you had already ran those quests on that other job, but then I remembered we're supposed to get New Game+. So it should, in theory, be possible for someone to replay the game on BLU if they so chose - assuming BLU's MSQ restriction is removed by the time NG+ is introduced.
Because if it's not, and NG+ hits, that's more solo content BLU is locked out of.

It's a trend I expect and it's a real shame too.

Not that I didn't know it before, but BLU continues to be a "job" in name alone and not in essence. Right now the skill learning process is padding to the Masked Carnival, sort of like leveling in Eureka.

[CaptainLagbeard]

The way I see it, the Blue Mage as currently planned is more of a minigame than an actual class.

And the reward based on screenshots is Allied Seals through the Masked Carnival. Maybe Centurio Seals in the future when they implement HW stuff for it...

tbf i am trying to make sense of why lock blu outta PotD, Squadrons, Msq etc for PotD the only thing is that blu can't go to lv60, squadrons because they have HW dungeons Msq because HW has lv 50 quests and they don't want you there yet.

All in all weak reasonings all around you made more than 120 abilities already so why not lv60 cap? to not overwhelm us? because of no masked carnivale for that lv yet?

[BillyKaplan]

PotD

If BLU is supposed to really be that OP solo, there's also the matter of cheesing the solo achievements. So that one I can sort of see why they did it?

squadrons because they have HW dungeons

But I don't think you can queue for such a dungeon if you yourself don't abide by its requirements, and as BLU is capped at 50, it should've been a non-issue.

All in all weak reasonings all around

Basically

So blue will be a flop from what i see.
As of now you get nothing at all from lvling it.
You cant take it no where,why will you play it?
It be somthing may be 1% will play when there nothing mote to do, after they did all of the trials and raids. The only way to lvl it looks to be solo mobs / fates. So one more time SE push fates to players faces.
We as players need to not play blue so it fail and s
Se dont do the next LJ.

"Blue mages gain greater experience from battling enemies in the open world than other jobs do.
* No bonuses are granted to experience gained from FATE or guildleve enemies."

Yes but fates will give more exp over all.not likely that mobs exp be 100times more. Mobs may give 3xtra 5% if SE be nice.

[KageTokage]

I'm really curious as to why FSH didn't get a new "I Found That" achievement when it of all the DoL classes deserves more rewards for how sadistically difficult catching all of the big fish is.

Also, RIP Cavalry Elbst. It's now the only ARR beast tribe mount that can't fly because they conveniently forgot about it after giving the Direwolf flight.
