My Idea For Fixing Blue Mage

[Lambdafish]

BLU is meant to be overpowered since that was never a core feature in any game they were present in

I think people are misunderstanding the difference between unbalanced and overpowered. In all single player games, BLU is presented in a way that would never work in an MMO, with its identity being around gimmicky enemy skills (Lvl X skills, RNG skills, elemental affinity skills, debuff skills etc.). In short, BLU isn't overpowered, it's not suited, and that's before you even take into account skill acquisition.

The current implementation of BLU allows the job to be developed in an environment where it is suited.



Edit: Before you bring up XI, its not a fair comparison because all jobs in XI are unbalanced.
