There are likely some errors in here (I think thousand needles could be a GCD later in the opener, but I CBA to check), also could change based on mana costs when they come out, but the general structure is there

Edit: I can't count, there are 24 skills on here where i say theres 23 at the bottom
Indeed there are some errors, but yes, your point still stands.

Blue Mage is a lot like Bard.
  • Blue Mage has to manage Off-guard and Song of Torment similar to the way a Bard manages Straight Shot and Iron Jaws.
  • Blue Mage has three Primal actions that will be used at set intervals similar to a Bard managing their three songs.
  • Blue Mage will spend much of their time using a single action as their filler spell similar to a Bard using Heavy Shot as filler.

Clearly, both Blue Mage and Bard have no place within the current paradigm. /s
