So I do think that blue mage spell potencies might need a buff (though I'm still only at level 35, so I'm holding final judgment until I get higher level and fully geared out)

As far as dungeons, I do share the concern. Right now finding parties to go through them to learn spells isn't too bad since so many people are wanting to do the same, but imagine someone picking up the job as a new player in a year from now. If you can't use DF to try and learn all these abilities, you're going to have trouble trying to get the spells you need, especially when so many of them come from dungeons and trials.
i'm 46 and i feel the same, the damage of water cannon is ridicule.... 200 with off guard, if you use britle and peculiar light it can reach almost 400 damage.... on level 37 monster it take more of 10 cast for kill it....
