What is the reason we can not run Blue Mage with Squad again?

[Hasrat]

Because squad is built around the trinity, and BLU doesn't fit into a trinity role?

[Duskane]

well Blue mage is this Master-full solo job
it would basically be easy clears and leveling for your squad pre 50
like why its not allowed in Potd would trivialize the solo content side

if that was true it wouldn't be under the Magical DPS section

You mean, as opposed to now where even after the Engage spam exploit nerf your Squad just tears through every dungeon that isn't pretty much exactly The Wanderer's Palace (Hard) (Which for some reason their scaling seems to be much lower than dungeon both higher and lower level than it)

Even without the fact of Squads being overtuned (To compensate for AI that's... Lacking), BLU is only significantly stronger than average in specifically the 20-30 range when you first pick up 1000 Needles before scaling to where it stops being notably effective.

I don't think that farming Thousand Maws of Toto-Rak marginally faster (Because, it shouldn't take much longer than 1000 Needles 6 second cast time for a Squadron to do equal if not more damage) is necessarily reason to prevent BLU from using Squadrons.

Given that it's so limited in its use anyway as it doesn't include most of the dungeons that BLU needs for spells and its experience is laughable compared to what BLU gets from farming overworld...

well its not just 1000 needles
its that fact it can have 24 skills even in synced content

Yes the squadron are good but Squadron+Blues kit would trivialize it even more

[Kalise]

Which is irrelevant because the vast majority of their 49 possible skills are worthless.

There's like 6 skills a BLU actually cares about for doing something... At least 2 of those are "Make your damage not horrible compared to even Healers" debuffs...

by themselves some are somewhat useless
but the ones that combo with others can be pretty intense
bad breath
rams voice
missile obliterates first and second boss in the dungeon

mindlessly throwing out spells with Blue its obvious going to be weak but setting up with it correctly makes it a destructive force
