Alright, I Did It. [Blue mage Review]

[Lambdafish]

Spot on this. They would also just need to add some kind of "attunement" quest where the game checks if you have enough and the correct spells in order to participate in the Duty Finder. This should be trivial since the game already checks this for job quests and totems.

I will concede that matchmaking may be possible in the future, as the Devs just need to assign a pseudo level to each skill for level sync. That doesn't stop BLU being a limited job though, because it still can't and should never be able to do deep dungeon, raid, or PvP.

Raid would be impossible on BLU because the job is not balanced against other jobs. There is a level of homogenisation in other jobs that means that they can be directly compared, BLU doesn't fit into that meaning that it would either be useless or heavily exploitable. When it comes to deep dungeon and PvP, the systems are simply not designed to accommodate the concept of BLU skills.

I will follow up by saying that if this is what the community wants then they are asking in the wrong way, there is a lot of complaining and not a lot of constructive ideas. A lot of bedroom designers who don't understand why "just make it a proper job" doesn't work, and are completely ignorant as to why BLU was designed the way it was. We need to create a discussion that is more constructive, otherwise all the Devs will see is that people don't like BLU and it's not worth any more Dev time
