As an FFXI player, thank you for Limited Jobs and BLU SE

Blue is simply a Carnival class.

It has no practical application outside of the Carnival. It's designed so that you get carried through levelling, get carried through dungeons, get carried through EX primals and then you're done. There is no reason at all to form Blu groups for content when you get no extra rewards, can't rez, have inferior dps, inferior tanking ability and one healing ability. It's not designed for playing outside the carnival.

Being a Carnival class has gimped it because it has to be balanced around the carnival. That's why it has tons of the same 130 potency element aoes and gimmicky status abilities, why mighty guard wrecks your damage and Diamondback isn't an immunity. That's why BLU doesn't feel OP.

Fun is practical. Fun with friends is a reason to form Blu groups to run content again and again. It just doesn't meet your definition of fun I'm guessing. Hell, myself, my husband, and a few friends in the FC had fun the other week, all on alt characters that were Roegadyn, and we just spent hours spamming emotes, taking weird pictures, recreating memes in game and just laughing our asses off from all of it.

Fun is what you make of it, and if you don't make something out to be fun, then just don't play it. It's simple.
