Thank you SE for...

[Fyce]

You are the only one bringing that slide over and over when all this time i've been redirecting the argumentation to the class implementation.
I'd say you are the one losing it over the slide, that, or you are using the slide as a straw man.

I'll say it now, the slide is meaningless, move on to the job implementation.

I bring it on because people mention it all the time to somehow use it as a reason why would SE change the job. Did you not understand why the very first sentence of my initial post was "Gosh, this argument again..."?
And my whole point is, again for the bazillion time, no, SE will not change the job because a bunch of people misinterpreted a badly made powerpoint slide. So people should stop using that dumb argument. That's all I'm saying. Any other topic is irrelevant to what I say.

Can you tell me what part of its kit makes its balance way off, because to me it looks like a fairly balanced support dps, with low personal dps made up for by the high power buff of peculiar light, with the self destructing skills being probably the only point of contention, which really arn't worth it most of the time anyway. And before you argue white wind, even in its current state I personally don't see it as unbalanced, as its a dps loss to use and is only effective when you have health and you can't spam it lest you run out of mana.

It's funny how you have to dismiss exactly everything that makes BLU a problem in order to ask me that question. I hope you can forgive me because I'm going to ignore your argumentation method of trying to strip me from anything I could use before I even gave you my answer.

- You can kill yourself doing extremely high damage. Why do you automatically assume that it's not "worth it most of the time"? This would have been abused in any AoE situation and used all the time during long downtime periods when the BLU can recover from its weakness. It would be used to cheese any kind of DPS check and even bypass some phases all the time. FFXIV's battle content is definitly not made to support this kind of on-demand skills.
- You have a personal tank LB3 (even better than a tank LB3). Any kind of mechanic coming? Who cares! Just use one GDC! Problem solved! Tank tethers? Pffft, joke! Shared tank buster? Just let me join the fun! Not imbalanced at all.
- You can heal yourself and other people to full in a blink. I don't really care if you don't think that White Wind isn't an issue. A DPS job being able to bypass a raid damage mechanic with Diamondback and then heal everyone to full in one skill is broken. It is. It objectively is.
- You can insta-kill almost any trash mob and even some bosses. Yeah, sure, they could make everything immune, or drastically change the skills. But the point is: these skills are currently broken. If anyone argue that the skills have to be changed would just prove my point.
- You are able to withstand a lot of damage from any mechanic thanks to Mighty Guard. Similar to Diamondback, but with more flexibility at the cost of less protection. It still allows healers to shield the BLU in order for him to be able to easily White Wind the mechanic.
- You can give anyone in the group 100% HP and MP at the cost of some DPS. A healer died and is in need of MP? No problem! Better have a dead DPS than a healer. It's probably less broken than the rest, but having a single target full HP&MP is still not really something you see every day on a Caster DPS.
- You have extremely potent group buff. Yes, Peculiar Light is completly overpowered. AoE +30% magic damage for 10s on a 60s cooldown is ridiculously high for group DPS. And you seem to say that it's only to make up for BLU's low DPS? I think you don't really understand how much of a gain that is. You'd see BLM/SMN/RDM/BLU comp all day just because of that. Besides, BLU's DPS isn't as low as you seem to imply.
- You can have an on-demand -10% damage. Yeah, that's huge. Even if Bad Breath is a DPS loss because of its low damage DoT, it still does damage ontop of the damage reduction, so it's really worth it.
