Blue mage is a waste of potential, change my mind.

Then the problem is SE locked BLU skills behind those non-soloable dungeons.

Yes, that's a bad design, because people are just rushing them with a lv70 (like I did). I could do it with a full party of BLU, but still it would take too much effort.

SE also didn't state that BLU was meant to party up. But what they DID state was that, as you can clearly see in the above screenshot, that it was meant for solo play and wasn't designed for parties. They also stated that it was SO OVERPOWERED that it would break current content. Both of these things imply it is capable of soloing most or all content.

There's nothing to prove wrong. Everyone knows they didn't state explicitly that, but they certainly implied it, intentionally or no.

Solo play = Carnival. All we can "solo" right now is anything from the lv50 overworld and Carnival.

And yes, if BLU was lv70 it would break the content, like spamming Doom to a lv70 FATE or using Missile/Doom to clear super fast a dungeon. Not to mention that he will have Level5 Death at lv60. And no, they didn't imply you could solo an entire dungeon or a Primal EX, not at least at it's current state.

BLU is a long-term job and it's not fully "unlocked", because he's capped at lv50.
There's lot of room for improvement yet, but I like the idea and I hope some day it will catch up the res ob job's level.

This can be easily fixed by making bosses immune to doom/missile, and Dev already did that. Doom and missile do not work on most of the bosses. This is just some convenient excuses for the lazy work, and it already does not stand with itself.

Honestly, that’s a huge problem. I have no problem partying up with other BLUs, but BLU has poor maintenance/sustain that it just doesn’t make it feasible. Especially not in Extreme primals. And with no Raise, if one BLU dies and the skill just happens to drop for the party, well, sucks for that guy basically. I would have still preferred a version where BLUs could easily solo things like the dungeons, and only have to group up for the “harder stuff”, like Extremes—and, again, make all BLUs feasible; not 1 70, 1~7 BLUs.
Though a broken BLU would have been amazing. And no, I don’t mean “Just Doom the boss XD” broken BLU—just one that actually had some pretty high single-target damage.

This seems pretty sad to me. It’s basically the same as other jobs: other level 70 jobs can solo level 70 overworld and Heaven on High. Nothing really different except for some of the Masked Carnivale floors have a sort of puzzle to them (like the floor with the two towers and the slimes).

To be fair, they’d probably make EX bosses immune to Death. Most bosses should be, in my opinion.
