One option you could have is for BLU damage to only be tied to their level and not their stat. So,they'd have more work to do to earn their spells, but less work to do to gear themselves. Or, like FFXI, that equipping the spells would actually give you bonus stats.
Yes but at least DRK can play its role and is unrestricted and not gated behind RNG for its spells, yes it's clunky to play with the DA spam but it can in fact tank and do its job BLU cannot even if it works as hard it'll never be a good tank, it'll never be a good healer, and it'll always be a sub par DPS. Also at least DRK can use LB where it matters BLU can't even do that hindering it even more, people talk more about what DRK lost this xpac and how it plays more than its DPS because it feels really bad compared to HW it can easily take part in any kind of content it's only in raiding where you see DRK falling behind when PLD and WAR is superior.
