Did the devs lie to us? Either actually make BLU OP, or unlock it

To be fair, the kind of OP Yoshi-P was talking about is more the "I can immediately kill the boss with this single skill" aspect, not necessarily that BLU is the king of parsers.
But that fell flat the second they did what we all knew they'd do and put invuls to those effects on any enemy worth anything, including things as flimsy as overworld B ranks

Indeed. I imagine that this wouldn't even be as much of a problem as it is now if you could feasibly fight solo with properly adjusted potencies. 100-130 is just far too low - even in the Masked Carnivale. They dropped the ball hard on this one, and the sad is that BLU itself is an interesting job. But the way that it's implemented is just underwhelming in almost every aspect, even as it's limited self.

The problem isn't just the damage potencies - BLU's survivability isn't up to par with what it should be, either. Sure, it has a lot of niche skills most other dps don't have and White Wind can top it off easily, but it needs to survive a hit in order to use it. Mighty Guard really ups BLU's defense but you're still working with a caster's health pool. And that's besides Mighty Guard mutilating your damage if you use it, part of why 1000 was as good as it was for so long - it's flat damage, not potency based, Mighty Guard doesn't tickle it.
But good luck getting Shiva's skill solo when you're absolutely not going to survive her shared damage sword buster.

Mighty Guard needs it's numbers switched. 40% damage outgoing damage reduced and 70% damage reduction. Instead of the 70/40 ratio they are running.

If they really are all for making BLU a Solo job.

I think that would be too OP, you'd never need to drop it.
I'd rather 50/50 to be honest.
