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

Blue is broken.

I was just stating I had fun on blue, and pointing out the fact that we ran through that 24 man dungeon like diarrhea in an old folks home. People have soloed coil. So I'm just saying.... couldn't solo coil on no dragoon... meaning blue is good if used right is all I'm saying.

Nice to hear about this from someone who actually played Blue at a higher level than most.

The only solo video I'm seeing is from T2.

And even then it was enrage strat, spamming white wind and Blood Drain.

Exciting.

Using niche abilities to cheese mechanics to solo a fight is the fun in it. Even if the process might sound unexciting. Soloing T13 as a level 70 DRK early in Stormblood involved sitting in Grit and spamming Souleater combo to self-heal all day. Isn't exciting when you just hear about it, but it "is" exciting when you're doing it yourself with all the other nuances the fight involved.

The problem with BLU though is for it to solo anything you take 400 years. Enrages and instance time-outs are more of a concern than the mechanics.

The spells as they are currently don't work together fluidly (they do work nicely though). Off GCDs that have casts are too awkward. I could go all day to be honest and disect the spells one by one, but I digress.

I'm just saying that 'It is soloing coil' is misleading, because I'm fairly certain in any other Coil fight other than T2, potentially T4, and T3, the Blue Mage is gonna die no matter what you do.
