Well, if you compare it to the current combo that people actually use which is Ram's Voice > Dragon's Voice. That's not particularly hard to pull off especially given the complete lack of CD's on any BLU skills. If anything my suggestions makes combo's rarer (Because CD's) but usable on bosses.

Not to mention, you can still have crazy combos. For example, if you got some really strong skills with long CD's that need multiple elements on a target to get their combo effect. Or you can have some unique elemental debuffs that only have a chance to be applied when you use certain skills.

An example would be if BLU could access skills such as Void Fire, Void Lightning and other Voidsent skills and each of them only had a chance to apply the "Void" element which would be used for some powerful combo effects.

This isn't to mention other combos that could be created for non-direct damage spells. For example, what if there was a buff you had that could be consumed to empower Bristle? What if there was a combo you could do that would consume Moon Flute and bypass its Waning Nocturne debuff (Perhaps giving a damage buff to allies in the process, so that it resembles actual Moon Flute in previous games that would cast Berserk on an ally)?

you cant make that shit up

Like, you say that as a proper job BLU would be a turret like Black. But already many BLU skills are Cone/PBAoE's that means BLU would have to get up close with the mDPS in order to use them. They also have different radii on their skills, meaning they have to move around (Especially with Dragon's Voice which has a deadzone up close)

Right now they're a turret job because they lack any sort of mechanics or sense of direction (Also, any additional DPS skills are tied behind RNG Dungeon/Trials), so the best play is to spam one of the highest potency skills you have 24/7, to which Glower has the best range to do so.

If you actually have all of the skills on BLU, your rotation is more complex. Bristle > Off-Guard > Song of Torment as an opener as well as what you want to refresh every 30s. Then you have your Ram's Voice > Dragon's Voice for trash. With also Eruption, Static Strike and Glass Dance oGCD skills to weave in.

But just because not only are these skills not readily available to everyone and also because the content they can access doesn't demand them, BLU ends up being mostly Glower spam after leveling up with 1000 Needles spam.

Thus actually becoming a "Proper Job" would make them more interesting to play because as a "Proper Job" it would necessitate these skills becoming more accessible and thus more people would then have access to BLU's full rotation as well as content that demands it.
