Blue Mage damage

[Phoenicia]

snip.

Depends on how you look at it.

The case here is, you have low potency spells in general and lack of weapon dage stat that is being off-set one way or another. This gives us three scenarios(ignoring gimmicky spells for obvious reasons)

1- you have all your spells to choose from.

In this case you have a burst that increases your average DPS to slightly below average at leel 50. You parse something between 400 and 500. Which is more on the low side (tanks at 50 can do 300~400 if want a ballpark).

2- You don't have all your spells and you try to make do (i.e. no primal spells because f*** that grind, right?)

You lose your actual burst and the biggest thing will a bristled moonflute inside peculiar light. You won't reach 300 DPS. You'll peak at 297 or something as a matter of fact.

3- This is the hypothetical case if the job loses the "limited" part and becomes an actual job of which BLU will go through significant changes that aren't necessarily a rework. Take WAR changes in 4.2 with IR beoming a 90s CD, replacing Berserk and changing wat it does. Completely changed the rotation but the class is still about fell cleaves and very short defensive cooldowns.

Weapon damage needs o be added back and the scaling "fixed". Peculiar light will probably drop to 5% because it is AoE. 10% if SE wants to stretch it to remain relevant on bosses. Off-guard might stay as is and blu's average potency remains the same, or lowered to 10-20% and make it a buff you keep akin to Dragon Kick or something. A general rotation should be figured out with some spells of choice (added flavour, not damage) and others repurposed into situational or Carnival exclusive.

Before anyone asks, don't use parses! (Don't ban me Yoshi-P, ok? We love you!)
