Either BLU is broken and 1-2 of the other casters complain about being irrelevant, or it's weak and is met with "BLU DOA lol".

This entire complaint is not unique to Blue Mage, Gunbreaker and any other job releasing in Shadowbringers is subject to this exact balance conundrum. Arguably, another caster would actually be less difficult to balance than another tank and healer.

So in that case no new tanks + healers? I mean, we'll have 4 tanks come ShB, do we really need that according to you?

1. Resources have already been allocated for those jobs. You're asking to take away from other aspects (unless you're asking for a full-job BLU in 6.0) just to be put into the position of having four casters
2. Parties have to take two tanks and two healers. You don't have to take any casters
3. Fewer players roll as tank or healer. If the new tank is the weakest of the four, it's not like they'll be prevented from joining groups. Even after potency changes you still have parties excluding SAM/BLM. They're able to do that because of how many DPS players there are.
