BLu has always been like this. It's literally a collection of funny, worthless, broken, and a bit of everything. It's also completely worthless until you aquire the more powerful abilities (some we don't have yet, and some negated by the design of FF14 to accommodate the lowest player skill levels). and it lacks the specializations needed to perform specialized roles properly. Instead it learns a select set of overpowered spells that transform the job into a literal one-man-army. And, every bit of that is a feature and not a bug.

The current implementation is sadly lacking the game-breaking part, so it just lacks the other half of its appeal. TLDR, if players cannot turn Gilgamesh into a frog during "a battle on the big bridge": its literally has only half of its appeal, and shows Yoshi-P's reluctance to make a job that completely ingores party structure and turn serious content into a Montey Python sketch.
