Please make Blue Mage a normal job

[Physic]

Except..it's not broken it doesn't even feel fun to play at max level, the fun was leveling and getting spells till you got 1000 needles and then /doze for the rest of the levels and what high end content are you talking about? EX primals? Why slog through the grind when you can get 2 lvl 70s to carry you and 6 other BLUs through EX primals that you can't even do? You can only do weird things like blow up in major cities for some comic relief I'd much prefer an actual class than having something that is segregated from everything else.

i already agree it needs more reason to actually play the job. I am only usually entertained on blue mage these days when me and a friend or 2 go through some content to hunt some missing spell without a carry. Unfortunately, as you say, its pretty ineffecient to do it that way.


they basically need to give blue mages a reason not to be carried.
more places to use blue mages
and some form of longer term content where you can go have fun using blue mage and gain some sort of benefit.


specifically though, i was saying they want to seperate it from normal play, because it can do broken things.

End game, you're describing endgame, which BLU needs to be part of.

Also the only "Broken" thing you've come up with is using a literal exploit to self destruct for a DPS gain and kill trash slightly better than other classes. Until it can actually do something broken or worth being a limited job, I'm just going to assume you vastly misunderstand how combat works in this game leading you to misguidedly think things are broken when they are not.

youy have no idea how end game or combat works . You are basically saying since i cant play blu mage the way i want it is useless as end game...even though blu has its OWN endgame...the nerve

I've cleared Alphascape so I'm gonna go ahead and say I have a pretty decent idea as to how combat and endgame works. Also I'm not denying that BLU has an endgame, its just a particularly aweful one, so it would be better being in the regular endgame, which is what physic was describing in their post, as "more places to use blue mages" and "and some form of longer term content where you can go have fun using blue mage and gain some sort of benefit."

Except it doesn't, even crafters have an actual feasible end game. Blue mage is simply "Get all spells, Get to 50, Finish carnival" there's no actual work towards improving your BLU like there is through improving gear or rotations with other jobs.

Talking about end game.

Crafters also indirectly contribute to regular end-game, through food, potions and gear.

If BLU could bottle up learned skills or something for use by other jobs that would at least be something useful. Even with a stupid long cooldown, being able to bust out a bad breath at an opportune moment on a new fight could be handy.

So basically, Blue Mage can be summed up in one pic?

BLU wear blue hats only

That has always been a major part of blue magic. If collecting spells doesn't appeal to you, you would never have any interest in a real blue mage.

I wasn't speaking negatively of it, rather I tend to see the lighter side of things. I have a blue mage, but I'm limited in what I can do in game due to lack of a regular group to play with, so I'm sure there are a lot of things I'm also missing out on including how and where to find the spells.
