This would only be a problem if BLUs were actually in competition of any kind with other jobs. They aren't. The sky's the limit with what ridiculous things BLU could accomplish - and it was implied that very fact was why the job was made "limited" in the first place, so that they'd be free of such restrictions.

So, yeah, 70% mitigation with no downside. Sure, why not? Even with that, folks aren't likely going to turn to BLUs to cheese content, when they can just unsync and become way more OP than a BLU, for anything a BLU would be useful in anyway...

Pretty much only the Masked Carnivale would be affected by this, and since that caters solely to BLUs they can just balance the Carnivale against it.
