    I think the job is pretty great. I've completed all there is to do with BLU, and got my Morbol mount. That said, a few adjustments that's be nice;

    1. A system that allows one to more easily find roles for mimicry. Popular option is by way of housing item of some nature.

    2. Tanks could use a oGCD defence so as to not have DB as their only option when tanking.

    3. A single target provoke would allow an easier method to tank swap.

    4. Healers could use a aoe heal that is weaker than ww, or have a regen of some description.

    That's the only bits that are glaringly obvious to me. Minor things for sure.

    I came back to the game a couple days ago, and it didnt take long to go from 50-60, and beat the 5 new blue carnival stages. Outside of doing the log for allied seals that I dont really need, Blue mage once again exists in this place where theres nothing you can do, which is disappointing, it's one of the most fun jobs to play.

    I did a couple undersized with one level 80 fc member after sitting in pf for a few hours trying to make a proper group without getting a single hit. Obviously it was lackluster.

    No one I've found, including myself if I'm being honest, really wants to do old content, for no real reward. It just feels redundant, as the job was built to be played solo, in the masked carnival, and to only release 5 stages that take such little effort to beat is a big bummer as were unlikely to get anymore end game content for blue mages for a long time.

    I don't know what your data center is like but here on Primal, BLU was extremely popular for a long time.

    The issue you have right now is your decided to do all this content 2 days before 5.2, when the game is at its biggest lull. Of course you won't get anywhere

    I imagine it was popular being new, but not even one patch later it's dead, and that's problematic to a job only getting content once a year.

    People are still running eden 1-4 savage and its older.

    Extremely popular is a bit of a stretch, the far right column is the number of people on each datacenter who have gotten the morbal mount, obviously this not counting people who are running other content but for perspective in the best cases BLU has had Half as many people clear it on some datacenters than have cleared ultimate or in some cases <1% of the active datacenter population.

    As someone on EU Light I see maybe 1 maybe 2 PFs fill a day for BLU content if youre lucky, and if you arn't queuing with the BLU discord at their time your pf basically wont fill for weekly target. Some of the active members there even estimated it takes 6+ hours for pfs to fill on average. It has been this way for over a month.

    I wasn't talking about the morbol amount, I was referring to how active BLU Mage content in general was in the PF. There were, and still are, parties for extreme primals, raids, dungeon runs for spells, and for BLU log completion. Instead of looking at the numbers for the morbol mount, try looking at the numbers for the cute justice minion or the lvl 60 weapon, and you will find that the amount of people farming allied seals from BLU is much higher (trust me, they aren't farming ARR hunts instead)

    Unfortunatly data doesn't exist to check those minions and such. I'll have to take your word for it as to how alive it is over there, but over here and on other datacenters its functionally dead in pf. I've also not known anyone in all my years who farms allied seals but im sure they exist

    Well yeah, right now it is dead, 2 days before a major patch. That's to be expected of any content. That's just the lull period that we endure at the end of every odd numbered patch.
