UCoB DPS checks are comically low nowadays because they didn't balance properly. While yes, tank Blue Mages typically deal pretty low DPS, it's mitigated by the fact healer Blue Mages are essentially DPS without the crit bonus. With potions, you could absolutely push Nael unless she's coded to "Holmgang" in like Brute Justice and Gavel.

Admittedly, I stand corrected in regards to Blackfire. I thought you could cancel out of Diamondback. That being said, it still utterly negates Quick March and also an easy cheese through Heavensfall if someone dies or messes up a tower. You can time it to negate Grand Octet too though people tend to tank LB3 that anywho. As for the downtime. Once again, it literally won't make a lick of difference. You could have the entire party die, raise everyone and still meet Bahmut's DPS check. Now obviously if you're collecting the damage down from Heavensfall cheesing and dying left and right, it'll eventually catch up to you. But Blue Mage has way more power than your standard DPS. Which bodes another problem. Blue Mage instantly becomes the better DPS choice than any current DPS. And it's arguably the better healer. So your standard comp just became significantly easier.



Considering they couldn't be bothered to make new Primal weapons for them. I doubt they would make Ultimate ones now.
Does twisters after quickmarch/grand octet get proc'd when you're diamondbacked?
