Please make Blue Mage a normal job

[SweetPete]

My thoughts exactly!

There are so many negative nancy’s saying they would announce it blah blah. No they wouldn’t. They didn’t announce new races before they added them. They didn’t announce ninja a year or 2 before they implemented it. People need to understand anything is possible. Who knows, there could be a developer slowly working on this and we don’t know about it. Originally they said they already had like 113 I think spells already figured out. We are at 80 spells now. So I’m guessing they will finish that up in 5.4 then hey maybe surprise us with blue becoming a regular job in 6.0 as an all rounder or something. So I wish people would stop being negative nancy’s. Yes I could be totally wrong but it doesn’t mean to have many people’s dreams crushed by the negativity. Just let us have this. Let us keep hope alive. Keep the negativity on the outside please. Anything is possible people. I truly believe square will pull a rabbit out the hat. They know how bad people want blue mage as a regular job. I believe they will make it happen for us.

You're completely wrong. They've announced every job in a fanfest since HW (so Ninja was the only exception, not the rule), and they've also announced (in fanfests) Au Ra, Hrothgar and Viera.

I wish people would stop with the stupid delusion of BLU becoming an all rounder. They'll never make a DPS that can steal a spot from the other roles.

So, can the positive daydreamers stop making up lies and falsehoods to justify their unsubstantiated wishful thinking, until they actually make an announcement? Thank you.

I assume you are being obtuse or just ignorant about blue mage and its spells when you say its a 'stupid delusion of it becoming an all rounder that can steal a spot from other roles'.

I assume you're being obtuse or ignorant about the fact it's only allowed to do so through PF and in outdated content. A BLU is only tanking or healing if the rest of the party is OK with it.

Good luck building a roulette system where you can get a insufficient tanking BLU replacing an actual tank. And no, they wouldn't make its tanking and healing skills be good enough to replace actual tanks and healers, if made a full job. That goes against the design of the battle system the game has since the start.

The only way it'd work is if you set restrictions within the DF system (considering there's a toggle that allows or prevents players from queueing for certain things, the tech is already there) or within BLU itself. I've toyed with the idea of skill sets or totems that a BLU could equip to push them towards a specific role, with the catch being that once inside a duty you can't remove the totem, and in order to queue for DF you need to have certain spells learned and set in your ability bar. This means that BLU would have to jump through more hoops than other jobs to queue for DF, but that's more SE's fault for implementing the job as they did.
