SUGGESTION: Turn Bluemage into a regular job - Limited Job>Advanced Job (An Approach)

[ADVSS]

First- nice job, I like having that big list next to each other with the purpose of the skill even.
Second- reading the list, it reads exactly like a job made for offensive support to me.. "just" like Summoner is (in games that don't have jobs, like FFVII or FFX, then read it as the menu sub command).

I could see Summoner become multi-role, especially if you wanted to give summoner a boat load of summons, but it feels absolutely fine under the mostly damage with some support section (and the effects that blue mage offers, many summons have done too, like KO, healing, raising, debuffs, etc).

This is actually funny because pre ShB/SB Summoner had a somewhat workable tank pet, and then 2 dps pets(still does, but i had seen some clever SMN use titan egi as our tank on bosses if tanks died or whatnot, moreso in Deep Dungeon runs, but i wont count those)

I was thinking the same thing looking over the lists. XI just magnified the amount of spells BLU traditionally had by a long margin, but most seem to say "an attack that does this also" mainly looks like, most a damage/debuffer which i mean.. it seems to fit. I never really considered older BLU a healer, or a tank either to be honest. though i guess the original conception of it, in V did equip swords and wear medium heavy armor. I am still confused about this all 3 roles in one thing. XI BLU's werent even pure i bet. I bet they had /WHM and now they are good tank/healers, as was explained to me about the subjob system

I could be wrong though, naybe BLU was an exclusive job in XI which you had to be pure with no subjob, so they slammed in those non traditional refresh and healing spells to make it semi comparable to the other jobs with actual subjobs.
