Please make Blue Mage a normal job

[Deceptus]

I'm just hoping for actual stats on their MH weapon, you know that Int / Vitality they're missing. . .

[Razard]

You are more pessimistic much less than realistic XD

Snip

Well I hope you two love disappointment.

[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.

Please come to my drinking party! :P

I tend to hold out for the long haul / low chance being possible (like Ronso race), but indeed the small % stuff means you should make friends with tears in a cup lol.

Either way bottoms up lol~

I’m calling it now. I don’t care if I’m wrong later. They pushing BLU to 70 now. Next expansion the new jobs will start at 70 including the BLU job which will be a normal job. I’m calling it.

i hope so! i won't get my hopes up my a man can dream.

They should absolutely do it, but the problem is then effort. The reason why BLU gets maim and mend V is BECAUSE they don't have mainstat on their weapon, suddenly giving them stats later would mean the kit would need retooling at higher levels. Now if they became a normal job from 70 onwards this wouldnt be an issue, but whilst it remains a limited job with limited weapons it can equip, it cant have any int on a weapon unless they truly want to pad its dps.

Edit: a potential solution for this is retooling every weapon to have aetheryte earring esq stat scaling including weapon damage

At some point they have to give it unique Job Abilities (Not Blue Magic Spell abilities) and some unique traits to make it into a normal job (Especially when the Job Gauges are also a trait). Retooling every weapon to be like the Aetheryte earring is a good idea as well for the Main Hand Weapon but then what about raid weapons? If we apply it to the weapon then is there a point in end game raiding? I mean if there is a limit and it doesn't hit the Current tier end game item level and its stats then I should be fine.

I just want to do Palace of the Dead, Eureka, and Heaven on High with Blue Mage.

Well. All other classes mechanics keep evolving from ARR. They keep adding stuffs and complexity. It might happens to BLU too. We will see what the level 70 BLU can do

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.
