Blu Healer

[Raikai]

Both heals and tank roles for Blue Mages are in a bad place...

Healer because it’s way too boring! you do nothing but spam pom cure or white wind. It needs more spells to interact with defensive, and also some healing ogcd spells.

Tanks however just need to be less squishy. Their health spike so much that it’s impossible as a healer to not be casting pom cure all times because the loss of a gcd might mean a tank down depending on the moment.

Collect more spells. Gobskin is an AoE shield. Strotam is an AoE medica with no cooldown. Angel's Snack is a 2 minute cooldown 400 potency Medica II that anybody can use (but only healers get the Regen out of).

You would still be spamming Pom Cure. Gobskin is way too weak to be worth. Strotam basically fills the same usage niche of white wind.

Again, blue mage healers need actual ogcd healing and spells that interact with each other. Or at least more durable tanks so you won’t have to spend every single gcd on pom cures.

Not really. White Wind is not meant to be cast regularly. It functions better as a tank/dps self-heal used only on occasion when near 50% hp. Strotam works much better as a regularly cast AoE heal.

I'd argue the reverse. Blue Mage demonstrates that the problem with the healers is actually having to many ogcds.

While too many oGCDs would be awful, BLU deserves at least one. I wonder what would be to ramifications of Angel Snack (and by extension, Dragon Force and Matra Magic) being oGCDs
