blue mage roulettes? your thoughts

[wereotter]

I like the idea of roulettes for blue mages... but I do think it would be tricky for them to actually implement. While it's fine to go in as multiple heals/tanks since you can mimicry onto other players in the instance, others want you to have a set healer or a set tank, and with no one to target inside the instance, then you could just end up screwed (imagine trying to do TG Cid with no one on a dedicated healer mimicry. You'd die to the doom) And since the current duty finder system doesn't seem to be able to check buffs, I don't see a way they could mandate you be on certain mimicries if you queue in, especially if you're trying to do content as part of the roulette that's below level 60.

They could fix this if athereal mimicry just cycled you through roles rather than requiring a target... but you'd also have to sit and wait while people reset their skills and hotbars. And let's be honest, no one will do that.

I'm not sure how possible it would be with the code but it would be nice to have "load outs" for spell sets so you can have one a the ready. Then change Athereal Mimicry to a cycle and then be able to change sets on the fly.

I'm down for more ways/excuses to play blue mage but I feel like duty roulette wouldn't have tank/healer/dps roles, it's gonna be 1st ultravibe/2nd ultravibe etc roles

I'd be interested in some kind of way for blue mages to like, self-limit so as to be able to queue for normal duties... like DBZ style weighted clothing or something, something to keep us from going super saiyan 3 so the normal jobs still feel like they're contributing.

Just make more rouletts, even if its just for glam or another khloe npc.... blue is so wasted until youre die hard into savage.

If they added a BLU roulette I would actually play it. As it stands now, being a 'limited' job, there's just no purpose for it. I can't use it in normal duties, there's no relics, etc. it's just if you really like the concept or running duties over and over for a spell to uh... go use in FATEs?

You say that like it's a bad thing. Having a blue mage with the good spells significantly sped up all of the multiple fate grinding steps for my relic weapons.

I enjoy blue mage regardless, though.

They're still good for relics. Syrcus with a group of blue mages is under 10 minutes, assuming enough have a decent set of skills unlocked plus moon flute and all that.

Though castrum has other incentives now so there's maybe slightly less people blue mage grinding.

And you say that like it's more than just a single thing you can do with it. If you're not grinding for relics, then what? My point was that I can do any duty with my other jobs but unless you have a full party of blue mages to do certain things, it's really only good for FATEs. My point still stands.

What do you mean "then what?" Blue mage can do any content that any class up to lv 70 can do, except for PoTD and Eureka. Just because you can't use duty finder, and have to interact with people to set things up and have fun with it doesn't mean it's "really only good for FATES."

Have some imagination, man. Boiling the argument all the way down to "I can run all old content as many times as I want in duty finder with any other class" is really boring.

Blue Mage can even solo a lot of things now.
