    So, the big BLU update has been around for a while. Thoughs.
    I am enjoying StormBLUd a lot.
    DPS BLU is probably my favorite DPS class in the game. Instead of traditional FFXIV rotations, we have a lot of different abilities with separate cooldowns. The new MF opener is really satisfying to pull off, Nightbloom, Matra Magic and Phantom Flurry actually feel like capstone skills. Cold Fog is great, it's like Riddle of Earth and Requiescat loved each other very much and decided to have a child. TWTT is a 3 GCD combo that feels satisfying to use. It's the most fun i have had playing a DPS job in FFXIV.
    Heal BLU. You know what, it's actually the most fun i have had healing in FF XIV as well. Angel Snack is a great addition to the kit. White Wind snapshots is amazing when you do it consistently and hilarious at the same time, when it misses on person and you try to panic heal them as well. Considering, how predictable incoming damage is and how powerful White Wind and Snacc are i do not even miss OGCDs much, but 1 or 2 would be a welcome addition. When you're not healing, you have a lot of stuff to do and it feels good since you have most of your dps kit. Gobskin and Stotram is also good for less spicy incoming aoes.
    Tanking was also made a lot more enjoyable. Dragon Force is literally what we have been asking for and finally got it. Chelonian Gate is like a bastard child of Rampart and TBN, but it's decent. Devour being upkeep buff, is worse, than it just being a passive aspect of tank mimic, but it gets the job of "not being as squishy" done.
    Overall, BLU 70 finally feels like an OP class we were promised at the start but got the beta version of it at the beginning instead.
