If Blue Mage Became A Full Caster DPS Job (Unlikely), Which Spells?

[Seraphor]

A ranged tank would never be allowed in a game like this. This is a game that *rigidly* adheres to the holy trinity in raids.

I mean, BLU has many melee ranged spells, such as Ravana's and Suzaku's. Wouldn't be a leap to make single target melee ranged spells.

Although I'd prefer a hybrid of physical and magical attacks personally.
Before we got BLU or GNB, I envisioned a Blue Magic Gunblade tank class. It would 'Draw' spells from enemies in job quests to learn them, and then Draw job gauge in battle to power those Blue Magic spells, as well as having 'Magic Ammo' for combo finisher spells. Thought it was pretty neat tbh, and it would have fulfilled the 'Mystic Knight' fantasy as well as a sword wielding knight with elemental spells.

The tank role really is the most rounded role. It has damage dealing skills (obviously) plus mitigation, debuffing, healing, and utility. It would have suited the eclectic range of BLU spells perfectly.

All that said, I don't have a problem with limited BLU as it is. I do have a slight issue with the range of content it can get into, I would like it to gain access to Deep Dungeons, and potentially Eureka/Bozja, and gain it's own Limited Job Roulette. But apart from that, it's alright. If it gained access to that content, it would be 100% fine by my book.
