Deep dungeon for BLU only

[Midareyukki]

It's meant as side content to have fun messing around with something that's otherwise ridiculously OP. If they were to make BLU into a "normal" job, they'd need to nerf it so hard it would lose everything that makes it fun for the people who enjoy it.

that's assuming Aveyond-Dreams cares about other people liking content he dislikes

Here's my thing with BLU:

Against normal enemies it's pretty overpowered. But against bosses that are immune to the vast majority of status effects and one hit deaths? They're just a slightly stronger version of SMN that has mana issues. Because their "ability" actions require MP, which no other caster job in the game has to deal with, and they have a LOT of abilities they use.

And most of those abilities are niche and situational at best. I know "Limited" means they don't need to balance it or tweak it, but they could at least bother to make it useable in the little content it's going to be used in. Instead it seems like it's just there for posing and Carnivale. You take it through a boss fight, you'll just struggle. Idk if it's by design or not, but if not, then they need to figure out what a Limited Job really is meant to be.

It is by design. BLU is a glass cannon and is meant to offer a challenge on bosses. That is how it started in Carnivale and it extended all the way into the extreme / savage content. There is still a level of cheese going on, but everybody has to be at their best to get through the fight. Where your standard fights have some room for error, there is very little in BLU. There's no waiting for the ilvl to improve and make the fight easier. Getting gud is the only option.
