In addition to this the devs seem to not like how we use BLU. Like one of the biggest benefits of BLU is being able to farm older content easier or being able to farm tomes during tome events easier. Pretty sure there's a statement from Yoshi P out there where he stated that it was clearly not intended for people to use BLU to mass farm tome events. Don't remember much but it wasn't anything more than just disapproval.

Can't wait for that to get spread even thinner.
So about that... From what I can tell ShB and level 70 BLU mages got 1 carnivale stage and only 4 more spells(24 total). EW BLU got 1 stage as well, and 20 spells. There's obviously a decline, but I don't think it's as much of a drop off as people would like to imagine it as. I also think that BLU mage's design is a bit limiting and that they need to innovate some. We have 24 spell slots, it's really hard to add something that isn't just an improvement of an older ability, or add something that fulfils a new utility purpose compared to spells like loom, diamondback, flying s. and whatever.

I feel like they should give us a trait at level 80 or 90 for 6 more spells, maybe a trait for half the time on angel whisperer and generally be less afraid of adding in more overpowered abilities even if it's an upgrade from earlier, since BLU is supposed to be overpowered and fun.
