    Fixed that for you. You are referring to Reis.

    Again I saw that under the sun the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to the intelligent, nor favor to those with knowledge, but time and chance happen to them all.

    Blue mage could easily be done. Just pick a role (DD more than likely)
    and work it accordingly. It doesn't need to be everything like in XI.
    It could focus DD and have some support stuff (poor healing, debuffs).
    any heals or buffs added could easily be utilised by a healing job
    that splits in another direction.

    Probably have DD a bit higher than a bards while in song mode, and offer
    more utility, just different kinds.

    I wonder if people actually know what the meaning of "easily" is. I see it thrown around a lot and I believe they don't know what the word means or have a vastly different definition from what normal people would have.

    Here's how easily it could be implemented. The main "difficulty" is that most are convinced BLU wouldn't work within current class design, when the opposite is true.

    * The sad thing is that FFXIV turned RDM into a turret, and people think that's what it's supposed to be. It's supposed to combine sword and magic into something more, not spend the bulk of gameplay spamming spells and jump into melee for only 3 GCDs before scurrying back to the back line like good little casters.
    * Design ideas:
    Red Mage - COMPLETE (https://tinyurl.com/y6tsbnjh), Chemist - Second Pass (https://tinyurl.com/ssuog88), Thief - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/vdjpkoa), Rune Fencer - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/y3fomdp2)

    its not that hard to build a blue mage pretty easy

    35- Bad breath
    40- Goblin punch (uses no tp or mp and long cd for balance)
    45- Aqua breath
    50 - White wind or 400 thorns or something ( a less powerfull 1000 thorns)

    I hope you don't forget the balance part.
    Thinking out some skills is something everyone can do. But balancing the skills around so they are never too strong and too weak in every possible content is the hard part.

    What a horribly boring class. But it'd still be Blue Mage. If that's all you want out of it, then yes、 it's easy to make. Just give it all random potency skills and flash graphics and away you go.

    It cause of SE stupid battle system and abilities being so limited. They need to redo it all again, because hearing answers like this for Blue Mage is really getting old.

    "We don't know how to implement it."

    "The servers can't handle the load."

    "Ps3 doesn't have the memory to handle that."

    "It's ready now, but it doesn't feel right implementing now"

    Or the infamous "This is how it's going to be" "That's not what I meant"

    3 Years Jesus Christ pick yourselves up already, or get a new team again.
