Blue Mage (and probably Red Mage) are likely to be on hold until we get actual spec tree's. I can see Blue Mage going the way of Druid, and Red Mage going the way of Shaman. This could aslo open up things like, SMN (our current one but more boom) SCH(same) and Evoker(fight with Carbuncle and be more status effect/dot based). Using actual spec tree's would probably make things a lot better >_>. Just let Stat accollation be independent between specs.
