These are just my musings on how I would like to see a Blue Mage could be implemented in FFXIV. Inspiration was taken from the FFXI class storyline. I tried to avoid specifics of Traits/Spells/etc to leave these up to SE, but I feel like the mechanics are sound. It will be split into multiple posts.


Blue Mage

Employing the legendary arts of the Near East, these formidable fighter-mages employ elegantly curved blades for close combat, while decimating their enemies with fell magic mastered from their opponents.

Blue Mage is a Disciple of War class that specializes in dual wielded Curved Blades and Blue Magic. The Blue Mage is a physical, melee class that relies on strength to slay their enemies with spell and blade. Blue Mage is a DPS that wears leather and cloth armor. The most important stat for Blue Mage is strength, which increases melee damage.
