BLU for Duty Finder and Raids! Show your support!

Was just having a think, one of the reasons people have been constantly giving for not having BLUs in the DF is they would destroy low level content. But with the addition of dancer, and general potency changes this expac all lowe level instances get handily destroyed already. Food for thought

I mean, ARR content - the only content Blue Mage would currently even be able to even do - has already been pretty much ruined for years now anyway... When was the last time half the mechanics in the Crystal Tower raid actually even happened, for example?

BLU's dead as was predicted even far back when it was announced. Even for ARR stuff BLU is forbidden by PF, so I guess it's glorified weekly.

Btw Male Viera thread been going far stronger than actual gameplay that matters. If only people were more enthusiastic about a playable job.

I would like to note that I intend to continue fighting for Blue Mage. There's no doubt in my mind that it would have been my first job to level 80 had that been an option. The other day, I strolled into Il Mheg as Blue Mage wanting to see how much damage I could do with Final Sting against a Killer Bee. (It missed both times I tried, for those who are curious.) It was just a bit of fun in my desperate attempt to get as much use out of Blue Mage as I can get.

I know there are many others who will continue the fight. Right now, we're waiting. Waiting for SE to drop the latest side content which they hope will be good enough to satisfy players. However, I don't think we're waiting to see if SE might be right. We're waiting to prove them wrong.

I support it.
But I also support BLU getting more useful skills because the majority of them are flavour text imo. (Stuns, stuns, and more stuns! Oh wait, this one's a five second silence. And then more stuns!) Not to mention it has no real rotation, so it's six seconds (or was it 4 seconds?) cast for at least one spell is a biiiit steep. I'd have figured it'd be more like RDM where some spells took long to cast unless something proc'd it.

I'm very open to the idea of it being so incredible that I won't want it as a regular job. I just have no idea what kind of content that would be. Also you know, I play the game to do things on my Jobs, so not being able to do Job things on a Job is a very hard sell. We just need to get everyone out in force if the the new content in 5.1 is bad.

That's gonna be a really hard sell for me, if they're trying to get me to be fine with BLU being limited.
It feels like no matter what content they put out, it wouldn't compare to... simply being able to do raids/dungeons/trials/etc in a good ol' party setting with no restrictions.

Posting to show my support for BLU to become a full Job

Has anyone suggested a "Bluelette", a Roulette section solely for Blue Mages to group up with each other?

[BHolland]

if theirs another limited job like BLU I dont want it. Its like having nothing because you can't do anything with it

Its been suggested, but SE would probably fire back with the argument of not wanting people to be kicked for not having the spells that would make the roullete fastest, which is one of the reasons why it isnt in the regular df. This wouldnt be an issue if the spells werent rng locked but shhhh.
