General BLU question #nosalt

[Acidblood]

I'm expecting Blue Mage to be balanced a bit higher than a normal job (in terms of DPS, etc., especially if element weaknesses are a thing outside of Masked Carnival), however I think most of its 'soloability' is going to come from the shear range of abilities it will have access to.

For example, in a similar way to RDM having a heal making if far more 'soloable' than a BLM, I expect Blue Mage will have at least one heal, several 'stun' / 'disable' like abilities (e.g. bad breath), mitigation / shield abilities, crowd control abilities (e.g. sleep), and a few OP abilities (e.g. Death).

So yeah, you won't necessarily be able to just kick the door in and 1-shot everything, but smart use of abilities will allow you to do a LOT more content solo than a standard job of the same level.
