Problem with BLU solutions

[Aerlana]

2. Give Blue Mage two versions. One balanced for solo play, and one for group play.
Nah. Not only would it be too much work, it wouldn't be pracitcal. Where would you learn how to use group blue mage? You wouldn't have the same rotation. Hell, at this point we don't even know if blue mage has a rotation at all? With different traits and abilities it will be like a different job you never played. You can't fight raids with a job you can't use. Or at the very least you shouldn't.

With ungarmax matter, we know that side content are designed by different people that the one making fights, they can easily take a team of people specilist about balance between jobs, and saying "Here is the X skills the blue mage will have, take as much as other jobs have skills, adapt them to create a BLU raiding gameplay"
It wouldnt be so much work, it is not doing a new job from 0. skills already get aesthetic things, and a global idea of the effect.

How to learn it... i forgot the punchingball are in openworld, ok. It is a matter this idea (i support a lot) have to address.
but to train it... just in brutal primals and story mode... Like you already did for the existing job? Personnally i learned to use jobs not in dongeons, i did level all with fate train before 2.1... but i did read the skills/trait descriptions, and work them on the relic quest (so chimera, hydra, ifrit, garuda and titan). This will work to learn how to play the "raid" BLU, and with any jobs...


I understand you care about the amount of work of one of the biggest dev team of the industry (500 without the "management team" said yoshida during gamescon). But i dont think it would add such colossal time for them. And for the learning of players, i really dont see the matters ! If you see one, just explain it.


And this idea get nothing away, it just add thing, adds way to play the game.
