Full Blu Concepts

[Encaitar_Envinyatar]

I had been tinkering with the idea of a party version of blue mage for a few months. I honestly do not have any opinions about the announced implementation being am alternate system. I'm was mainly just challenging myself to think about how to make it feel as nostalgic BLU as possible within the available party system.

Concept: Mid-to-long range magic DPS with different damage types that enhances party utility of certain jobs; primary stat is INT. There are three resources: MP, blue mana (BM; which accrues up to a limit of 50), and burst affinity (which accrues up to 3). To keep things simple, the potencies that I list are the combo potencies only. Please note, when BLU inflicts a physical damage resistance, it does it differently than other jobs. It not only inflicts the effect if it is not present but adds to the duration if it is present.


Statuses

• Mind Blast: Upgrades certain area of effect actions.
• Convergence: Restricts area of effect actions to a single target and increases potency by 1.5 times.
• Azure Lore: Increases magic damage by 25% and upgrades certain actions.
• Oil: Increases vulnerability to fire damage by 10%.
