Limited Job Tanking

[Jkap_Goat]

FF14 is technically solo(not sure if that's the case with Shadowbringers) outside instances and tanks and healers can survive on their own along with the DPS. That doesn't mean they do everything alone. BLU also can be anything you want it to when you have all the abilities but before that you would still need some help from other players. Having healing magic doesn't make you a healer, having defensive cooldowns doesn't make you a tank. BLU is actually still DPS if you think about it in that perspective.

I personally believe that limited jobs will take some time but it's not forever locked out of random matchmaking, so it's good to have roles to support that.

Blue mage isn't a DPS though. It's whatever spells you have learned and used. Blue mage doesn't fit the holy Trinity because it can use monster abilities, like if they steal all the healing abilities it can heal same with tanking abilities, it can tank.

Hopefully they won't ever make a limited job again, I think.

It'll be forever given how Blu works and play style but yes It can group as long as it use Party Finder just not Deep Dungeon or PVP. What they mean by Solo Jobs is that it will be getting all it's XP out in the field and even though it can do Dungeons it will get very little XP or the group will not get bonus for having a Blue Mage in their group while in Dungeons they are favoring out of Dungeon Contain for the Blue Mage instead.

Limited jobs dont have roles, so they will always be DPS. So in this case puppetmaster, beast master, and onion knight will be limited jobs.

I'd rather have them as fully fleshed out jobs.

welp, looks like my fear was justified, people actively asking for unfinished jobs, as soon as I read about blue mage I knew this day would come.
