Limited jobs as a concept SUCKS! I hope SE never does this again!

I'd be fine seeing Puppet Master, but untill the AI is fixed on the current pet system to make them more responsive then it still needs a lot of work, and could mean other Limited Jobs might come first. Alright sure in solo content it might not be as big of a deal, but in other group stuff it could have issues as a tank.

Limited Jobs don't fit in any role, blu mage use caster for glamour purposes but is not a dps technicaly, you can't creare a limited job tank or healer if they are supose to be alone in his own duty.

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.

Every job is a dps with more or less defensive skills and more or less healing skills in solo content, only on party content they use they maximun potential as tank, healers and dps, blu is not a dps bcs is a job that can't play with others its just role-less, you can't desing a limited job with fully tanking or healing capabilitys if there is no party to protect or heal.

I don't think limited Jobs Will be competitive Jobs by how BLU is designed, there is no way a job with 50 and more skills get in to the job balance and if It comes as a competitive job it will be as a new one complety independent and not like the current one we are going to get.

It can party up though, just not randomly.

Being on a Party dosen't mean its belong to a specific role, BLU can't go to matchmaking since don't have a role to being with, its a job designed to single players so its don't needs any role for It, about dutys i know BLU can go to his unique dutys but devs where not clear about the others apart of can't go in to dutys that require matcaking, like dungeons and old raids.

The point of limited Jobs is fit certain Jobs it in the Game without the requeriments of ffxiv combat system including the role system by default since they are played solo due his gathering mechanics to get skills and the huge amount of options are supose to have, so its pointless make a limited job more limited with the role system when its supose to have more freedom there to compensate being a "límites job".
