    BLU Limit Break and QOL

    I absolutely loved the job however one of the things I was a little disappointed with was that BLU had no Limit Break. Does BLU "Need" limit break? Not really, but had an idea that might make it a little fun and keeping in BLUs "learning" aspect.

    In FF8, Quistis' ultimate limit break was Shockwave Pulsar. It was also used by one of the end bosses, Griever. To keep in FFXIV style of BLU, add Griever as a 8-man Masked Carnivale Trial where the Limit Break can be Learned. Let it be equipped like the other spells, however in the description it would state that the spell does not consume MP, but can only be used when Limit Gage is full. This way we're just not given the ability, but have a fun way of obtaining it as well.

    Now as for other QOL changes these thoughts mostly came to me when partying with other BLU. First thing I can understand WHY the no-queue thing exists, but at least make a BLU-queue a thing for a BLU only party. Majority of the time I'm sitting there refreshing the PF screen until something I'm looking for pops up. Right now this isn't too big of an issue but as the job hype dies down so will the PF for it. On an unrelated note with PF, I was kicked out of a WT Odin because I was "not using a real job". I have all spells, I just thought it would be fun. Haven't seen this much animosity towards a job since LOLDRG in XI.

    Next thing would be nice to see when other BLUs learn a spell. Like how Level Up appears above a character's head, do something similar but with the BLU mask instead. This would be good for 2/2 or 4/4 learning parties, but not really something that is necessarily "needed", just small qol. And last "not needed", but make the job icon a different color than the dps red, give "Limited Jobs" its own color in the party list.

    I really liked Shockwave Pulsar, it was pretty amazing and only one of a couple attacks in FF8 that could actually deal 5 digits worth of damage in a single hit (Eden being the other one). However I'm curious if it's really the best LB option to give to BLU, I mean there are other possibilities we could choose from like Kimahri's Nova was pretty cool as well or FF7's Pandora's Box. Also some players are theorising that if there is a Gunblade job in the next expac, Greiver could make for a primal fight (MSQ or optional) so there is that too consider.
    Definitely would like to see BLU have a limit break though regardless of what it is.

    Having a LB on BLU would be cool.

    Having to learn said LB would be interesting.

    Having to learn said LB from yet more Party content? Nah. I'm not down for that.

    While they insist on having BLU being unable to properly partake in group content, I'm against any further "Party Required" content for BLU the supposed "Solo Friendly Job".

    It's more than likely that BLU will just end up getting the same LB as other magical rDPS. Especially since one of their main concerns when deciding to make BLU a Limited Job was people not learning/equipping spells that people wanted them to have and a powerful skill such as a Limit Break would be the epitome of a skill that people would want them to have access to.
