    Rework Bluemage!

    Square please do something about Blu. Your plan to make it a solo job to avoid people discriminating against it has failed, if not make it more hated. If people don't have the right spells for it, it's they're folt. You wouldn't let a level 70 gladiator join your PF so why is a Blu without the right spells any different? And as for your "Level 5 Death" argument goes why would you ever let a Blu use that on bosses? You already proven that you add resistances to the death status to most, if not all trial and raid bosses. And the masked carnival is one of the most boring things to do, I will say you did put some good ideas into it, such as bring back old songs and making a cool little mini boss in there. But at the end of the day all fights end in one of two ways. One, run at the boss with all damage ups on and use self destruct or final sting, or two look up a guide online and get the answer to the puzzle them beat the fight. There is no reason for it to stay a limited job. I just want my favorite job in the game instead of a minigame. So please rework this class, I would rather you not add it, then add it in its current state.

    Virtually nobody is happy with BLU in its current beta-but-not-officially-beta-but-really-it-is-beta state.

    Wait until 5.0 and be at peace, valiant Warrior. Shadowbringers will have significant changes. There is a reason why SE brought out Blue Mage now and not at the launch for 5.0. Blue Mage is still incubating and must be segregated from the real classes. Classes are balanced with each other and not in a vacuum.

    For people who want it to be equal to a real job, I don't see the rush at all. There are significant issues with multiple jobs right now and those need to be resolved before we start piling on more jobs and more complexity. The knee-jerk reaction to this increasing complexity is class homogenization. We don't want that!

    For people who are happy to have it be a solo job, I believe that SE sees all these complaints about the fun but short-lived gameplay. I am confident that they will find an ingenious solution if they want to keep this whole "limited job" thing going.

    Just my two cents. But please keep complaining if criticisms are warranted! Multiple things in this game only got fixed because the player base got vocal.

    Well that's nice but that still doesn't change the fact the class can't do the Main Quest and can't survive in post lvl 50 battles. Delete Blue Mage in its entirety and work it again from the ground up please.

    I find this hilarious, coming from someone who has only leveled BLU to lvl 12 (inb4 "I've leveled it on a different character!")

    Yes, the leveling process can be fun, getting spells from overworld mobs as you go. And then you hit lvl 50 and start going for the primal/instance abilities, when it essentially boils down to being carried by lvl 70s, because the learn rate of these spells (especially the primal ones) is ridiculously low.

    also for me this is my first time playing as a blue mage and for me at least i sure as hell hate that how blue mage works right now. i would like to play current content with it then play it as a mini game. since the idea of being able to build my character on what spell is a cool idea. but it not cool to being forced to old and slightly stale content. so for you its a blast good for ya but your in a very small camp of people. and who says that they will take away the customization if they do bring it up to current content.

    I don't know why people think that changing BLU into something that isn't Limited means turning it into a carbon copy of BLM or some such.

    Also, I'm curious as to where the thought process behind BLU currently being any different stems from, given that a large portion of playing BLU is just spamming a 130 Potency ability onto a target with Off-Guard on them and then pressing Primal oGCD abilities during Peculiar Light burst phases. You know, exactly like "Same ol', same ol' DPS" classes.

    Especially when you consider that outside of level 1-49 cheese with 1000 Needles spam and the few notable targets that are actually susceptible to insta-kill effects so can be hit by Doom/Tail Screw/Missile that the only other things that BLU can do is have a slightly more interesting time against trash by comboing stuff like The Ram's Voice > The Dragon's Voice a few times until diminishing returns gives CC immunities. Which is something that could in fact become a core gameplay feature against all targets rather than a limited bit of cheese against irrelevant enemies and is barely notable outside this specific combo (Due to other combo's being either not worth the use such as Aqua Breath > High Voltage which just matches the damage of spamming Glower... Or the combo is really limited such as Level 5 Petrify > Drill Cannon because the CC is based on specific levels...)

    The problem with Blue Mage is that it doesn't have the skills necessary to fulfill a standard tank or healer role. You would need to greatly expand on the BLU skills before you can do that.
