blu mage / limited job duty finder

[mini_zin]

since more blu mage stuff is coming out and SE has already gotten on to us about glitch leveling the class when it came out. it would be a perfect time to implement a Limited class duty finder , that way if they do put more limited class in (time mage / beastmaster hopefully) we can all play together and learn blu spells while doing it.

This is literally happening, innit? They're supposed to be adding 'new' content for squads of four BLUs with the advent of the blue mage rework.

i didnt hear anything about it. all i heard was "heres new spells" "do it synced to get the achievement". but if they are , this is great news

It's complicated when you think about that. They would have to change the system quite a bit in order to allow BLU to go into duties since you can kinda be any role. Not only that but there's no way for the system to check what skills you have before entering a duty, and even if it did just having X amount of skills doesn't necessarily mean you have the ones required to run a dungeon. Like tank stance, heals and etc.

I'm sure that if they're adding a system by which you can organize parties exclusively of blue mages that they'll add something like this to make sure you have the bare minimum required to fulfill a role before you're allowed to randomly match using it.

Either that or Party Finder gets stuffed to the gills with folks just trying to make sure you aren't joining the higher-end runs with only water cannon. Either or.

As long as its a full premade i see no problems because then the burden of communication is on ppl who wanted to do it in the first place.

so... party finder then.

We have that. It exists already. We... you... just... just use party finder.

As of the recent Datamine there seems to be buffs BLU can cast which adds a tank healer or dps icon to their buff bar, so in a BLU DF scenario these abilities could change your role and lock you into it if you queue, but as we know right now theirs achievements and logs being added but no ease of DF

Leveled BLU recently and it's kinda a mess, all things considered. So, i'd be all for some more BLU roles rework (like better Mighty Guard for tank stance, some actual mitigation skills, White Wind mp cost reduction and maybe added regen for some sorta healer stance).
Dungeons are usually designed about having a tank, and while Ram's Voice can trivialize most of the trash, it does not work on bosses. For example, ran Sastasha (Hard) for skills with all BLU party recently. First boss is super hectic, someone died because HP to 1, so we decided to wipe, because dead BLU can't learn skills.
So, i type into chat, "can't someone pop mighty guard, The Look and just tank it?" I get a reply, that you really need Diamondback for it to work. I had all 3, and we cleared the boss without much trouble afterwards, since Diamondback is cheat.

was going to suggest:

Tail Screw is much easier to learn in the Peaks. Use a fish to get on the agro table of one of them scorpiony mobs beside the waterfall, then have your friend knock it down. Eventually you get Tail Screw this way. Tail Screw is your god damn keys to the castle.

Tail Screw destroys bosses (as does Doom and Missile), and off the top of my head, it will get you clear to Diamondback, clear to both Flamethrower bosses, clear to Siren, most of your blue-mage-specific bosses that have moves are in dungeons where death-spells slay your first bosses, making the rest of the trip a joke.

As for blue tanking--Mighty Guard, White Wind, and blood drain is more effective.
