What BLU got this Patch

[Burningskull]

Got BLU to 60. Got all my spells. Haven't done the Log or Achievements and wont. Wont use BLU till next update. Which will probably be next expansion. Please don't make anymore limited jobs.

I'm loving how versatile Blue mage is, I'm loving healer blue mage. It's so much fun, doing primal spells, buffing DPS spells, an Small AoE+ Esuna healing spell with Mog Pom? Goodbye AST!!

And Square, thank you for making BLU fun!

I'm definitely enjoying the old content with nothing but blues mages and seeing what they can do.

I also Tanked for the first time, as a Blue mage and I really enjoy BLU tank

I just wish that you can save spells in slots when you change "active set"

There's a way to do this using macros and class hotbars. Basically you build the BLU hotbars on Gladiator as an example, and then use a macro to swap your BLU hotbar with your GLA hotbar. Not the best solution, but it does do what you are asking for.

I don't understand how to do this,and I play with a controller

I have to say, running content as groups of BLU is pretty enjoyable. A lot of the new abilities are pretty useful. Some are very niche/basically copies of each other but I don't mind too much as there's room to build things to one's tastes.

So, what BLU got this Patch?
You know, it almost feels like a normal job. 60 rotation is pretty fun. I am still deciding if i actually want Knife for super easy weaves or not, since it's melee only, but JUSTICE KICK exists. That also includes Ram's Voice for Umbral Libra, since all other options kinda suck at the moment.

What it needs is some improvements here and there.
The biggest of them is Tank Mimicry. For example under Tank Mimicry Mighty Guard gives +30% max HP. Damage penalty reduced to something reasonable like 20-30%. So it works more or less like a legit tanking stance. Better mitigation tools. Or at least Cactguard being able to be used on self. Ideally as instacast spell. Maybe some improvements to damage shields abilities. I.e. Ice Spikes and Veil of the Whorl.

Healer BLU could use some touch ups, so its not there just to make actual healing spells work. Still, White Wind is fantastic if used properly, but something like bigger single target shield would be amazing.

Angel Whisper could use a recast reduction. Or maybe it's fine as is, when more people actually learn it. Being in 8 man content when only you can cast it has been too often as of now.
Haven't touched Savage or Coils yet. But in "normal" content it's pretty great. Also BLU's burst is stupidly good.

>hold aggro


even that is pretty questionable with how little dmg Might Guard BLUs do.

Here's a little secret: Tank BLUs hold aggro by spamming White Wind.

A lot do that, then die cause the "healer" BLU is too slow to heal them after a buster and they have no MP to heal themselves.


The number of BLUs I strip aggro from as a DPS BLU is silly.

Literally had someone a this week with the healer mimicry on and didn't cast a single healing spell. At that point, just go dps.
