What BLU got this Patch

[silentwindfr]

You have every right to hate it man

Their words: BLU gonna be OP. Everything. Gonna be able to solo E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G.

What we get: BLU gonna be somewhat kinda-ish OP not-really but it's close. I swear it's close. Nah, not even. Sorry, too OP, had to nerf.

EDIT: And you know what this makes me realize? All they should've done is essentially create content AROUND that OP-ness. It's like doing the final extra dgns in a rpg after you went out of your way to collect the best weapons and farm the best skills. Those type of dgns are catered around that and anything less means you'll get destroyed.

Why didn't they just do that instead?

the thing about being op is not even true, blu is op when you have all the skill and can get some nice combo.... but before this? don't dream on it.... plus a lot of skill are here for justify the blue carnival like sonic boom.... that is simply water jet in wind version.

Blu is op, going to need to be solo job and not do group content.
Can’t clear first set of mobs in a lvl 50 dng solo.
Huh. What’s op about a 220 (dropping to 110) aoe attack?
Feels like I have more 220 aoe attacks than I know what to do with. It’s not even an op potency.
Most combos do t even work as the trash pick immunity or are just immune to the stat rebuff needed to combo.
Lvling blu towards 60 has reminded me why I didn’t carry on withr it and the spells once I hit 50. (Only had half the spells at 50 but was enough for me to call it job well done once I called)

[Crushnight]

To add even more salt, WHY THE HELL CAN'T BLU ENTER PoTD SOLO/FIXED GROUP? what purpose does that serve it is long outdated and relegated to levelling alt jobs up, locking it out just harms Blu more. :/

Also after getting every skill, i'll say this i have fun with new skills but novelty wears off fast i'd like Blu to be made df able, every reasoning they have come up with has been crushed by their actions with this patch.

As for the morbol mount i laughed looking at requirements and said welp bet that be rarer than the ranked pvp ones XD.

I really like the new Sophia skill

[MrPresident]

This game gets a lot right, but Blue Mage is an example of an unwillingness to accept when they get stuff wrong. The whole implementation should have been scrapped and rebooted. Instead they’re trying to reanimate the corpse of a dead job by luring people in with the possibility of earning a Morbol mount.

If you’re not going to rebuild it, just let BLU die and never do another limited job again.

[Duskane]

The game play of Blue is lacking too it really needs some OGCDs to be somewhat interesting

But at this point they should just make another blue mage thats a regular job and leave this limited job gimick to this version of Blue and nothing else

[Theodric]

As someone who defended BLU in the past due to seeing the potential it had even in its limited form, I'm disappointed that the development team have decided to double down on the more controversial aspects of the job.

I want to play around with it, though I don't foresee being able to find seven other players to team up with who want to tackle something as difficult Alexander Savage as an all BLU party. So many of the abilities are practically useless outside of very niche situations...and even then, they just lack the sort of 'oomph' that was hyped up when we were told that BLU was going to be really overpowered.

[RyuSaarva]

I was having a blast today, can't wait to continue tomorrow, the only problem for me is that I stopped raiding after t8, would be kinda funny to get the first clear as a bluemage.

[Destati]

There is nothing OP about BLU, the requirements for getting the Morbol - which to my understanding was a highly-requested mount - are absolutely ridiculous and are just a BS means to artificially increase the content's longevity.
I'm still salty about that "Brush with Death" debuff. Way to restrict the class even more, SE.

why do you need a sucide skill, just use aoes to kill the enemies or level 5 death which won't slow the party down because they have to wait people to run back to the party.
