    When it comes to the way Mimicry borrows a role's capabilities, I like it. It's such a flavorful and wacky spell that is missing from all the other jobs. I really don't mind losing a minute looking for people to borrow roles from. I'd rather they make it less annoying to transition from one role to another instead of constantly rearranging your skills and bars. The save skill sets help, but it's not perfect. It's not that much of a hassle really and you kind of get used to it after a while, but can be worked on.

    What QoL I want for BLU? It's not much of a gameplay suggestion (though it could be), I really want SE to rename the concept as something other than "Limited job". Something catchier and less needlessly negative would work much better. I don't know why they settled on that name. Maybe a language barrier thing? Anyway, something like Loremaster or Lore Seeker would work better from a marketing and conceptual perspective. Especially if/when they add more jobs like BST and PUP to it.

    The ability to unlock all the spells without having to trawl through PF would be the biggest one for me. Also, the ability to run Squadrons and Deep Dungeon content.

    BLU tanking isn't really fun. A lot of the high end raid content is more or less diamondback perfectly or die to mechanic + autoattack. Maybe if the tank mimic emulated the health bonus that tanks actually get their survivability would be more consistent

    This is honestly my biggest gripe about trying to do BLU-only instances.

    You already do pathetic amounts of damage as a BLU tank due to Mighty Guard's damage reduction, and your dependence on Diamondback means you also spend a significant amount of time spamming Blood Drain just to ensure you have enough MP for every tank buster that comes up, then you lose uptime from spending more time in Diamondback then everyone else does.

    Even just something like a 20% HP boost on tank mimicry would definitely make staying alive prior to casted tank busters a lot more comfortable because right now just an auto + instant tank buster like Flarethrower or Divine Spear can potentially be lethal. Having some non-Diamondback cooldowns to depend on would also make using DPS abilities a more realistic prospect.

    The one thing that annoys me is in terms of the spells. You must click and activate which spells to use and look through the spell book or whatever and slot abilities from there.
    More insta cast spells would be nice also.

    Aethereal Mimicry QoL

    1.use Aethereal Mimicry without other players, you used the spell, a pops up show which role to mimic, done, only usable outside an instance of course.
    2.New Job Icons to reflect what role that person has mimic
    3.New BLU/ROLE slots for PF, so BLU can join PF right away as BLU/ROLE instead of joining as either Tank or Healer then switch to BLU later and has to run around looking for players to lick.

    I'd love to see all of this. On top of that I'd also love to see an option to mark PFs as BLU content for visibility. Right now the only way to distinguish a BLU party from say a WT party is the description.

    Also related to the BLU mimicry. When you have tank or healer mimicry the game needs to recognize you as such for the boss' mechanics that target a specific role. For example there are mechanics that specifically target a healer, when you do it as a group of BLUs the targets chosen are random.
    I've mentioned this before, but ideally color of your BLU icon in the PF could change to the color of the role you mimic. With red as DPS by default.

    Sometimes rumors are just... rumors.

    This would be such a cool change, but I suspect we will never see it. With how much the devs talk about spaghetti code, it wouldn't surprise me that if the icon is hard coded into the job, and giving a job 3 icons is something that the engine simply can't handle.
