Thread: BLU Ultimates in 5.4?

So unless they grant BLU access to those via aetherial mimicry or something, UWU will be impossible regardless of how well they do the fight before the LB section.

I won't call it impossible to do UWU, the new blu spells for 70 might just be powerful enough. I'll never say that something "can't" be done, players pull off the impossible in this game with shocking regularity. I won't expect UWU... but I will gladly watch the race to be the first all blu UCOB run... and if there isn't a glorious staff waiting for them, I'll be upset with them at it.

Just Diamondback and completely ignore it. Allowing BLU into UCoB defeats the whole reason they didn't let you unsync it. Furthermore, if they gave it a weapon, DNC and GNB have every right to be pissed since they didn't get one.

Sollution for that is, of course, to also make DNC and GNB ones.

It's not about power, it's about arbitrary mechanical checks. It's not that the Heal LB3 can cleanse the otherwise uncleansable 'Doom', rather the 'Doom' debuff has a condition where it is removed only by the Heal LB3, so in order for another spell to work on it, they would need to change the coding of the mechanic... which they most likely won't.

Other posters pointing to places where BLU could feasibly learn LB have the right idea, to which I add they could just add Totems like for other spells.

EDIT: BLUCOB remains a possibility depending on whether or not they let BLU use the Raid Finder. I'd love to see it, but I feel they'd have to make UWU possible for BLU in some form if they allow it into UCOB as well.
