    The Future of Limited Jobs

    So kind of just a request/please SE dont screw these things up/idea -- but Limited jobs need to have a change in definition.
    Enix doesn't allow limited jobs (blue mage being the only one right now) into any endgame conten, This makes me worry for the future of limited jobs when they add more cool ones such as Puppet Master, im worried they will become just another minigame that has no actual bearing in current content.
    thus the level lock and restriction from dngs and stuff, but I say that restriction is not even necessary.
    The problem i believe they see with blue mage is that it would not be balanced, and thus a Hammer to the Meta if it was allowed in endgame boss fights and stuff -- in turn causing an uproar in the competitive/elite community.

    so here is my solution:

    Change what limited jobs restrict. I would say, Allow a Limited job to hit the current content level caps, and allow them to play in main storyline quests, dungeons, normal/hard trials, alliances and roulettes and whatnot just like every other job, However As a limited job they would not be able to Que up for Extreme Trials, nor Savage Trials. This would ensure those who want to play the limited jobs would be able to do so freely -- appeasing the casual players who just want to play the class, but Limited jobs would not be able to que up for the content where "balance" is intentional and mandatory Thus the Competitive crowd would have nothing to complain about -- Win Win, and no more screwing up cool classes!

    Actually as a raider I think savage on BLU is a lot of fun as it lets us tackle fights in a new way and it would be sad to remove it. It's really lame too that BLU is not allowed in Ultimate (ain't ever gonna forgive SE for that...)

    I think bumping it to level cap but preventing it to enter the currently relevant floors (so allow them up to e8s but prevent them from entering e9s~e12s until 6.0) would be the best they could do. I also think they should be able to enter Ultimate with the rewards tweaked accordingly.

    I'll also add that while BLU trivialized Coils and Alexander, the DPS check on Omega is much tighter and the optimization there is to do is downright silly.
    Additionally while learning a whole mechanic is good thinking but not required in a regular comp, you HAVE to learn every role's mechanics on BLU as technically, it's all DPS and sometimes adapt really fast and make priority systems to determine who goes where (ie o12s' patches).

    Have you ever tried to play content as blue mage with a normal party? I did with my friends once and I was the entire DPS, tank, and healer. They'll have to nerf it for it to be even remotely fun for others in dungeon content

    Right!?
    I'm actually kinda sad when one of my friends wants to bring BLU into one of our dungeon runs because it means no one else will be doing much of anything else...
    People already complain that dungeons can be dull, but my gosh does partying with a BLU take that to new heights.
