BLU's circular requirements are yet another example of poor job design

[Raikai]

Unrelated to OP's point but "just do the mechanics, just don't die" doesn't work for BLU because of the RNG nature of mechanics and crit auto-attacks (hello Bahamuth with that nasty TB+AA combo on a "tank" that's really just a DPS job with some damage reduction)

If there is any plan to do the synced no echo achievements, raise is a necessity.

Also adding that the tanking game for Blue Mages in Tanking Mimicry is really unnerving for all the wrong reasons:
- They don't benefit from melding Tenacity, which I know it's not really a desirable stat for normal tanks, but I'm sure it would help a ton with the innate squishyness and spikyness;
- ALL of the mitigator spells have a nearly 2s cast time, this makes extremely difficult to properly react to the tankbusters unless you can pinpont precisely when they'll be coming. At least you have Swiftcast, but still it's a 60s cooldown there;

Kudos to people that managed to tank for the Morbol mount, because if this design - as in making a Tank without proper tanking tools THE actual challenge - is intentional then, sadly, isn't for me.
