Why doesn't Blue Mage have a Limit Break option?

[MellowMink]

Since the job's icon is literally categorized as a DPS caster, it seems like Blue Mage should have AOE attacks for Limit Break at the very least; it's weird to me that it's the only combat class or job where I can't use that button at all.

One possibility for the future is that it could become a high-level trait rather than a spell or role action, where the effect of the Limit Break is based on your mimicked role; that's what I would personally to see, although I'll be happy with just anything in the meantime.

No need for a limit break when you have 7 final stings.

It would be nice if some especially impressive actions could be learned as LB options, be cool if they weren't limited to caster DPS options too.

To be fair, I feel like this should be the case for all jobs (or at least those who'd potentially rotate between role affinities based on current summon/mech/song) -- or in the sense that the Limit Break would be more dynamic and manipulable instead of merely one-off role-based action.

Considering we'll probably be able to fight Seat of Sacrifice during EW, perhaps the chance to learn it has yet to come.

But that being said you have Final Sting, Diamond Back, and while White Wind doesn't raise it's still very op.

That would actually be a great place to learn that as an acquired trait, although it does mean that you would need at least one tank (that isn't a blue mage) in the party in order to survive the Limit Break attack.

BLU can already survive raids that require tank LBs.
Diamond Back + Mighty Guard is quite impressive.

LB3 tank is 80%.
Diamondback is 90%.

More than impressive, it's busted.
The only weakness to BLU is the limited raising but again, so many ways to cheese mechanics.
No wonder it's not allowed in UCOB and UWU, those fights would be way easier.

I did neglect to mention in my last reply that Diamondback is really useful and could work for the Seat of Sacrifice trial as well, but I do want to note that the spell is still technically different from a Tank LB3 for two main reasons:

1. It only takes effect for the caster, not all eight party members
2. You can't do anything else, including canceling the effect, while it's active, whereas you can still attack and do other things during a Tank LB3

This is also only talking about a tank effect; there are still DPS and Healer versions to consider. The easiest starting approach though would be to just have a DPS Limit Break option since the overall job is categorized and colored as a DPS job.

We already had the opportunity to learn limit break, so I'm not sure Seat of Sacrifice will teach it. Omega M and F use limit breaks too.
