So...About Blue Mage

[ReiMakoto]

It's almost a normal caster rotation. But there is a glaring issue - Moon Flute. That mechanic simply has to go otherwise BLU will become the old SAM on steroids, feeding every raid buff with ungodly burst numbers.

Very true, and as much as i like moonflute as a concept i wouldnt mind giving it up or having a weaker version of it for the sake of balance on a normal job blu, as it does seem to be the only sticking point of its rotation, they would have to compensate elswhere though, as blus damage output without moonflute isnt all that.

Edit: a decent change could be "the next 5 spells cast have the effect of bristle/whistle applied to them and are instant cast" then shorten the lockout time to 10s, that way moonflute helps set up triple trident and matra under buffs
