An Empty Vessel........

doesn't have INT on it's main weapon for "reasons". I honestly wonder how much more damage it would do if they simply added INT to it's main weapon. Probably not that much.

If they did this, they would have to make a weapon for every few levels and they didn't want to do that. It might actually do less damage with INT on the weapon instead, it's hard to say because there are some extra traits on BLU which increase base action damage and HP restoration, above what other casters have.

To be fair, BLU's damage calcs are different than other jobs'. If they just had normal weapons, they'd have the normal damage calculations too.

Their damage calcs should be normal, they just have an increased base action damage and HP restoration. Most casters have a 10% and 30% increase in damage and healing, but blue mage has a 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% increase to make up for the weapon.
