    People can go into content at level 90 without a job stone equipped. The 'oh what if you don't have the right spells' argument holds no water. The 'oh what if you took a BLU into raid and it oneshot the boss with LVLDeath' does not either because every raidboss is hardcoded to be immune to death effects (and the effect can be adjusted to 'tries to instakill, if it fails, deals damage with a potency of X'

    The 'identity' of BLU was never anything more than 'learn enemy spells somehow (even the method isn't consistent!), use enemy spells'. So if there were a system, where you learn a basic set of skills (to make sure that every BLU at max has 'the right spells'), and the spells you go out and 'learn' for the identity part were 'spell glamours', that'd resolve every issue. The 'extra effects' like 'oh Ink Jet blinds' or 'LVL death instantkills' can be tied to additional effect text that only applies when unsync or in the carnivale. And the carnivale would stay as both a BLU exclusive piece of content and a vehicle to deliver some of the job quests through. If Performance is locked behind levelling BRD, why not have Carnivale be BLU's 'thing'

    In fact, here is a list I made of what spells could essentially be 'glamours' of each other.

    But yes, the fact that 'class that is all about levelling faster via open world grinding on mobs, and learning skills from them' is not able to go int Eureka, which is 'zone all about levelling via open world grinding on mobs, many varieties of them with different skills' is possibly the biggest missed trick I've ever seen in gaming. And I saw Blizzard miss their chance to own DOTA, so the bar's pretty high
