As it is currently, what BLU can improve on?

1: If not becoming the role with Mimicry, then at least color half of my job icons with the mimicry role. I hate joining a party, leader asks about roles, I reply with DPS and the others are silent. Then we enter and have 1 healer and 3 dps. Being able to see in the party screen what mimicry people have would be a massive QoL.

2: Specificly for tank. Make most of their abilities instant cast, perhaps limiting it to defensive buffs and physical spells. Tanking on BLU is incredible cumbersome at the moment with cast-timers. Also would like a shirk spell.

3: Let us into Eureka and Bozja. It's old content now and could be a fun playground for BLU instead of the mostly one-and-done nature of the job.

4: Introduce BLU-specific materia that can let us alter the gameplay style of the job. Perhaps one materia that increased DoT by 1% each, another increasing fire damage and so on. If it's a job that's not like the others, be more creative with the equipment.

5: More support abilities instead of just it being role spells + as many damage abilities as possible. Let us have some more variation instead of yet more 220 potency spells with a different element (when elements haven't really been used since around the lv 60 carnivals).

Re tank cool-downs, I disagree. Move to a 0.95s cast tier maybe, but it’s fun as it is because it’s clunky not despite.

0.95 would be a fine compromise, I suppose. The thing is that with the 1.76 cast time, if you don't know the strict timeline of a fight, even a measly dungeon fight, you might be caught in the middle of your GCD rolling and the mitigator won't fire off in time. It wouldn't be as bad to miss a tankbuster if (unlike other tanks) BLU's health didn't spike to an autoattack away from death. I know some people enjoy having that kind of difficulty, but tankbuster mitigators are a basic tanking tool, and making that aspect hard to use just elevates immensely the skill floor, alienating players from the role.

I barely remember Stormblood's raid specific timeframes, let alone the dungeon bosses - which is a no issue for a regular tank since you can react to any tankbusters on the go just fine.

1) for a limited job to be less limited, more content to run it as, deep dungeon and the variety dungeons in the future once we get to be lvl 90. In case for deep dungeon it doesent have to be tied to achivments if thats the issue its more the fun factor im after.

2)Make it actually be able to solo stuff to get spells other then overworld mobs and the carnival, Sure dungeons are a huge iff with basic instinct but even then i feel like stuff just damages you alot.

3) As many pointed out get rid of mimicry and just make it a role to select or something that cycles through roles it just feels so annoying to have to find a role if it could be just so simple.

4)Healers could use a reliable regen spell that isnt on a 2min CD

I love BLU but man 6.45 was rather disappointing if i have to be quite honest, not even a nier raid spell that would have been so awesome in general its disappointing that raids dont give any spells given there are people to fill up a 24 man just for log clears

I have an issue on one of my alts which has no tanks or healers unlocked (on purpose), so I'm gated from joining Party Finder groups which have tank/healer slots specified.

BLU should simply be included in the role it's mimicking for the purposes of joining parties in PF.

Furthermore, DISPLAY THE ROLE IN CROSS-WORLD PARTIES!
