BLU spells that could use a rework

[Cabalabob]

It's a hot take because everyone seems to love this spell as it is: Moon Flute.

I know why it's designed that way. I know how to use it properly. I don't mind that it forces a 2minute burst phase on BLU...

But I can't in good faith say that spending 15 whole seconds doing nothing but running around is a good design in a game like XIV.

I would instead, design a Waning Nocturne phase with the Blue Mage temporarily transforming into a Kappa, with an underpowered combo action.

I agree, I like moon flute for the power, but as an ability it’s really not that fun, there’s a reason that berserk on old WAR was changed to not work like this (and WARs version could actually be esuna’d so it actually had more interaction to it than moon flute). There are ways to give BLU a powerful burst window that could be more fun and interactive than moon flute. I only really left it out because I’m looking at moves that don’t work. Moon flute is functional, it’s just not that fun.

Eerie Soundwave: Let this actually remove something on an enemy or an incurable status on a party member, give it a long cooldown

I left out eerie soundwave because technically there’s nothing wrong with the move, it’s the game’s design that’s the problem. It could definitely be made more useful though, like if we could completely break mechanics with it (I’m thinking like if we could remove the damage up and vulnerability down buffs the 2 knights in Thordan or the omega twins in O12s get when they get close to eachother).
