So - Blu has been in the patch spotlight as of late, but personally, I haven't really experienced an increase in power spike when it comes to contributing in an experience pty. At lvl 59, I feel my BLU is exactly the same as before the changes, minus the fact that combat log has changed - in the past I would get a lot of "xxx hits for 0 dmg", whereas now it gives a different message along the lines of "Has no effect on". I tried subbing on /THF as well, and to my dismay, it doesn't really pull the big numbers. I mainly tried Sneak attack with Uppercut, Sickle slash and mandibular bite, but didn't get satisfying results with either of them, even when pairing them with Chain affinity.
I am very curious on how BLU plays at 75 now and what intel people have on BLU post-patch. Is MND-stacking Caster Mind Blast BLU still a thing at 75 or did that get busted? (patch notes simply state that Mind blast, among other spells, has received an adjustment) Has physical BLU become viable at 75? I guess I am asking, cause I am sorta timid about leveling the job further, if its only benefit (nuker) got oblivated completely, without another role/playstyle(Physical blu?) rising to take its spot. Afterall, BLU takes a lot of time to level, and especially at 60, many of its core spells are very hard to obtain due to being from Toau (which only got harder with SMNs and BSTs taking a hit in their abillity to tackle those areas)..
Guess I am asking if Mind control is still decent, and if it is not, is something else?
Sincerly, Fluxi
