its nasomi mid night for all AF blu gear after first one. i.e 12 EST i have all the blu AF gear.

As someone who just started levelling BLU (lvl20 currently), mainly because I really like its concept as a class etc...would you say that it's worth it levelling one up? The class seems fun, but I don't really feel like "wasting time" if nobody will ever invite me while other classes are seeking, or it straight up feeling bad/weak numbers-wise.
To be fair, I haven't seen a lot of BLUs around either.

Judging from this topic, it doesn't seem to be that good unless you invest tons of money and time for gear/sword merits...and even then, most other DDs do a much better job with way less (same goes for healers, which have better utility with refresh/haste).

Should I just level another class up and wait for BLUs to "get better" or should I stick with it? The whole learning ALL the spells & such is already as time consuming as levelling in general...but if in the end it feels bad/weak I don't know if I wanna invest the time (and money) into it...I'd rather keep lvling my other jobs (BST/WHM).


Thanks in advance for the info.

blu is the true jack of all trades master of none , others tank better , heal better, debuff better , and DD better , Blu can spike some amazing numbers with proper setup , and is self-sustainable.

isnt a useless job , but dont expect fast invites.

BLU never becomes an "optimal" job imo, but I do recommend leveling it if you enjoy the flavor of the job.

There are some things BLU can do such as niche tanking and AoE cleaving. It's also "cheap" in the sense that you don't have to pay for spells, but it's probably offset by the amount of gear you need to perform well.

the whole point of the job is the access to be able to do everything, just like RDM. it's not gonna be A+ in damage/healing/tanking/etc, but it's very good at everything in 99% of scenarios.
