I know I'm not the only one getting sick to death of all the BLUs everywhere. Let's do something about it!

I'm proposing a "No BLU December". For the month of December, I will not participate in any parties/alliances that include a BLU.

99% of the content out there where people stack BLUs can be completed just as easily with any DDs in the game. I'm tired of the entitled BLUs who are impossible to convince to do anything other than "hurr durr CDC." Let's bring back some diversity in the game.

So basically, you aren't going to do anything for the month of December.

Unless you plan on farming ***solo....

A) if you want to pay my sub I'll do whatever you want.

B) lol at this entitled blu stuff. You think blu is just spamming CDC so you want to replace it with what? War/drk spamming reso? Thf/dnc spamming rudras/evis?

This post is a joke at least I cast some spells as blu and I have to use exp to set up my aftermath anyway.

I'm not sure what's going on with our server (Asura) but my LS has been using DRG COR(DD) RUN(DD) DRK SAM etc ever since the evasion adjustment quite regularly.

BLU's are great and have awesome utility, but they're far from the end all be all for the content we do.

I remember people saying the same thing way back before the Ranger "nerf". Then again when Sam was the DD of choice. And again when Abyssea came out and Nin and Mnk were the main DDs. And I even saw some people refuse to do NNI with Sch, before the Embrava nerf.

Fact is, there will always be certain jobs that are more optimal than others, for DD, Nuking, Tanking, and Healing. You can either choose not to play, or accept it and benefit from it, even using it to advance your own favorite jobs, so that when the time comes, maybe they will be the favorite ones, and you will get the chance to shine.

BLU is the best, I can't believe the hate people have for it. After all the ***it was given in the past, its in its rightful place in FFXI right now.

The bait thread.

And BLU isn't needed at all for either regular or intense Amboop for November.

I dano a lot of content I've just used bard blms. In Japanese groups I've been in they use blue as a buffer and stunner. It is true blue can do a lot of content by itself or get loads of invites. Sadly it's not the blue mage players fault it's mostly the moronic and usually American parties that are blu only or gtfo. Hell on the Japanese forums even SE has called out US players for not trying different methods instead the "popular" easier ways. Either way like everything else in the past enough complaints will be a nerf. Good or bad it will happen just like beastmasters never getting a nerf or adjustment. Oh wait now you can't afk kill while watching Netflix anymore. Yeah I was one of those beasts. Blame the lazy community that are blu only or gtfo not the blues. I remember when US players use to *** about jap only parties. Ironic now isn't it?

This thread is about the element with atomic number 11, when paired with element with atomic number 17, and how in moderation it can be the greatest thing.

I haven't done anything big on BLU in a long time even though I have all the super weapons AG'd and ***. Mostly been using heavy DD's with appropriate buffs / ect.. to murder stuff.

People need to stop focusing purely on BLU, it's the best when your doing stuff with 2~3 people but 2H DD's scale the best with appropriate buffs. The only ones being left out right now are MNK's and NIN's due to their unique situational requirements.
