Afania, youre completely missing the points. I'm not saying blu should replace cor or that cor should be nerfed or anything like that.

Cor has gotten updates, HUGE updates in ALL aspects of their play.

Blu has not.

That's hyperbole, though. BLU gets malig like many other jobs. It gets naegling/nyame like many other jobs. It's even on maxentius which is pretty damn good.

Sure, you or draylo wanted duration buffs. But not having them is not the same as getting nothing ever.

Then when I pointed out the hyperbole in BLU QQ posts people changed the topic to pt invite issue which is a totally different issue.

I mean...if you want to exaggerate in Draylo style then go ahead >.> But I am just gonna make fun about the them as usual! >.>
No you changed the topic and started with blu should cry about gear cor should be crying over gear. Just let it die you seem to think blu has no reason to complain about gear and clearly don't play the job or haven't in forever. Saying because they got the same gear everyone got then they shouldn't be complaining then by that token nor should cors about gear which means your comment makes even less sense than before. All in all blu needed help it didn't get and it's not just game mechanics. Cor wasn't doing damage that spot be with geo but se more sure that wouldn't happen by nerfing geo debuff bubbles.
Do we need another DD at the top tier? Should BLU not just be useful for other things?
No we don't but we don't need to act like chimps and say cor needs more help than blu. Acting like cor is in a bad spot because they didn't gear when it needs no help while blu did need some help in points people listed is stupid.

(e.g. physical spells do the damage they did 15 years ago)

I 100% agree with you about duration buff, but I dont remember physicals spells doing 8-10k (without CA/Efflux) 15 years ago :)

Sinker Drill is actually pretty good imo. Good for finishing segments mobs on 3rd and 4th floor, when they are left at ~10%HP sometimes after WS. CA/Efflux Sinker Drill is also nice to close Darkness after Expiacion.

Has there been an XiView update yet?

the old ui mods should be fine for now if you want to use them, they should only break if you get hit by these new debuffs

Also, besides for traits like 90% of the BLU spells are garbage lol. Physical spells are basically never used, along with the fact that the skillchain/mb aspect of the job are on two minute timers.

No one is wanting BLU to be top tier as a DD. Everyone is clamoring for their buff durations to be enhanced. You know, to make it a hybrid job instead of a DD that uses MG every 5 minutes that can cleave trash mobs
What would it change if SE do that though?

When did you ever see anyone shout for one though? Really? It's always WAR DRK SAM. Last time I saw a DRG was in a pick up Sheol C where they did 1k DPS using trishula

DRG is the strongest DD for segments now. /dnc with Naegling/Kraken.
This is fine to write on a forum, and this is EXACTLY what I am saying here. On paper does not translate to in-game actual use. How many of you genuinely use a DRG in your static, or for anything other than maybe Bumba? Which can be done with a SB DRK in place.

But that'll lose ancient circle. Does SB DRK even outparse SB DRG on bumba? DRK doesn't cap JA haste single wield, doesn't have WSD trait nor fencer, doesn't have dragon killer nor ancient circle. I don't know what makes it a top bumba DD choice besides a bit more chaos roll job proc bonus tbh.

DRG is also good for bee, because of piercing.

I agree COR is more than fine, but I don't play BLU and if people don't want it to be a DD, what buffs do you want and what is it going to change for being usable in group (not solo) content?

I didn't say it would outparse it, I just mean I am sure it would be able to get the kill done too. WAR DRK COR BRD all using SB should be enough?

Back on topic drk gear just seems like more of an acc set than anything tbh. Hands should be a swap but rest seems kinda meh. I still think we riot about blm gear.

As it stands now, there really is no point to bring a BLU if you are in a competent party. The roles have reversed when it comes to RDM and BLU. The only time you may bring a BLU is to fix holes in your party(like your WHM is trash)

Who said cor is in a bad spot? I only said cor got as many gear update as BLU in the past 4 years(which is fact) but BLU q.q 10 times harder as if it's the only job in the world that SE doesn't buff. So I call that hyperbole.

That is NOT the same as saying COR is in a bad spot.

I don't agree. I think Odyssey strongly favors it. It's okay, you don't have to agree with me. I'll just silently abuse the advantage of it myself, lol.

They did not get the same quality of gear in the last 4 years. Just literally in the quality of relic and SU5 lol. And if we take it back even further when they started giving roll+ on gear, it has been nothing but expanding COR's power, where BLU has been stagnant.

With full duration of 8-10mins, could BLU replace COR as a hybrid DD with current spells?

I mean I'd use it for WS but drk semi didn't need help with more WSD stuff IMHO though it is very very nice.

So I wanna ask this are we missing something with geo or is SE? The earrings make 100% no sense. The gear in some slots are okay like I expected geo gear to be meh but like the earrings I thought would be good.

Kinda disappointed that BRD body got 1% duration. My hopes of the +3 being 20% are diminishing.

The patch notes say you need to participate in Sortie as the job you want to upgrade armor for. Is this going to be more like Omen or Dyna D? Perhaps the earrings only drop for the job you’re on?

My god the cor only person shaming BLU is crazy to me not gonna lie.


I'm not shaming BLU, I'm correcting hyperbolic statements.

I'm also not a COR only person, and I have no idea why you say that. COR is not even my favorite job to play in game. It's just that whenever I asked if people can invite me to their parties pretty often they are like "Afa COR please", so I'm forced to play it quite often in groups.

But I guess I'm not allowed to discuss BLU only because of that then.

So then discuss!!! What gear you like and think is good simple ignore they topic and get us back on track. I still sam got off nice tbh which is what I expected. Drk needed stp but they gave it to monk rng gear isn't really much sch is the new blm.

SAM body is ridiculously good. SAM overall made out really well I feel.

That DRK earring is also really nice. Many of the earrings are underwhelming but a few are interesting.

DNC earring in particular I’d like to see some math on versus other options. SC Bonus + PDL could make it a really nice piece for closing a non-clim rudra. Only say non-clim because your damage is gonna be so high with climactic that you probably don’t need the SC bonus to make 99k darkness.

I knew the sam body was gonna be amazing it was still semi amazing at +1 Sam for sure overall is amazing. Glad I got rid of Ken+1 early not gonna lie.

All 9% PDL earrings are completely OP and destroys all other current options (beside moonshade for some WS at low TP). It's not even close and that's before augments. Ofc you need to be attack capped.

Yes I understand that but that's the drawback you gotta be attack capped which for jobs like drk ain't much in high-end stuff without lot of help. Which depends on select things I know.
