A Beginner’s Guide To Blue Mage | FFXIV Job Overview

One of the strongest jobs in the history of Final Fantasy is the blue mage, and this is a truth that remains true in Final Fantasy 14. However, it also tends to be one of the harder jobs to pick up for new player and so here is everything you need to know to help in the process of learning the Azure Caster.

Watch your guide before started BLU in end of April and beginning of May 2024, I really love this class / job, thank you for the amazing guides 💙
Hope to see interesting things in Dawn Trail and for BLU in End walker (Lvl 90).

[@TheNastyNamazu]

Glad to help.
Personally I'm curious if they're going to do something special with blue in Dawntrail since we are going to the place they originate.

[@Freej3]

@@TheNastyNamazu interesting topic and I will wait and see what surprises Dawn Trail holds for everything (content) 🙌🏻

[@DavidSantos-ix1hu]

Blue mage is my go to class i love it and used it in the previous mmorpg

[@whathitwonder4037]

Okay, I'll do it tomorrow.

[@Scott-wc6mp]

Iirc, basic instinct also works if everyone else dies xD you don't necessarily have to solo queue

[@BelisariusCawl]

BLUE POG

[@KingEatable]

i started playing a few days ago with my friends who are also in your company! id like to join too!
your dark night video helped me a ton!

[@YueXiong93]

I want to eventually master blue mage, but first msq

[@honkedoffjohn]

the only thing i dont agree with is the use of tank mimicry for treasure dungeons. You will lose al your MP to Healing Wind when a boss summons the swarm. Healer with Gobskin and Pom Cure can out heal the swarming adds and you survive tank busters with Gobskin.

[@TheNastyNamazu]

If your doing shadowbringers maps then all boss adds, except the mandragora, can be ultravibrated making them a non issue. Even then using a buffed Breath of Magic will kill them before they become an issue.

[@postal_worker]

BLU mage is the best of all the _ Mages, no contest

[@NekoRenoChan]

I must know where to get the Blue Mage umbrella... TO THE INTERNET!

[@TheNastyNamazu]

Its from the stage 32 secret achievement, and fun fact you can actually get special effect for it you complete the most recent criterion savage

[@specialzeroH8]

thanks very much for the vid. aside from playing ff12, i haven't touched ff14 at all until recently and considerd what magic class i wanted to go for.

[@somethingfizzy]

This is a great video but my god the clicking every time the footage cuts is driving me insane...

[@ramvicious8057]

2 notes. The transition sound is annoying af and also you don't show where the mobs are located at in SHB.

[@IaconDawnshire]

I still prefer XI BLU over XIV BLU

[@madambutterfly1997]

I wish it was a full job instead of a limited job. And the idea that it would be too broken if it was a full job is BS. They just complain about having to reshape the met not like they already do that every fucking expansion and patch.

[@ShermTank7272]

BLU has a crazy damage output, it would absolutely break the meta. 8 Final Stings, 8 Nightblooms, and Breath of Magic + Mortal Flame are a crazy amount of damage output over the course of a fight, to say nothing of the plethora of other BLU abilities. Say what you will about the finer details, as a whole the current lineup of jobs is fairly well-balanced. Sure, some party comps are more "optimal" than others, but the fact that all content _can_ be cleared if you follow the recommended role setup in the duty description (2 tanks, 1 pure healer, 1 shield healer, 1 melee/ranged/magic dps, 1 other dps, no duplicate jobs) goes to show that the game as a whole does well on job balance.
And even when not considering high-end content, they trivialize most casual content. If a sprout going through MSQ for the first time was matched with a BLU in duty finder, the dungeon or trial would go by extremely quickly and likely be somewhat unsatisfying. I for one would have been extremely confused why trash fights and even bosses were folding like paper back when I was a sprout.
That said, I do think that there should be some form of "limited duty finder" or "limited job duty roulette" to match with other BLUs, especially after Beastmaster releases in Dawntrail. It can sometimes feel very isolated as a BLU, especially if you don't play on a popular server or at peak times.
