Combos for Blue Mage

BLU/NIN would be a sickeningly awesome combination for post 24.

As we all know, BLU is the melee Mage. They are the combat mage, pure and simple. Plus, as a funny side note, they specialize in RAPIERS! Special Rapiers for ONLY BLU have existed since the job became usable WAY BACK WHEN in the series.

Let's see.... Melee + Magic + Ninjitsu + Dual Wield = One bad *** son of a chocobo. Plus, if you think about it, for some reason, those talents are rather well balanced. Monster skills like whispering wind and a few others would make BLU/NIN the single most kick-tail mage to have in a party.... *drools* I can't wait to try out that combo...

Remember the Enemy-Skill materia on FF7? wasn't the only way to learn White Wind to control an adamantoise, or whatever gave it, and have it use the skill on you?

Alternatively, they could throw Blue Mage a curve-ball and have it learn monster abilities like Quistis did in FF8, through using items; the Blue Mage version of scrolls, y'see?

Also, just thought of something else they could do. They might have it like that and also they could be another ninja-like job in that they use up ammo to use spells instead of MP. Like with that fire breath you get a scroll to do it and then you use up something like a match every time. I'd honestly prefer the MP better but hey, they could do it.

monster skills could just be like bloodpacts where you can only use 1 every minute or something like that

rapiers are more "red mage'-ey

no... every job doesn't do better with a NIN sub... they just shift in how they are played. And in some cases, NIN sub makes very little sense.. like SMN/NIN.. (here let me unsummon ifrit and his kick arse-ness to pull out carby and heal myself because im outta potions..)

Ok so maybe not EVERY job.
