Talk:Scryes Imperial Blue Mage Guide

Volkai's Critique
Are the spells and job traits sections on this really necessary? The spells are all already described on their own Blue Magic page and listed on the Blue Mage page with links to each spell's own page (which shows where those spells can be learned and has more detailed spell information). Similarly, Blue Mage Job Traits already have their own page saying what spells you slot to get them, and the traits themselves already have their own pages. Questions two of your FAQ is answered on the main Blue Mage page, and on the Blue Magic page. Question four is self-contradictory, and probably completely unnecessary.

So far, the only thing I have seen on your guide that brings anything new to the table is the subjob section... which needs some serious revisions. It lacks coverage on both Scholar and Dancer, two superb subjobs for Blue Mage. (Short version: Scholar replaces both WHM and BLM subjobs except when you need Warp or Erase. And specifically Erase, not just -na spells, because /SCH has the -na spells.) I recommend you look at all the job's Support Job pages.

So far I have been pretty critical. I want you to understand it's not because I don't think you should make a guide. It's because I want to see a guide that brings something new to the table. Blue Mage is already burdened with more guide pages than any other job I can think of. I want to see more guides that add something new, not just the same stuff with a different name attached to it. --Volkai 14:05, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
