Questions for endgame BLUs
It didn't seem like it when I was looking at it.

I would recommend getting the entire +2 set if you're ever bored and looking for something to do, as it will be upgraded to 119(+?!?) down the line.
I still use Mavi Tayt +2 (Breaking 500 Skill on Occultation and a few other spells) and Mavi Basmak +2 for Burst Affinity (Only when I'm cleaving)
I don't use the Body anymore because of lack of room, I have Hagondes as a Nuking/PDT peice instead of Mavi, I idle in Assim+1 body though, I'm not sure if Hagondes is better counting the PDT versus all the added Def /shrug.

I can't remember the last time I cast occultation.

It has situational uses still. I always carry my AF3+2 body around for the spellcasting time - on my buff type spells that I use or any long cast spell really.

For my purposes at the moment they aren't super high priority. also, I'm not saying they're worthless, just that if people are tping in them I could see that as a reason why people on my server would think blu is bad.
Hands and Body are both extremely useful and are unlikely to be replaced any time soon (if ever). Legs for Efflux. Other two pieces aren't worth the time until they upgrade to 119.

"Any time soon" probably not.. whenever SE decides to lets us update Empy gear to 109-119, yea Replacing something with itself doesn't really count
Parts of the set are definitely on my list. I want to get into a Thaumas coat first though.
Problem most people have is that there are SO many people who say "I have BLU" and are absolutely crap at it. BLU is one of the hardest jobs to play in FFXI due to it having elements from all the skill area's. Your DD elements require you to be familiar with the damage formula and know how to min/max each ability and adapt to each situation. Know when to deploy support functions, when not to and how to customize your spell load out for that particular event. Most people who play MNK just look at what another MNK is doing and copy it, that is the extent of their efforts and it produces a serviceable DD. If a player does that on BLU they'll fail horribly as evidenced by all the horrible BLU's you see running around the server.
That all being said, once you get a reputation for knowing your sh!t, people will be far more open to bringing you along. BLU brings a ton of utility without sacrificing much DPS. There is a whole host of offensive, defensive and utility abilities that a BLU can deploy in a fight to make everyone else's job easier. It requires having in-depth knowledge of the game and good judgement, so it's not something I recommend people take up without first having experience in other jobs.
