Minuet is not good for BLU. They get no benefit to any of their blue magic from +ATK...

Is that confirmed yet, or is everyone repeating the statement of one guy who tested at level 30 on tiny mandragoras? Of course you can't see an effect of +attack if you're at the cap even without your +attack gear... you could just as easily "prove" that it doesn't affect MNK that way.

It's possible that attack may not affect blue magic (although I'd like to see some solid evidence, since it's such a departure from other game mechanics and the very same attacks definitely *are* affected by attack/defense when used by monsters), but that doesn't mean it doesn't affect blue *mages* - they do still melee for damage, and use physical weaponskills, and possibly SATA.


In any case, the main issue is how to keep Ballad on them during a fight, since they go through so much more MP than a PLD or DRK. They can disengage and run back to mages to catch a mid-fight ballad, but it costs them some damage and TP, so it's better to avoid making them do that, if you can.
