Yeah, the Way of the Blue covenant doesn't seem that strong. Sure, it's for players who need help from invaders, but usually you don't get invaded until you reach NG+. By then, you're skilled enough to try another covenant, with some better rewards. It's like the Way of the White, but with a bit more added effects.
