They already did, Bismark is like that. Well it has variable Defense / Magic Defense, the more physical damage you do the higher it's defense goes. We still zerg it down, mostly because magic damage simply can not keep up with physical damage output. SE would have to radically alter the magic casting system of FFXI for magic spells to keep up with the faucet that is buffed melees.
Doing damage is for WAR's, DRK is about soloing 75 content yo.....Originally Posted by Raelix
I think one of the Sandworm fights at 75, the King Artro one had skillchains required. Honestly though the OP hit it on the head. Outside of the few dedicated blms left no one cares. My neo nyzul group no one will lot the mage gear, no one ever picks it, it hits the floor in Salvage and Salvage II. Why waste time on a mage when you can just pimp up another DD. Why buy meteor, when it sucks for one, and that money could go to another relic. I used to be a hard core black mage and honestly I know no one personally who cares about black mage anymore. It is totally dead. Proc'ing is not a function. People take mules to proc in abyssea and in VW we always put our worst players on Black Mage. Outside of reworking haste on melee which the Producer did talk about, nothing will change. At this point reworking haste would cause such a revolt like never seen, I doubt it will be done.
