Conj needs to be split - WHM and BLM

I'd exhange my Conjurer's "Cure" spells for a "Black Mage" label
And Thaumaturge...i cant really decided where to place, Whm or Rdm?
Either way, now im forced to level up my THM just to make sure i have 1 BLM, wichever it will be.
o_______O?

Nothing classical about "Elementalist" at all,
scratch that stupid word & put in the real one.... BLACK MAGE !!
Elementalist...lol sounds like an electrician ffs.

Bluemage should be on that lsit aswell, same for Red Mage.

Player>> "Hey you're a conjurer, you're gonna be healer"

I wish there was a way to make people understand, I don't want to be a healer at all. I have no patience to do it. I am the totally wrong person to ask to heal. You will die if you make me one!

I is DD conjurer, I don't care if I do crap damage, I'd rather do crap damage than have someone rely on me to heal them.

Then just flat out tell them you're not a healer. Say, "Sorry, I want to DD, not heal". You don't solve the problem by ignoring it.

In FFXI, I leveled Nin. But I was completely against tanking as a nin (as it wasn't what it was designed for). I was a DD Nin. So when I got party invites, I told them "I'm not tanking".

Basically I got one of two responses:

1) No party invite, no response.
2) Why?

When they asked why, I actually explained it to them. And once they were educated, they saw the use in having Nin as DD, invited me, and we went on to find a different person to Tank.

So yes, there will be times when ignorant people will discriminate against you for not fitting their concept (by the way, this is no different than racial profiling and stereotyping). But if you educate people who are willing to listen, it goes a long way.

You shouldn't be willing to give up your right to choose (freedom) just so that you'll fit into a narrow mold made by ignorant minds.

Down with pigeon-holing jobs, down with discrimination! Hooray to choice and versatility!


EDIT: At the same time, however, you should be willing to be flexible if you don't have a lot of options available. If you are the only free Conjurer online at the moment, and you want a party, you should be willing to heal if you really want to party.

I think I am opposed to splitting CON. I wont bother writing an essay here, as most of things I would say has already been touched upon, however I will ask SE to consider making gear with stats/looks tailored more for BLM and WHM specifically. So when invited to parties, people will be able to deduce that you are a BLM or WHM build CON.

Agree split the classes, radical changes, can I have it !

Bring on the colored Mages!

Black Mage
White Mage
Red Mage
Blue Mage
Green Mage
Purple stripes & Yellow Dots Mage!
Summoner too i guess...

- and please.. skip the gay Pink mage. (make that one a wuss Bard or somethin... lol)

Why does it have to be gay? That's kind of prejudice ya know. Watch what you say buddy.

Anyways, they shouldn't split up into black mage or white mage categories.
You just get to choose which route you wanna go.. Either healing or DD or both

I also see advanced classes as using clothes to determine adv. class. Your weapon says which basic class you are, and clothing (or just piece of clothing) says which advanced class you are.

BLM clothes could boost stats that are required to be a good BLM, and WHM clothes could boost stats required by WHM. Additionaly noone would confuse DD CON with healer CON.
