Bring back Thaumaturge Spells!

I was responding to a Dark Knight thread and it had be reminiscing about the old-school Thaumaturge and how different it was from its current incarnation. I really would like to see a class/job that had those skills again. It balanced Umbral/Astral as Dark/Light, and had some serious buffs and debuffs. It got such a seriously wierd overhaul once it became the base class for Black Mage and SE removed all of it's unique abilities. I think Dark Knight would be a good fit, but either way I think it's something that ARR is lacking.

Spell exhibition I found:

Sidenote - I forgot the absurd amount of skills/spells that Conjurer used to have. It was basically Black Mage and White Mage all by itself. It's right before THM in the video.

Also, memories of 1.0 music :-)

That's not Time Mage, that's just a new pallette swap of the alpine gear worn with one of those stupid sugarloaf hats.

I agree with the OP about seeing a return of missing abilities and spells that were removed during the class redesign in 1.0 - I miss Phalanx, Aegis Boon and Red Lotus for GLA. :(

Casting while moving? Yes, please! lol

Im sure Thurm had stoneskin when I played before the overhaul and P2P

If that was Time Mage, i'd be quite excited for it. Dont know how relevant they'd be, but that aint my job!

Not "basically", it was actively both. It conjured from all of the elements, while THM dealt with astral and umbral abilities. THM was filled with spells which have no present equivalent, like paralyze, dia, phantom dart, and so on. Anyway, 1.0's spells were a balance mess filled with redundant and useless crap. And lol punishing barbs.

I don't think it did. Conjurer always had the elements.

I could see Time Mage being THM's second job since they have time magic already. Swiftcast, Teleport (ish), a Slow ability...who knows...
