Just what the Title says. Before 1.18 i would have thought CON as it has thunder and all elemental spells. But after 1.18 CON got the rasies and AOE cure spells. Im pretty sure that CON is going to be WHM and THM is BLM. what about you?
Who do you think will get the Black mage job? CON or THM

In the future each Class will have more than 1 job. Con might be WHM and THM something else like RDM. Nothing about THM speaks BLM to me other than 2 elements..

True but they said WHM and BLM are jobs that are coming first. and as of the first jobs appearing into the game each class has 1 job.
So one mage has to be a WHM and the other has to be a BLM -
08-30-2011, 02:03 AMereskigalthis and SE always say one thing and do anther (lvl 75 will be final cap for XI, look now). I see con being WHM and BLM and THM rdm or time mage.Quote:

I think they're both very poorly suited to exclusively receive BLM without some major changes to the spells they can cast.
A class that gets Flare not leading to BLM is stupid, but it would be just as stupid to give it to the one that has lower damage output and all the best curative spells. The problem is compounded by conjurers worshiping the elementals in the Twelveswood and thus needing access to elemental magic for lore purposes. I know people with the classes already leveled would rage, but I think they should pretty much rebuild the class spell lists completely before they make either one lead to BLM or WHM.
I think the best solution would actually be to give cure spells over to THM, since lore-wise they deal with life and death, make it the class that leads to WHM, buff CON damage and make it the one that gets BLM. Basically reverse what they did with 1.18. I personally didn't raise up THM to heal myself, so it would be a personal setback, but one I think would be best for the game and keeping with lore.
Edit: I suppose I would also accept CON leading to both WHM and BLM but severely restricting spell usage, but the comment from the developers about one job for each existing class has me doubting they'll do this. -

I don't know, but I find it very difficult to lump Thaumaturge or Conjurer as a Black Mage. Both schools have BLM spells. If I'm going to take a crazy guess, I'm going to say you go either White or Black if you're either CON or THM.
