Fix Mages

Patch 1.20 ruined being a mage.
All the fun spells got taken away and now playing a mage is boring, no more enfeebles or ancient magic just lame combos. The spells take way too much mp and makes soling difficult. If you don't plan on adding lots more spells to whm/blm job then I for one will not be paying for this game anymore.

Great, now I have to clean the Soda on my screen. . .
But no, how is soloing that hard? Maybe for CNJ yeah but, Thm is probably the easiest class to solo for me.
Also, we didn't use more than half the spells anyway. And they are adding AM back. WHM is getting Holy too. Fromwhat I understand, it consumes all your MP but, you could use it like this: @1mp Chainspell-> Holy -> Holy. . . if that is not awesome to you then, I dont't know what to tell you. . .

I personally like what they did to the mages. We were too all powerful before. You just need to relearn how to play it and you will see its not that bad. As for enfeebs and what not that is coming with arcanist most likely so we will get them back. As Bowen said we barely used what we had so its ok.

Forgot to mention that we DO have enfeebs. They are just attached to our attacking spells.

Indeed, I too was a little skeptical about the OP.

If anything, id say the mages are a bit overpowered right now. But I'm not complaining ;)

I agree mages are way too boring to play atm...actually the entire game is. I believe the last time i really had fun with battle in this game was when i rushed leves to get pgl 50 before 1.18. Those were some good times! ^^

Really? I personally think mages are much more fun to play now than they were before 1.20. Drastically better in fact.

It's up to everyone liking or not. I miss having situational actions, buffs/debuffs, WSs and, mainly, freedom to play the way i want.

Right now is AoE spam if there are more than 1 target or combo if there's just one...i didn't like this at all. I'm not talking about performance and stuff...just talking about the fun i have playing....like before if i get silenced i'd beat the hell out of mob with my scepter...not a problem at all...nowadays if i get silenced i need to run away from monster and wait it wear off....i don't find this fun.

But it's the thing...taste is like @ss...everyone has their own. =P IMO tactics and hack & slash games are cool...but some ppl just hate these kinds of game.

I dislike what they did to the mages as well.
I'm okay with the removal of most of the spells.
I'm thrilled with the combos.
I hate what they did with the conjurer's spells. Thaumaturges get thaumaturgy spells, Conjurers get conjury spells, etc. Would it have been so difficult to just give Thaumaturge Banish -> Banisha (?) -> Banishga spells and combos like that? They could have done that with Scourge and some other spells. I mean, would you guys be okay with it if they gave Gladiator more axe skills than Marauder? But now it just doesn't make any sense to me and because it doesn't make any sense I have quit. I loved conjurer but now its just meh. I also don't expect jobs to fix a thing about that. I mean, unless they make it so if, for example, you pick WHM then you lose all CNJ and get some light spells. And if you pick BLM you lose THM spells and get elemental spells. This game was always difficult to play for me, but I had fun as CNJ. I'm also not some lore nerd, but I really like it when classes are unique. Now CNJ is anything but unique.

Quite the number of false accusations and incorrect observations in there. Also a general lack of information. I suppose you can't expect everyone to keep up with lodestone and forum updates.


That being said, you did say this game has always been difficult for you so I suppose it is only best that you leave. Take care.

I really like what they did to our spells i just wished spells like "cure" was more low learned

The changes for mages are really cool for me but.... where are the elementals based on water (lol)?

You learn Cure at level 2! How much lower do you want it?
