Conjurer & White Mage Abilities and Spells Feedback

I was hoping this thread would make a comeback! I tried making it myself but I'm not high enough level.

While I might say it not clearly due to text limit in above post. I might as well give more explanation.

1st: Stoneskin, is never meant for absorb damage for Tank in the past, which I believe will be also in the future. There are only few occasions you should cast stoneskin on Tank, which are
1) Before Pulling Boss / Pack of Mobs .
2) You have nothing to do, and Tank doesn't take much damage.
3) When you have enmity problems.

2nd: Stoneskin, usually cast on other, even us, WHM @lv50 hp~ 3.5k can absorb for 630 damage. and this 630 <> 0. You can take hit more 630 dmg as well as no interruption while casting spell. I won't call this 'nothing' and serves no purpose.
3rd: OK, Warrior has the biggest HP pool, esp at lv50 which hp ~5.5k - 6k. So what? PLD might not as high but stoneskin on 4k+ hp is also not 0 dmg. And PLD take much less damage from all of his defensive skill. I won't call this 'nothing' and serves no purpose also.

The problem with Stoneskin is that even at 18% Cure I does more healing than it does and is cheaper and faster to cast. The only targets that are worth using it on are classes with really high HP. Unless it changed in phase 4 I see no reason to cast it.


Another issue that CNJ has is that Aero's damage scaling makes it become less worth it to cast as you get higher level. My Stone II normal hits in phase 3 were doing as much damage as a full duration Aero. Even in phase 4 Aero was barely doing more damage than Stone.

On top of this, Thunder is even worse as it costs more MP than Stone I/II and does less damage than Stone I/II.
Since Aero, Stone I, Stone II, and Thunder are our only damage moves for most of the game, It's disappointing to see that Stone II is the only spell we'll be casting for damage.
