Thaumaturge Getting Hosed on raise ?

[Zahak]

They will please Thm's soon

Is it just me, or does it appear we are getting the short end of the stick?

It sounds to me like some THMs have an overinflated sense of entitlement as a result of their class being overpowered for the past several months. All of a sudden you're going to have to share the stage with CONs, since they won't be entirely useless anymore. I guess if you're in a group that structured itself around the class imbalances I can see why you'd be alarmed by this. CON needed something to justify its place in a party, and now it has it. I guess you'll have to settle for your debuffs, DoTs, nukes, cure+regen, siphons, buffing via absorbs, and broken emulate tanking. Shucks.

I am under the impression "emulate" is the only ability you mentioned that sets THMs apart. You quote me to make your unintelligent sarcasm at, yet my sig clearly shows me at a level previous to aquiring that ability.

So how does your list make THMS special, debuffs? Burn, choke, drown, frost, rasp, shock all debuff.

DoTs, wait, you have 2 in one spells, Burn, choke, drown, frost, rasp, and shock that do that too.

Nukes.....seriously? You wanna compare those ? Siphons have minimul, limited uses.

Buffing through absorbs, which have a high miss ratio, compared to stoneskinn/protect/shell, which never ever miss, and hit the entire group.......

That just leaves emulate as the only thing that shows us any great favor over CON, who themselves get one of the most usefull spells as well, "sleep". Shoke spike stuns, our damage shield does not. Chainspell has infinite uses, as does roaming soul. All the debuff removal spells, such as paralyna, piosona, silena.

Purge is an increadibly powerfull debuff when used right. And cure, which unlike THMs sacrafice, doesn't have restriction, like HP.

This is childish.

Character
Coglin Ohmsford
World
Besaid
Main Class
THM Rank 49

Emulate is at 40. 40 is a number that is lower than 49.

And cure, which unlike THMs sacrafice, doesn't have restriction, like HP.

Sacrifice:

- Has immensely wider AOE range than CON
- Always hits yourself so the HP cost is meaningless unless you're taking damage, which you shouldn't be anyway in a party (CONs have to stand on top of people for their cure to hit themselves)
- Adds a >100HP/tick regen that adds up to over 1000 more HP over time (while inexplicably costing slightly LESS MP than Cure)

I can reply to more if it's really necessary, but it's not worth making a wall of text to reply to someone who's trying to lie about something ridiculous like their rank when it's right next to their post.

I can't wait until the CON solo videos come out because they have Raise II and Rebirth.

Well...i hope this is a joke...because raise2 helping with solo just makes no sense to me ^^:::::::::::

So now that we established that 90%of your arguement was garbage, its down to the nuts and bolt, and its sacrafice and emulate that make THM unworthy of being able to have expanded resserction even though they are the scholars of the lines between life and death?

Childish........well childish is going on thinking that emulate won't be getting the nerf bat soon.

AoE range has no value in the arguement, take that up with the devs, they designated the AoEs and there radius'.

So that just leaves, sacrafice , which you illogically feel deems THMs unworthy of raise....

And i never lied genius, I never said I was any particular level, I simply mentioned what my sig said.

[Catapult]

We don't even know what is being nerfed in the upcoming patch yet. Maybe Conj Aoe size is changing? No idea atm.

Reconvene in a week?

Its fair enough. CON is the base for all color mages...it is expected from them to master both healing and elemental damage roles.

For THM, instead, i'd expect more "dark magic", "divine magic" and "enfeebling magic" (sorry for using FFXI terms) and for CON "elemental magic", "healing magic" and "enhancing magic". So i'd rather see THM becoming Sage, Scholar or even Dark Knight instead of a color mage.

I don't think that's entirely the case.

Two pieces of information we've received from the Devs suggest otherwise. Those being that Black Mage and White Mage were confirmed as advanced classes, and that initially there will only be one released advanced class for each current job.

With the addition of these new resurrection spells, Conjurer has likely secured it's spot as the advanced path for White Mage. That pretty much leaves Black Mage to the Thaumaturge.
