Shocked at the reduction in mage damage, quadruple mp cost, and lowered resources

[LuxLex]

the ability to fill multiple roles in the party is what people liked about the mage classes. if you needed a debuffer either could do it. if you needed a nuker either could do it. if you needed a buffer healer either could do it. now no matter what role you need filled a con with the thm affinity trait and thm decently leveled is by far the better choice. why? because if you get stuck in the battle and the other mage needs to recover mp they can fall into that role for a short time frame.

Thank you. For all of your posts, really. I've been in full rage mode over these changes. It is insane to see people saying

Con= healer, buffer, nuker
Thm= debuffer (maybe nuker?)

is balanced. Like, on what planet?

the bad thing is you can't even say that thm is the nuker since those abilities can be cross classed easily to a con and be just as effective using the thm affinity trait. why would anyone want a thm that is only effective on dot's when a con can do it just as well and still perform other jobs inside of the party if needed.

my job before the update was to debuff and nuke when i did play thm. there were times i would have to step over to heal due to a con dying for any reason. since the thm can no longer be used in that aspect people will replace that thm that was in the party with another con since they can fill that role and take the thm abilities.
