To the Complainers... GTFO, 1.18 ROCKS!

Proper Balance, really? How do cure spells cost 4-5 times more than attack spells? That doesn't even make sense. I'm all for balancing but making another class overshadow the other doesn't solve anything.

You talk about another class overshadowing another, Thaumaturge was worth about 3 conjurers before patch. Now they have their own role in the scheme of things which is to land debuffs , Back-up Heal & they got a "BUFF" not a DEBUFF to their Magic potency. HINT HINT > go do some THM damage. No more cure spam, big deal!

Gondai: We’ll continue to break up what we’re working on over a number of patches, first 1.18 and then 1.19, and so on. It’d be impossible to release everything all at once. But I hope people won’t judge us too harshly on that, saying stuff like “Is this all there is to patch 1.18?!” It might not be for us to say, but I think things are going smoother than we expected, so please wait just a bit longer.

There it is, from Mr Gondai himself. He's going to be so disappointed with you guys, so very, very disappointed.

I think they reaised MP costs so you don't have everyone in the aprty with cure II spells spamming them on eachother. Now you get a good 2-4 spells, maybe more if you have some MND, and after that, you need a healer. I LOVEEEE IT

In other MMO's you have more than one class that is capable of main healing. All this did was replace one with the other. SE leaving us in the dark has caused someone like me who wanted to main cure void. I knew a nerf was coming but come on now.

Realists expected this much and SE never said that 1.18 would be the end all be all magical golden patch either. They were very clear that changes would happen in clear iterations.

@ OP - I'm guessing you aren't a mage.

There's lots to like in 1.18.
Playing a mage isn't one of them.

I can see that, it wasnt fun pre-1.18 either who likes to spam cures and get by doing nothing else(THM) or then not being liked much due to lackl of good role(conjurer). Who likes to see another job solo stuff like dodore & the goblin family when we need full groups? nobody, i don't feel any of your pain even if im 35 THM im not bothered ,not one bit.

They didn't need to completely nerf one class to make the other viable. I was all for a them balancing out the mage classes more but this was a little over the top. TBH, changing emulate would of been much better than this.

EXHALTATION A NEW WORD THM's WILL LEARN TO USE IN THEIR VOCAB. Perhaps we will see 1 healer in unactive mode when another main heals to maintain proper healing like in FFXI. people are afraid of changes and instead of thinking HOW they will get around the new barriers they drop dead and whine or die or ragequit. Fail more.

The OP is both a scholar and a saint, and I could not have put it better. A tip of the hat to you.
