MAGE STRIKE

[Neptune]

You do know THM has been the better nuker since forever right?

The thing is I like the idea of casting offensive elemental magic. That's what I like about this particular videogame.. is it too much to ask for the classic Black Mage who casts offensive magic like Blizzard and Thunder? Is THM a better damage dealer by design or because of broken Ancient Magic spells? Have you thought about it?

Why do I want to nuke if parties aren't looking for nukers? Another great question. Why aren't parties looking for nukers? Could it be because of how broken the game mechanics are? Is it too much to ask for a dev team to get it right so that typical expectations set by the Final Fantasy series can hold true in this game?

You hit the nail on the head here. It isn't too much to ask for classes to be balanced so that nuking is as desirable as any other role.

yeah for changes ^^

I think we should have Neptune as the new developer in charge of magic use in FFXIV... all in favor?

[Solfleur]

Wasn't really trying to be condescending. Sorry if my bluntness came off that way.
I'm just sugesting that you want to be a nuke, switch to the class that nukes.
If you're upset over the fact that parties don't want nukes for dungeons, then why do you want to nuke anyway?

Ahem... Neptune is well able to handle this, but allow me to point out what he has too much class to spell out FOR you. You CAN'T condescend to Neptune. Check the the relative ranks, dude...not to mention over-all quality of posts, knowledge of game and incisive intellect. I don't think you need worry about anyone thinking you're condescending to anyone, but we all have dreams, and far be it from me to disrupt yours, cupcake. May they all be sweet as can be. ^^ Sign me a fellow mid level wanna-be who only wishes to be as good as Neptune someday.

LOL yea Neptune sure has some quality posts (sarcasm)

We had a trifecta of jobs pre patch 1.18, gla arc and thm, post 1.18 the trifecta was now gla , arc, and conj. Not much balancing in my opinion.

Can they get someone who loves being a magic user to develop the DoM, because I feel like we've never had that before in XIV.

[Solfleur]

I don't do personal attacks, but you're an idiot.

1-2-3 ..hmmm I guess I'm 4thing that motion. What a dolt. Seriously. Could it be, perhaps, because we were TOLD it wasn't, or perhaps because we could SOLO to end-game and have now had to be nerfed into effing OBLIVION (without tm) because of the other classes' collective WHINING...I mean in the name of "balance" because all the big strong mallet heads didn't have their wimpy little healers tagging along to take care of them and make them look all glorious and stuff. How DARE we aspire to personhood or gods forfend ***gasp upon gasp*** self-sufficiency? It was just becoming way too painfully obvious that the mallet heads weren't making it in the game without forcing one class of magic user into slavery, and the CONs, being superior, were chosen...then nerfed into compliance. Well to take a phrase from my parents' days..."hell no, I won't go." ((forgive the uh...pulp fictionesque word count here...))

Apparently when players asked for "Final fantasy flavour in class names" The dev team took that to mean instead of actual NAME CHANGES in the future, took it as "Conjurer? You mean white mage."

Those who haven't witnessed this same bullshitery in XI to the extent we have are far too optimistic. Yes we are allowed more freedom with class, but that's being taken away particularly with mages. There's only 2 mage classes right now, and SE has effectively neutered one of the class's ability to main heal a party.

So think to yourself, when it comes to a party would you rather have someone who can cure a party effectively, or are you seriously looking for a nuker, more DD? The odds are stacked against Cons now. If we aren't meant to do any damage now being the one class out of what, 7? that can properly care for a party? Then they should take the elemental nukes out of conjury (Which wouldn't make sense Storywise, elementals and all that.)

Or for convenience sake to you, would you like that removed as well?
