Onward to Patch 1.19

[Reika]

No nukes are useless because they are woefully under powered in the traditional FF sense. Look at the 'ancient magics' like Flare. . .LOL. I'm sorry that some Conjurers feel like SE personally killed grandma, but we needed a better more defined healer class. Just like we need a better more defined nuking class (with actual effective nukes). Some players take it way to personally especially considering that 1) THM and CON were the most ambiguously defined classes in the game 2) HURRR 1.19 and 1.20 will continue to introduce more adjustments which will probably further define CON and THM.

Well that too lol. I dont know how they are going to fix Conj and thaum unless they move spells from one to the other. Giving conj ALL the aoe heals, ALL the highest revives, ALL the elemental nukes (even tho theyre weaksause), ALL the ailment cures, and ALL the main defensive buffs.... they need to triple conj's MP pool!

The only thing i see happening is Thaum cross classing all but the conj-specifics so conj can heal and thaum can nuke. However as the OP mentioned, some Conj dont want to be bottlenecked as a healer. It is pretty unfair to them for them to do the spells like this.

Hell, at least you're wanted for parties.

If your class doesn't start with the letters, G, A, or C, you're not getting a party.

Something many were afraid would happen. It happened alot early on in FFXI. Dark Knights especially had no place in parties...

If you have enough healers, why not let someone come as a nuker? If you don't have enough healers, why take a nuker/DD instead?

Because now, if you've been to the R50 Dungeon, people want MOAR conjs. MOAR AND MOAR. if you don't have at least 3 conj you have a bad party! Now you can only have 8 players in, 3 or more spots are taken by conj because of theyre do-too-much setup. Now who do we have to leave out? FFXI all over again, except with 2 extra party slots.
