A Different Way to Play

you loose out however on flare and convert including a x-ether that would be 3 flare in a row just as exsample i doubt a thm can keep up with that kind of aoe dmg

A THM loses out on AoE damage from flare and somes urvivability tools that allow them to remain stationary longer. Other than that, they are losing INT from crystal. In the end, THM only does slightly less damage than BLM, but it's still not going to provide any unique benefits and lose out on some versitility even.

Come the expansion, it will almost certainly be non-viable; all the new skills are being given through questing, and that questing is 99.9999% likely going to require your crystal. MRD will similarly be useless due to the war dps stance

Also, I would like to know where you are using classes. 4 man dungeons, trials, ex trials, coil? Makes a difference
