So Albio,I have to ask, how it is "clearly" anything?

Thats the number one problem with conj perception in game and in the forums. Every poster with a bad attitude takes every thing in XI to have the same definition in XIV. BLM is the DD mage, not the elemental mage. SE isn't wrong my friend....YOU are. In XI they cast elemental nukes, in XIV they cast DoTs and debuffing astral/umbral spells.

Problem number 2.....The inability to differinciate between the old dev team and the new dev team. SE doesn't hate mages, nor did they screw them up. The original dev team did. The new one is trying to differenciate and fix the 2.

What these two issues boil down too is that every FOOL who ASSUMED which would be which, no blames SE and the dev team, because they are not mature enough to accept the blame on themselves for making the INCORRECT ASSUPTION.
