Request: Please reconstruct Disciple of Magic, reason why ppl get sick about battle

[MagicofGaia]

I alway play as a wizard or a black mage in every MMO

but for FFXIV they're useless

offensive magic are useless, black mage can not be a DPS at all

all we can do is cure cure cure cure and buff every 5 minutes, this is not a mage I want to play

killing NMs with melee weapon, no magic attack, lack of graphic animation from magic. I don't feel any fantasy from this game.

why the dev team need that much time to figure out what's the problem, why people get boring about battle. melee classes just press 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 and mages just stand around their, watching your crew HP, heal them

we start and end the battle at the same spot, no need to move your character during the combat, I'm sick of it, feel like I'm playing a turn-base RPG, waiting my turn to press a button, stand there and wait for next turn.... WHAT?

an MMO without magic.... hmm, this is not a minor issue but it's one of the biggest issue and I never heard the dev team mention about it before

r50 Conjuror's elemental magic attack can deal 50~350 damage to the mob at the same rank or stronger than us, why? it should be more than 1000 damage for each cast! that's what people who love magic want, we have 1000~1500 less HP than another class so we should get something in return

playing as disciple of magic this way is completely not what I want to play from the beginning, all of mages in the game are healers. can kill a goat in one hit or bully another low rank mobs but... the Flare cost me 100 mp and do 50 damage to NM, this is not fair


I just want to know.... do you dev team has any plan about this issue?


ps. sorry about my bad english, it's not my first language

Also Evangela, did you not play ffxi? Although the skills are different and the regen/refresh effects are changed for resting, they play very similar in respect to stance, positioning, and routine for combat

hmm, I don't think Conjurer need to be split. just let the players choose which way they want to play by attributes allotment

You apparently did not read the post at all on the thread. Just the title and decided to comment.

I feel like Square has been afraid of magic since XI... In trying to dismantle manaburn parties, they just dismantled black magic in general. Magic should be more powerful than melee attacks because it costs MP to use. Magic is supposed to be a little "overpowered..." Don't even get me started on summoners.

With no intention of wanting to derail your thread, would you mind telling me where you got your signature character plate from? I really like that one

DoM is pretty useless, I agree. Every job can heal itself. Every job can buff itself. Every job can even use our mage armor to cast spells if they want. Why do mages get invited? So that melee jobs can mindlessly spam "1" and not really have to watch their HP or worry about buff timers. It isn't just the fact that Mages, by themselves, are useless in this game. I also blame the current armory system...any job can use (almost) any skill and any armor from any class at any level in any area at any point they want.

Oh and the guy on Figaro that solod Dodore as a THM, cheated to do so. Keep that in mind when you start thinking "How are they useless if you can solo NMs!."

The fraction nms are lols, but idk how he did buffallo.... if he did.

I think DoM is too weak, and ancient Magic??? that was a pure let down. Ruined my mage experience completely.

He did the faction Buffalo. not the Great Buffalo

How did he cheat?
