If you leveled Conjurer expecting to be a black mage type character.. Can you swap?

[Betelgeuzah]

Yes I do.
I hate THM to the point where I'd never go past R20, and it took me months to get it to 20 because I hate this class so much. I hate the skills, I hate the AoE cone, I hate the entire lore behind it..I don't want to be forced to play a class I hate that much, just for my elemental nukes to do some dmg.

Considering only lore is set to stay the way it is (and even that's just a guess) I don't see what the issue is.

Either way I don't think they should care what someone who has irrational hatred for a class would think.

You sound like a 5-year-old talking to his mommy. "I just don't wanna baaawww hawww"

If it is indeed true that lore is set to stay the same, which I don't recall reading a confirmation of, that makes this decision even worse. PS3 players are going to flay SE.

Also, your attitude really stinks. So they don't like the class. Big deal. Lots of people don't like stuff. Doesn't give you the right to insult them for it. I bet there is plenty of things you don't like. Being nice, for example.

That's right, it seems to be such a huge deal for them that they suddenly hate anything and everything to do with the subject.

Kinda like when we were kids and didn't want to do something.

His / her point is sorta valid. Yes, we shouldn't *need* to level a class we do NOT like to play at all just because there's some skill(s) that heavily impact our "main" class. The point of playing a game is having fun; leveling a class you don't like is not fun. This is far from being irrational, it is actually a pretty valid reason for not wanting to level a class. I hate melee characters in RPGs, my melee classes are low level. I only plan to start leveling them because it's far easier to level a class now.

THAT SAID

FFXIV has been advertised since forever as a game that not only allows us to play multiple classes on the same character, but that encourages us to do so. Playing such game and expecting to not have to level other classes at all is simply naive.

I never understood the debate. It's always been obvious to me that CON would have WHM and THM would have BLM. I mean, come on...

Not sure if anyone has pointed this out yet but, for those who are shocked by this announcement... you shouldn't be honestly. Info taken from http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/#/game...rysystem/magic

Thaumaturge
Death is Only the Beginning

In the hands of a skilled practitioner, thaumaturgy can be a force of terrifying destruction. At the heart of this school of magic lies the ability to call forth and command the latent aether within oneself through deep introspection.


Conjurer
In One’s Element

Conjury calls upon elemental forces present in nature and concentrates them to a potency at which spells can be weaved. Through practiced meditation on the essences of creation, conjurers draw forth and absorb aether from their immediate surroundings.

Yes I do.

And while I love to be a healer and usually play as a healer in parties, I don't want to be reduced to JUST that.

I hate magic, but my Conjurer is at 32. Explain that =)
Sooner or later you'll level it up, because you'll run out of things to do anyway, so either you stick to End-game content with your future 50, level up the remaining or create another character.

I never got this debate. CNJ and THM are classes, written with a completely different lore than WHM and BLM without any forethought of WHM or BLM making a appearance in FFXIV. The fans bitched, Yoshi-P scrambled, and we have this twisting of the lore to bring WHM and BLM in game. F*** the class lore. That's what SE thinks so you might as well get on board.

That being said, it was clear that CNJ was headed toward the WHM path when they gave it AOE cures only. That's was your "here's your sign" moment.

[Rubicon]

Wha? CNJ can actually deal dmg? Since when? O_o I do Toto runs all the time as CNJ and always try to Nuke stuff (Yes, I used all my buffs {Profundity etc. . .} and things before hand I even made sure that Banish stuck so that Fire, Aero, and Thunder spells could become more powerful even if only a tiny bit)
