[viion]

Wait and see, then comment ?

Why publish the information and ask for feedback if we are supposed to "Wait and See" ?

It looks like whm is getting bendiction (WHM Abl. 2)or something close to it, so thats whm "oh shit we guna dieeeee !!!"

WHM mag.3 is "oh shit we really guna diieee" ..... this time !!

hmm, they don't have ninja, and I guess they needed someone to portray the fanatical suicide bomber role. Looks like whm is our tactical nuke.

Lol just had the thought of a WHM fighting ifrit exploding randomly in a huge holy explosion and losing all of his/her MP and causing a wipe.

No.

anyway, im starting to wonder who will out damage who.

i dont see any sign of BLM being the greater nuker since there isnt any "increase magic damage" abilities.

also, WHM has access to nukes, non gimped heals, non gimped buffs ( SS and PROT) and an ultimate attack, which BLM only has a few basic nukes, wouldnt WHM be the all around desired mage class since it can do everything now leaving BLM virtually useless (in comparison)?

THM/BLM looks like it can combo Fire spells to cast significantly quicker so the damage adds up. The Thunder line looks like it focuses on magic crits which is also a significant boost to damage. I do think THM gets more INT than CNJ does too.

Edit: Also BLM gets a Thunder spell that finishes a combo and does more damage at lower HP. So you can abuse Convert's leaving you with Low HP

abuse converts? are you assuming convert wont be on a 30 min cool down? even if it were a 10 min cool down i wouldnt exactly call it the ability to abuse lol

Hey if you avoid AOE/don't take hate you can keep your HP as low as you want =P I think convert might be on maybe a 5 minute timer, it depends on how fast BLM goes through its MP.

People already did it in 11 for the sorcerer's ring, although that was 75% hp or less that triggered it.

Keep in mind we haven't even seen any of the TRAITS yet.

I actually think that refers to the targets HP not yours.
