Request: Ability to re-assign class levels after 1.20

[Alerith]

In the same sense and to the extent that I could also equip it on my ARC, sure.

Exactly. Archer isn't a healing class. Neither will Thaumaturge. Why should you have a native healing spell if your class isn't meant to be a healer?

...except that THM has native healing ability now, and has since the game was released. That native healing ability is scheduled to be removed.

A lot of jobs are losing a lot of skills. Should a CNJ rage that they are losing shield skills and demand that they have native shield skills despite that not being the focus of their job?

Prior to 1.18, there was no one "healing class"; both CNJ and THM were originally designed to capably main heal. Given that THM has been the superior healer for the majority of this game's existence, I don't think it's unreasonable to have expected native healing ability from it.

This update is essentially equivalent to removing cure spells from RDM.

We are no longer "Prior to Patch 1.18". The days of AoE Sacrifice II are long gone and that's not at all heartbreaking. The game is balancing out. And is CNJ not more superior because it's casting arc was Radial and not Cone? Especially considering buffs and the nature of parties these days.

Also, it's not like removing cure spells from a RDM. A RDM isn't a designated nuking class. THM is. RDM is a fusion of cures and nukes. Such a class will not exist at the time of 1.20, unless you intend to give your THM said cross class skills.
