Going to have to agree with you there, mr. troll.

Roll nailed it pretty well above. This is all part of a long-term plan, and we're effectively in beta right now. Yoshida's already said that he's going to have new mage classes ingame 'sooner than you might think', so I'm not expecting enfeebles to be gone forever.

That said, if it really bugs you enough then vote with your money come 1.20. I don't really see it as a big deal and I'm pretty glad they've stripped all of the classes down with good solid direction. BLM is a nuker, he foregos the ability to cure and do other things to extend his damage potential. Come 1.21 the guys using BLM wouldn't have access to enfeebs anyway without devaluing the potential of other future classes etc.

I'm glad they're doing it this way with future classes in mind, frankly I didn't enjoy XI's system of loads of classes with overlapping skills.
