THM is the new MRD?

[syntaxlies]

This thread makes me happy.
Now I can actually nuke stuff.

speculation of course, well see in a little bit. Im betting that DD aoes were nerfed because it cut the mages out.

yea, i leveled thm during 1.18 and barely played it during 1.19 cause it was kinda useless. I wish they would do ongoing balancing instead of only doing balancing during the big patches.

They felt even more useless in 1.19 than 1.18 for me really. . . No one would invite me for party in 1.19 and soloing was. . . horrible. . .

Yup, 2/3 GLA/MRD 5/6 THM, just you wait.

Manaburns {You can have this!} I'm interested in leveling thm up now Didn't really care how mages were played pre .20

Many people are upset about the Mrd losing its super aoe abilities as it best in Sh situations. I wonder if THM will have proper strength nukes. IF so thm may be to go to for 1.20. In a few ours i guess i ill know.

Eh, I still think MRD will have the ability to be an AoE machine, from the patch notes & ability/trait adjustments it's quite clear they're going to slow down the pace of combat, but for everyone. So I don't think MRD is going to lose it's position as being an AoE melee. I -do- think THM will become better at AoE, depending on MP regeneration, but it will really shine once BLM & BRD comes into play.

Glass cannons should be able to blast stuff, but they should also have to manage threat generation, which I think may also be a factor since I assume they'll adjust the enmity algorithm for the new combat pace. But speculation, we'll know for sure in a few hours.

I for one look forward to playing mob tennis with other thm's

I kicked a lot of ass on my thm as of 1.19, you guys need a ls that will take you to stuff as a thm, or get two to three friends and start the party then shout, they can't be like "omg you're a thm get out" if you started the party!
