...Why? This just tells me you have no idea what you're doing. But I already knew that.



Of course the downtime is longer than before the patch. Did you even play THM before the patch? All you did was debuff occasionally and throw out cures/stoneskins. I spend more time doing stuff on THM now than I ever did on THM before. I never ran out of MP on THM, because there was never anything to really do that required it. I could do a million things on THM before and none of them would matter (capped DoTs, capped landing rate, crappy offensive spells, inferior healing ability...)



How much experience do you have as a level 50 THM? None? I thought not.

To confuse slower with slow is a mistake. 90 miles per second is slower than 100 miles per second, but neither one is slow. Your experience with your level whatever THM isn't indicative of higher level play.



I play PGL, MRD, GLA and ARC as well. I know the difference. THM is burst damage, not DPS, but you know the difference between a THM that paces himself to a THM that doesn't?

It's 10000 damage compared to 40000. It's 3000 damage compared to 9000 damage. A THM that doesn't know what he's doing can only do so little damage over so long a period compared to one that does.



Once more showing how little you really know. THM already has a high probability of dying. THM already has to manage hate as well as MP. Being "leet" with your skills brings everything you want to the table already, it's just the more "leet" you are the less trouble you have managing your MP and pacing yourself.

THM is already a glass cannon. If all you want is white noise and button presses to keep your attention like a child pining after the shiny shiny, then play a melee job.

Again, you complain about a job you don't truly understand at a level where you are incapable of understanding it. To me, it sounds like THM isn't the job for you. By extension, I doubt anyone who couldn't handle THM would have a much easier time on BLM.
i already do pace myself and it is slow. you cant argue that.
the reason why it is slower than before isnt because i was spamming spells like debuffs, its because of the lack of stygian spikes and drain MP. with those two i was able to keep MP up all the time allowing me to nuke all the time.

i do pace myself and i still run out of MP. i use my parsimony on my higher spells and only use my higher spells at certain intervals.
you go do a leve and try to chain two groups of 3 Dodos 3 levels higher than you. tell me what you get.
