Jobs and Class, I am nervous now.

[Mintie]

I believe you are doing as they say, "Overthinking it".

As the others before me have said, wait for the launch and then discuss it.

[NoctisUmbra]

Quelling Strike I agree with, but if you can only choose from the two classes you are required to have, what good is it?

Sleep, yeah he used back to back, but as Black Mage he would have had to sleeps available to use.

And let's say the video is the final product, what then? Cause I don't know what I am gonna do if it is. I hope it is just a test video.

You can see and match what flare/freeze will do in the Jobs/Classes Action list reform.

You don't chose from two classes. You are one class, but specialized. Cross class is limited, but not known how. No jumping to conclusions.

He has 1 Sleep, even as BLM. The other is Sleepga. Let alone the fact that the casting icon was Sleep in both cases, it didn't go into cooldown on either use. Far more interesting to me than how Burst has comparable damage for half the MP cost to Thundaga when BLM is at 800 HP.

In the end, we still know next to nothing about the specifics of jobs, and they ain't gonna change by Friday - so we wait and see.

The video however doesn't show it.

The video wasn't meant to show it. For all we know the BLM's INT and MATK could have be reduced greatly, reducing damage to show off everything instead of killing the mobs with one Thunder (I doubt BLM will be that powerful, but hopefully you get my point).

I will seriously shut up about it, and ask for your forgiveness if I am wrong about it. But how radically different can the video be in 4 days from the patch?

If I get proven wrong, and the mp cost is lowered, damage is vastly improved from Black Mage I will be ok with that. The video however doesn't show it.

MP lowered?

Damage overall increased?

Neither of those need to happen.

Ok I'll settle down, just answer this, what if I am right. If you guys are right and I have overthought this I will apologize.

Just what if I am right?

[Valmonte]

How about.. we wait till we play the patch.. before discussing something we haven't even touched yet? :/

that's like saying lets wait until we build the house to measure it...

preparing, planing and expected outcome should always come before any action is taken.

If neither need to happen then what does Black Mage bring to the table that Thaumturge can do better since it's not cross-class restricted?

And you think SE isn't doing this? lol

not trying to make up rumors, but they have been known to weaken classes before. you could be comparing black mage damage to what you do now on thm, but after the patch thm may get weaker as far as we know.

You win a Cookie if your right? Anyways, That video was probably was to show what it was ment to show How spellcasting was Changed, via Movement= Canceling of Spell everything else was probably Dumbed down a bit to not show off what the move itself is capable of.
