What is this 2nd ability you are referring to?

since they can both use chameleon and quelling strike that is one that both class and job has.

yes, blm does have freeze on addition to those , but if they are used properly then you will not be pulling hate from either the job or the class. thm also has the extra abilities such as invigorate to build tp for second wind and rampart and sentinel for when you do have those rare oops moments. it also has the ability to give the party additional buffs when they are needed.

in dungeons in which you are running and facing multiple mobs at once, yes, i can say blm would be more needed due to the fact it has sleepaga, but in a one on one confrontation such as ifrit i have seen very little to say that blm should be used in end game content like that over a thm. to me it's more of a pick which you prefer because i haven't seen any parse results showing that one is superior to the other.

all i am saying is that one is just as viable as the other in terms of party play. when the 2 classes were parsed on back to back runs there was very little difference in the results. i am not saying that blm is bad, but more of saying that with the additional mp abilities from bard the thm is still just as viable as it was before because it can still just as easily get hate as blm does so it's not too much of a trade off.

BLM has: Freeze, Chameleon, Quelling Strike

THM has: Chameleon, Quelling Strike

Am I missing one for THM? Seriously asking, my memory isn't too good.

nah i updated my post to explain. i look at freeze as a good or bad thing. it states it reduces enmity, but it was funny that i pulled hate from our tank last night using it. it could have been the dot from flare pushed me over the limit before freeze landed, but soon as it hit the mob turned and went to me. i will need to check it more to know which was the case on that so i updated each skill and what i meant by the abilities each of them have.
