Caster Raise Situation

[Dreadlime]

Scholar needs ressurection when down-syncing for low level dungeons, which is reasonably why it's tied to arcanist and not a level 30 ability. Summoner rezzing is a useful side effect. Verraise just makes sense based on what red mage is and spell lists the class has had in other FF games. If anything it might do to just ditch the utility tax and give picto and black mage their own rezzes. Perhaps black mage could rezz people by briefly turning them into frogs...

They could easily make ress a job stone ability that's lower than lvl 30 so it stays exclusive to scholar when synched down.

Another reason why the evolved mode split should've been like "raid mode" and "fun mode". Let raiders inflict their crappy homogenized DPS brained design on themselves and not ruin the game for 80% of the players.

There is some evidence that they're at least looking at role actions, since they merged Interject and Low Blow on tanks in evolved mode. If they wanted to they could make it a caster/healer role action.

I want to see a move towards Raise having a built in instant cast + cooldown and having a fixed number of uses (which is fight/difficulty dependent). If the number of raises you have access to per fight is standardized, then jobs that have access to Raise don't need to have a damage penalty attached.

Or they could just have it on Arcanist. A much more immediate solution. Occam's Razor and all that...

It sure was raiders that complained that WHM is too hard.

I'm gonna be real man, I don't think it was anyone. I think CBU13 gets it in their head that making certain changes is going to attract more people and they make them regardless. The problem being that once said changes go through then no matter how unpopular they are, they'll refuse to change them back.

I think people care too much that RDM and SMN have a raise like its really not a big deal if some groups drag their feet during some fights.

And even then, it's been shown that every time they make a job change it was always because "in our testing, XYZ job was underperforming in newest hardcore fight" and never "in our testing XYZ, job was underperforming in newest MSQ solo duty" so I never understood why anyone ever blamed casuals for jobs being "dumbed down". Not that it's the fault of hardcore players either, given that they're never ASKED if the job is doing badly all of a sudden, but rather Square-Enix runs whatever metric or model they have and comes to the conclusion on their own and then EVERYONE has to deal with it.

I think you don't understand that I just enjoy having the ability to carry the raid in normal content, have a job who's role it is to see more of a fight for prog, and... I don't know... A job that has it as it's "thing" (becides duelcasting).
