Removing elemental nukes from WHM

[Reika]

Since this thread has moved so fast I'm reposting what I said several pages back for good measure:



I think these points are solidified by the Cleric Stance ability, giving you the ability to pull out your damage spells if you really need them, or maximize your healing for when that's your primary role.

All that does is bring up yet another balance flaw.... WHM shouldn't be able abilities to increase their Attack M potency at all. That is just another ability you shouldnt be able to use when you equip the sould of the WHM. If WHM wants to do some damage, it should unequip soul of the WHM and become a CNJ to get its Attack M Potency.

Of course people would not be ok with BLM being able to heal, and having an ability called Sorcerous stance, which increases Healing M potency at the cost of attack M Potency :/. You make it seem like all this anti-remove elemental spells crying is to be able to Heal and DD at the the same time. Broken is broken.

How unbalanced people seem to want this game to be. I hope that ability is erased in ARR or fixed to be WHM unusable.

Eh people seemed to derail off the point once again so I gave up for a while there.

Alhanelem: My original suggestion wasn't to remove WHM's ability to be offensive, but to simply open up the spectrum of elemental affinity by giving WHM more consistent spells (that have low resistance), and giving BLM the full elemental wheel, to be able to take advantage of elemental weaknesses.

So a sideways trade for WHM, but an upgrade for BLM & the elemental affinity that is currently barely existent..

However this topic keeps going off on a strange & twisted tangent so I've pretty much given up on the thread.
Have fun chasing each other's tail !

IF you played BLM as a thunder mage in XI, you played poorly and wrong. There are many isntances lightning based spells did no good, and you need to know your element tree, how to cast one element first to lower the mobs resistance to the next, to increase damage. There are many times Fire was stronger, and others where wind based were.

WHM is light based, BLM is element based. IT isn't balanced right now. THey awknowledged that, and hopefully will address it. BLM are pure DD, as as such, need the ability to control high damage, and elements against specific mobs (since that is being introduced again).

WHM shouldn't be acting like a scholar class. Even tho a weak form. IT should have light based, with a couple potent light based spells tossed in.

In other words... you don't want WHM to be able to solo like all the other classes can.

WHM would be able to solo just fine with light based attacks. I dont remember having an issue killing things with scourge and banish back in the day.

In other words people should read posts, instead of hitting the reply button straight after reading the subject line.

Nope, I'm peachy

But my statement still stands.

[fusional]

so, remove elemental nukes that fall in line with WHM lore in FFXIV because WHM doesn't have them in other FF titles with different lore.

oooooookay

i'm starting to see a recurring theme of stalwart bias in these threads

Well it was rude...

Stating a whm could solo with Banish is ridiculous. But again, I think this is another situation where someone wants FFXIV to be FFXI-2
