Removing elemental nukes from WHM

[Alaltus]

Lol I'm surprised of those so against the idea on this.

WHM cannot be main DD but yet WHM has DD spells - so SE has to keep the wheel down on EG content, as there is no way i'd be ok for the WHM DDing over the BLM and when you use the wheel that would happen (and it appears SE agrees since nothing EG is really weak to stone, or any element really).

So rather Altena said hey why not give them a DD spell that wont be a problem. And everyone is raging at original lore even though Yoshida has already retconed the hell out of lore.. No such thing as original lore now lol.

Beyond that there where also suggestions to:

- Remove non white magic spells from white mage
- Leave the DD elemental spells with white mage but also give it to black mage (so black mage could still out DD white mage)

Its a one sided argument from the get go thats why, the op entitled the thread that way. I could care less if White Mage gets locked out of wind/earth/water nukes. What i disagree with is the kneejerk reaction of players to cling to all the elements because SE failed to make a well balanced BLM without them. Its far from impossible to do SE just focused far too much on utility and with such a small spell list. It had very little to do with the elements themselves, yours or the enemies.

I can accept Conjurer losing its elemental nukes but i would hope and expect for some significant elemental buffs to take their place, not just stoneskin and blink. Furthermore if Thaumaturge/Black Mage can have all the elemental nukes then Conjurer can have buffs in the form of all the elements as well. As was roughly said earlier Conjurer can focus on appealing to the elementals for aid and Thaumaturge can focus on angering the elementals to unleash their wrath (if i remember the lore right on FFXIV Black Magic) That would fall neatly into place with the lore that i've read so far.

Though as i've said on other threads i would like to see the class and job systems seperated so that Jobs can be attached to more than just the 1 singular class we've seen so far.
