Removing elemental nukes from WHM

[Shougun]

Sorry it's late and I used the wrong mob as an example...I just remembered you said toad, my bad. I was trying to point out that there are general world mobs that yes, are weak to stone or air, but you can still effectively kill them as THM/BLM.

And again, the stone weakness thing...very very situational. And if SE ever designed a battle boss that was 'stone' or 'air' weak, I am positive that 1. Monk would be the >DD not White Mage. White Mage would still be healing but would of course toss out the occasional appropriate nuke (just like they do now). It would be SE's job to make sure however, that Black Mages were still viable in the battle. That is on them not me...but I have faith in them being able to develop battle content that even if it wasn't Black Mage optimal, it would be Black Mage doable. So far, ALL endgame content could effectively use Black Mage.

Honestly I dont care if the elemental wheel is dvided so long as healer doesnt get mistaken as main DD. And yeah monk would probably go ape shit lol.

If exactly as you say BLM are still desired for the fight because of some weird mechanic like machines being charged by BLM thunder and then fires high damage, or massive fire spam. I could live with it, but it needs to be designed in there.

I believe BLM still needs a non elemental nuke for the moments when his elements are being resisted, but that's all in due time I guess. Specially with how the class/job stuff is structured atm and his fire/ice elements being both aoe. I'm hoping sooner then later though.

In WoW priests can go DD but they need different gear and a whole talent tree difference that can't be changed except for in town. So it was a dedicated choice to go DD, not a willy nilly switch (though usually WHM isnt as good as a DD as shadow priest, only on stone weak monsters - which is why I said I dont want to see WHM willy nilly into top DD on stone weak bosses).
