Be brave

I mean, one has only to look at the recent changes made to Thaumaturge to see SE's new stance on classes. Class is now equivalent to role. And that was by no means the original incarnation of the Armory System.

Just because they limited the Thaumaturge's curing abilities doesn't mean class = role. All along, the classes have certain abilities that can't be shared, and among the ones that can be shared, they are limited in potency when used off-class. The classes were never meant to be completely identical to each other at any point in time. That was never the intention with the Armory System.

It's as simple as this: Thaumaturges weren't meant to be better healers than Conjurers. So they got nerfed.
