Caster Classes All Nerfed...

[Mysteltain]

While I can't comment on ACN or CNJ class and job changes, I'm not terribly miffed with the THM/BLM changes. First off, people never really use Blizzard 2 outside of FATE farming, or just for some consistent AoE damage against weaker dungeons mobs (Morbol Seedlings in AV, and Spriggans in the first CBM boss fight come to mind). Its addition as a cross-class skill is okay--it gives a decent AoE to low level CNJ and ACN, so that's nice. Scathe... meh, it's not that big of a deal. I only use it as a finisher against weaker mobs, or if I'm having to kite monsters for a short while. The loss of Thunder as a cross-class ability isn't really that big of a deal. Yeah, it means CNJ and ACN lose a DoT, but it was never something I considered to be 'essential' when playing as them.

Now, Freeze getting those buffs is great. I'm not even joking, I'm legitimately excited. We finally get a viable, ranged ice AoE to use. Now, if only they'd make Apocatastasis useful...

EDIT: ...something like, "Reduce all magical damage against the targeted party member by 25% for 10 seconds." That'd actually be worth something, rather than just boosting their resistance stat.
