Umm..Thunder?

[Zenn3000]

So I'm new to the game, I've been playing for about 2-3 weeks now.

I finally got my Conj to 30 and jumped over to level my Arcanist to 15 so I can unlock WHM, the class I want to play.

How exactly am I suppose to level 30-50 without Thunder? I've depended on Thunder for DPS since level 15 or so. Now I'm suppose to do the last 20 levels spamming nothing but Stone 2 all day?

You really know how to make a new player want to quit your game Square, great job.

Time to debate if I even want to log in again, might cancel my account tonight.

This change is stupid and only hurts people new to the game and people attempting to level a healing class, something people WANT around. Stupid Squarenix, stupid as hell.

Grab blizzard and aoe your way to 50 with a 50 potency spell. YAY!

Thunder: net 240 potency (30 upfront, 35 every 3 seconds for 18 seconds)
Aero II: net 210
Aero: net 200
Stone 2: 170
Fluid Aura: 150 (off-gcd)

Use Cleric Stance.

"Depending on" Thunder is a silly statement; most enemies shouldn't be alive for more than 1 or 2. You'll be spamming Stone 2 a lot anyways.

Yes, but without Thunder, thats easily 2-3 more Stone 2's I must cast and a much more boring style of solo play.

This change seems completely pointless and arbitrary.

I could adapt…I could also leave this floundering game that struggles to get new users because of a really stupid change that ruins some of the game for me.

[Yuichi]

Adapt and evolve that is how MMO players do it. We change strats, rotations, etc whenever something changes. if it seriously sucks we just quit. Most give it a chance though.

I am perplexed about the removal of Thunder... Just doesn't make sense to me. Don't worry though. You will get Aero II which is stackable with Aero I and also keep in mind the Stone I is still useful for slowing down mobs. Fluid Aura for push-backs etc. etc. I don't see the point in Blizzard beyond the scope of pvp combat. I'm definitely going to miss having Thunder in my dps rotation so I can understand your frustration...

I have a 50Lv WHM class and I think I can live perfectly fine without Thunder. But I have to agree with You when You say that we need more Spells... But its just the beggining of this game... I think SE will do great changes in future. Look how big is the Patch 2.1 update!

Yeah, there are only what, 3-4 decent cross skills for WHM before? And now one of them is gone for no reason.

[thiago_fzs]

I agree! But i think in future patchs will come more spells...
