Raise/Ressurect too low

[Teknoman]

I think the issue for me is that the conjurer gets the high-level resurrect spells. This doesn't fit within the game world they've established. The thaumaturge guild is interested in questions of life and death, in discovering a method to resurrect the dead--not the conjurer's guild!

So either they plan to completely reboot the thm and con story lines, or...

...they don't even know their own mythos.

Regardless of story, Conjurers still have the whole black/white mage combo going for them, so it was obvious they would continue to give them more spells.

Now Thaumaturge and related jobs could get death or doom spells at some point.

But why should anything in FFXIV be "regardless of story"? I can recall a time when SquareEnix was boasting that this was going to be the first story-driven MMO. Pfft. The story is already weak as it is, but now they're undermining their own mythology with stark changes to the battle system? I just don't like it.

Not to mention, I was digging the THM as White Mage/buffer/debuffer...the cone is so much better :P
