Thaumaturge Getting Hosed on raise ?

[Coglin]

As Thaumaturge, we are the scholars seeking the understanding of death, and walk the fine line between life and death with our magics. Are we losing this understanding to Conjurer with the raise/resserection/rebirth changes?

Is it just me, or does it appear we are getting the short end of the stick? Is the only change in this area that THM raise goes from 1 min recast to 5? While the CON gets 3 or so variation?

Its fair enough. CON is the base for all color mages...it is expected from them to master both healing and elemental damage roles.

For THM, instead, i'd expect more "dark magic", "divine magic" and "enfeebling magic" (sorry for using FFXI terms) and for CON "elemental magic", "healing magic" and "enhancing magic". So i'd rather see THM becoming Sage, Scholar or even Dark Knight instead of a color mage.

It seems as if thu gets the short end of the stick, but SE might announce new thu spells still. I know it's a pipe dream but re-resurrect

[Layawin]

I agree. I think dark magic and enfeebling magic would better fit the THM play style. I think we will have some pretty cool spells to look forward to down the road.

Soul Ward its in the dats, but not implemented yet

Just because some stuff got announced for one class, doesn't mean there's nothing coming for other classes.

Wait until the patch notes for 1.18 come out before complaining what 1.18 does and doesn't have.

Speaking from a purely logistical standpoint - and based on lots of experience in FFXI - I'm glad that THM didn't get the additional Raise spells. Let the CONs get stuck being the Raise-bots, I can go get a sammich while they clean up the wipes...

THM is the current king of the game, so I would hardly call this the short end. Though lore-wise...meh.

[Catapult]

There is always the possibility that a THM job will get better resurrection capabilities, which would explain why it's missing out now.

I can roll with this. The entire combat balance is getting mixed up, after all.

For once, "lolore" doesn't only apply to WoW's vast retconning achievements.
