I don't see where you get that at all from anything I've said, but I love how it's the default write off.

I'm not talking about THM solo Dodore.
I'm talking about CON standing around Healing when it could be doing 3-4 other things.
How is it overpowered to actually help the fight? How is it "balanced" to stand with my weapon sheathed waiting?

I'm complaining that the so called balance was too much.

Let's break it down. Though I doubt most of you will follow along or care.

Mages need to have more reason to manage MP from near limitless potential of pre-1.18.
So what do we do?

We could 1. Increase the cost of Cure x4 so they can't cast it as often. 2. We could increase the enmity it generates so they stop spamming it. 3. We could take away AOE Toggle so only 1 Mage can Heal well and now it needs 5-6 more actions on the ability bar meaning less Nuke/DOT/whatever else we don't want it doing. 4. We could nerf Siphon MP so mages only ever get back 80-120 (less than a Cure 3) rather than a free refill if they position themselves cleverly.

Ah fuck it! All of the above!
Like Holy Baby Jesus, really? All that? I think any of those might have been fine individually, but all 4?

All they did was make it FFXI all over again. I seen 3 Dungeon groups give up already because they couldn't find a CON or a GLA. Just sitting there 7/8 with no "specialized" job that they feel they need. Cool, huh? Just what we all wanted.

If you couldn't see an Archer/Thurma nerf coming then I don't know what the hell to tell you....

Anyone else tired of all the moaning? I sure am. 1.18 is really good. I actually have to manage my MP, plus I don't have to wait for minutes to regain it, unlike XI. Also, I can chat while fighting. w00t!

Thanks, Yoshi!

A thm who was worth their weight pre 1.18 was so OP'd it was INSANE! anyone who thinks these adjustments were not necessary should go find a different game to play. No class should be able to heal/tank/dd AT THE SAME TIME!@#%

If you want to be a DD/debuffer now? great do it, but you can't be a main healer AND lay out the most dmg of any class. Pre patch it was very easy to keep up: bio/poison/dia=> 90/tic + 6 CON dots=> 90/tic + chainspell/shadowsear=>2k/4min. {(80 ticks in 4 minutes)}

========>(90 x 80) + (90 x 80) + (2,000) = 16,400 dmg in a 4min. period {WHILE TANKING AND MAIN HEALING!!!}

As much as we got pooped on (I play THM) this patch is amazing. The level 50 dungeon was amazing. For once, something was hard and it was fantastic. This game is going in the right direction and I can't wait for future patches.

To all those who thought yoshi-P was going casual on our asses just got served a cold plate of rat turds. Mages got put back in their place, WHERE THEY BELONG. Enough of the big fat Easy button all 0f these kids are complaining about and wanting back. Archer is a DD now not a Multi-shot Lance throwa-Bowing machine. THM is a DoT/backup healer/DD class
not a... Tank-this-and-that-main-heal-here-DD-to-top-it-off-GOD.

The complaints i hear fall short, it's PATHETIC. Easy-mode & slackfest is over time to suit up, man up and let the children hide behind mummy's skirt. FFXIV is in action for the first time ever, live in the past if you want but you'll just be left behind in your tears of self-wallow & Pity.The Real Players know what im talking about. Let the quitters quit and the winners win. You'll come crawling back eventually!

This dude's got 52 likes and growing...and for good reason! 1.18 is legit!
