MAGE STRIKE

[Allanon]

You mean like the current existing "Spiritbind"?

Not really an option in the 45 instanced dungeons at least if you want to get done in the time allowed. MP management has always been something that people did not notice, however now mages and parties in general need to be aware of the new MP cost. My problem is the curega/II I would think it better and more AP friendly if they just made AoE cost more then adding new spells. I think it makes a happy medium and does not really nerf the mage classes so much that way along with allowing the mage class to not be pigeon holed into a job they don't really want to perform in a party. We have all played the tank/dd/healer setup is to much to ask that everyone be able to fill that roll depending on the type of monster you encounter?

You are correct. I believe the "Bind" effect was somewhere around 30 seconds before 1.18, after I am unsure of any change. And it was one of the first things I notice was MP management identical to XI's. I pointed out in another thread initial reasons for the current MP costs on certain spells, and although I found myself loss of MP, I soon picked back up what I had learned from XI about Healing management.

Unfortunately, CON is flawed by nature due to it's Burn and/or Healing resume. Opposites shouldn't be together like CON. But from a foresight, CON(akin to SCH) as a class provides greater understanding and acceptance for Jobs. This is wher my theory that the Jobs BLM and WHM will be linked to the same class, being CON.


My brain is fried sry if I made little sense.

from the start of this game there was something wrong, THU can tank batter than a GLD and DMG better than a RNG. either make them this or that.
this is a step in the right direction, sure it needs more balance, but still in the right direction

[DoubleEcho]

I think whoever said you should be in charge of this game is taking back that statement now.

i absolutely love the new update. love it. love it so much my eyes bleed.

Neptune has the right idea and I support him.
I play Conjurer for the ELEMENTAL MAGIC. Something most people seem to forget that Conjurers have. I will not heal you, heal yourself.
All the people putting us down because we don't like the changes are the same people that will be saying they don't like the changes in some other patch. Always happens.
We're giving the Dev Team our feedback and until we have confirmation of these changes everyone says "wait and see" about, we will continue to give our feedback.

You have not experienced the full gamut of the Conjurer at R35. Yes it has access to elemental spells, but that is not what it is effective at. Additionally most of those spells will probably see some form of adjustment in the future. Then again my guess is you prefer solo play. Right?

Yep. Got a problem with that? I LOVE solo. I'm casual. Throw me to the wolves! Oh nooo! There's different types of gamers out there. How dare they enjoy games! Games are not meant for everyone! Kill them all! You people are all the same. Prejudice pieces of ****.

[LuxLex]

yeah, god forbid a mage would want to solo something or not be a healer (or even worse, just plain useless a la THM 2.0)

[Lyndis]

I for one love what they've done.

Finally we're actually seeing a class that is superior in healing giving the possibility of a healing role. I am one of the people who love to play the healer in a group.

Now they just need to keep up the changes and strengthen thaumaturge's role as whatever they're planned to be (A DD debuff mage?). Then give us jobs. These changes are just the beginning of something great.

Yay for group play!
