    I am just a bit over 10 now. Came back 3 days ago on the news of the patch. From my perspective the game just went to almost unplayable if you want to be a caster or a healer. I love playing healers but I haven't been able to do a solo difficulty leve today without dying once or twice. My mana only last about 3 linked mobs now being careful with my heals. From my perspective the game is no longer soloable, it is now group mandatory, even at the rank 10 camp. I guess I could switch to a melee class but I have never been much for choosing my class based on what is easy to level.

    Now, now, i'm happy with the changes on mages. C'mon THM needed nerf, flamming on forums something we saw incoming is not the answer.

    Conjurer just main heals!! Well, its supposed to. More mp cost on these is what keep us from playing distracted.

    Thaumaturge is broken!! At all. Nukes do exactly same ammount of damage to me.

    Lots of mp cost!! Recovering mp is easy and you have some skills that can help you, i never go under 600 mp so far. Wich is acceptable to me.

    I leveled thm at first just to use their range of casting for healing aoes, now that is nerfed, i won't complain, i'll just play more skillfully on my conjurer as main healer using the curegas.

    What MMO did you come from that as a healer, you pressed one hateless AoE cure that cost almost nothing mana-wise?

    If you can not see how critical these changes were to balance then I am glad you are on strike

    The changes are great. This adds some skill to the game. MP management is an actual thing now, instead of spamming cures for no reason.

    there is only so much room for skill if a taunt+provoke+featherfoot barely generates more enmity than a emergency heal3 and im sure pple who did HNM in XI know about emergency cure IV heals...

    Well I don't know about featherfoot being an enmity draw, but accomplice would solve that problem. (I assume you mean cure or sacrifice I've never heard of heal)

    unless the patch changed featherfoot it was enmity alright. and yeah i mean cure and sacrifice but its a waste of space to type out both when i can round them 2 up in 4 letters: heal

    Actually, I am ok with the nerf of mages especially thm. Before 1.18, thm is pretty much the only job u need in this game. I can solo/duo all NMs with 1 or 2 thm within 30mins(I can even kill and broke horn of the goat NM with 2 thm, using 42mins tho). As with the MP issue bring by 1.18, I think it a good point too. Try to think of ways to reduce ur mp cost, like using Sprigbind(I forgot the spelling) and dont spam cure when there is no need.
