Umm, I dont agree with you, I like the changes this patch has brought. To each his own?

I like the updates, I played for hours last night and had a blast.

I'm loving the updates as well and I'm a DoM main too. From my experience so far, the MP cost made the battles more strategic. Mages can't multitask much now, but that's a problem for me. It seems to be focusing more on giving people specific roles in parties. When I partied with another THM, he said on heal duty while I nuked; we didn't have any trouble with that.

So far my experience with the game has been enhanced.

Why do people think solo'ng to 20 is the same as main-healing at Darkhold or Great Buffalo?
I'm not saying 50s are better, or their opinion is better, but it's certainly a different perspective.

I just don't get why the uprising of under 30 mages keep saying it's a great "strategic" change, like they even hit anything that required a strategy yet. No offense, dood. Just using you as an example.

While I'm still low level on this char (I have a Mi'qote on another server in the mid levels), I can see the issue with capping one class and being thrown a curve ball in regards to your class' role. However once jobs were mentioned, this should have already been a red flag. The cure costs, I obviously can't test at this level, however I think they're encouraging people to get back up healers like in XI instead of 1 person healing the whole party. Mages had a problem with cure spamming before, while this patch might have been extreme, let's try to figure out new strats instead of complaining.

I call this BS. I didn't feel 'locked as White Mage' at all. In fact, I felt I was actually having to think a bit instead of cycling debuffs and spamming Sac III with absolutely no problem or risk.

Also, Scourge II and Banish II are on Shadowsear damage level now, overal accuracy of debuffs is much higher than before, and in my opnion, as a Thaumaturge main since Open Beta, the nerfs did end up as a good thing. At best, I would reduce a bit the MP costs, but not back to what it was

Its like these ppl complaining about things already have not even logged in yet? You can't start rage threads based on patch notes and expect ppl to take you seriously. The game has been injected with much needed strategy now.

I swear if I hear "SE is not gonna dictate my play style! RAGEQUITE" again i'm gonna explode...

Fav quotes of patch "Now I can't solo NM's anymore? this is BS I quite~!", "SE is not gonna tell me how to play", "Now I can't spam cure for 12mp this is BS!", "how can my archer solo w/o unlimited MP?", "wtf now I have to manage my mp I'm going back abyssia!"

AGREE

I am realy shocked abour all this hot threads. Only ratkids wowtars sound like.

Realy? You say you level a class till 50 and now are you crying becouse get a nerf? Are you sure you buught a MMO and no a Call of duty RPG version? You ppl are ( QQers ) really pathetic. Sound to me just like hacker in FPS games. Just wabt to play in easy-god-do-evrething-good MODE. Just leave the game if you can't take a time to learn to play wisely. Not spam X. Solo a NM whit a thm and rank a lor xploiting the leve system.

Really. I am rank 50 about 3 or 4 months ago. And i admit 40 to 50 was xploiting. But when i did that i know was a gift, a bug, an exploit. All ppl whit two fingers i. Front of them know is not for ever. And is not good. Is over

I love the changes. And for sure i hope more and the refinement of already exist.

So. Less QQing and expend your time learning to play. To use your mp wisely. To tank like a tank. To do dps like a real DD. Controling u and helping tank to hold the enmity. Is an MMO. Casual or not. Mostly is a team play. Not a solo play whit BOTs

Finish. Raise 3 please. Can i have it? Reward: Huge black matter

As a just about to ding 50 Conj, I really like the changes. No longer can I spam heals, and other spells. I have to actually pay attention. Skills such as Soughspeak and Siphon MP have a much bigger impact than they did before, let's not forget Spiritbind and Radiant Soul, or Tranquility.

Use the skills available to you. I completely re-did my skill bar upon logging in, and I am likely to tweak it some more yet. You can now play two VERY different types of conjurer.
Oh and put some points into Mind, you'd be surprised how much it helps. Oh and before you criticize, I partook in Darkhold as a main healer, with no problems.
