MAGE STRIKE

[Ayerc]

It's really not bad at all. MP does get down to 0 on occasion, but then I Tranquility it back up.

Curaga Spam...not the answer. Sac III on FIVE members? Hardly.

If your tank is doing his job, you only need to Cure II him, and keep the melee up with the occasional Sac II. Sac/Cure III is really emergency only, or you'll quickly have the mob breathing down YOUR neck.

And I'll say this, it's a hell of a nice thing not seeings 5 blue goose eggs pop up everytime someone casts a healing spell.

I won't speak to the nuking capabilities of the jobs, didn't get to test that tonight.

Agreed. Maybe people should just give themselves some time to adjust to the new mechanics. Things have changed and we need to figure out the new way of doing things. Healing in parties is a big one. Maybe if those melee players get hit they should utilize those wonderful and easy to use self-heals more often now instead of just relying on mage heals. As a Pug Bloodbath + Victimize II is amazing.

Edit: As far as the white mage thing goes, that's what people asked for. Since this forum went up people bitched and moaned about class uniqueness and specialization. Well it's here. Sorry you leveled the wrong job.
