I'm sorry but, when I joined the game I was promised being what I wanted to be! Even now we've been told this will foster even more unique-ness to classes, with the addition of jobs!

I wasn't aware, that as a conjurer, that meant changing my name to MP-paranoid White mage. I haven't run out of MP yet, and MP isn't really the issue for me! It's having my role as an amateur thaumaturge and r50 conjurer set for me! Weren't designated healers and tanks supposed to be a thing of the past? Weren't the party sizes made smaller just for this reason? WTF.

I admit the mp costs are a little outrageous if you expect to live, but if you're my tank and you're dropping to red/orange health every 2 hits from the mob, then you better take a look at what you're doing as well, because you're the reason we're spamming so much!

It's a shame now though that my MP is reserved specifically for healing, as Thau has been reduced to nothing but a DoT butt picker like cons now. I can't believe anyone is actually ok with this. It wasn't fun in XI, and it's not fun now.

Prepatch I could actually participate in battles between cures via nukes, dots, and basic attacks. Now? Please stand still as I fire up one of my rationed Curagas as I've just noticed half of my party at red and yellow health.
Your Dumb, play as a Black mage.
