MAGE STRIKE

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!

I did several runs through the Darkhold last night and our healers had no issues with MP at all. They were doing fine, albeit still getting used to the changes. We all had a lot of fun.

Simply put though, the changes were drastic. Healers had it easy for almost a year, and of course it's going to feel like some one just took a bat to your class's head when you get knocked down several notches. You just aren't used to it. Give it time, and you'll sync in with the changes.

People also need to understand that a lot of the complaints coming from a group perspective aren't exactly rock-solid. Yoshi-P himself said that classes will be tailored towards soloing in this new system.

Jobs will be tailored to grouping, and we don't have them yet. Of course grouping might be a bit more pain-staking while we don't have our defined roles and job abilities. When we finally do get those jobs, I'm sure white mages will get a plethora of abilities to make their lives easier, as well black mages.
