MAGE STRIKE

[Shai]

The same could be said for the way it was before. Before, CONs were expected to be a hybrid class. I was expected to nuke, but I didn't want to. I wanted to be a healer.

So, now, the tables are turned.

Maybe I'm biased. I play healers in all my MMOs. In FFXI I was a WHM. In WoW, I was a Holy Priest. In Aion, I was a Cleric. Being a party/raid healer is all I want to be.

Before, I never felt satisfied in my role. Now, I couldn't be happier with the direction that CON is going.

Right, but wouldn't you have been HAPPIER if they released a healing only class?

I mean, your CON is only R25. It's not like you dedicated 9 months to it or anything. They could have left CON alone and opened up Prelate heal class. It would have suited your needs just find and not really cost ME anything, since I liked CON the way it was.

Your opinion (as you admit indirectly) is simply a selfish one. You like healing (and so do I) and now you have a more defined healer, but that doesn't really account for any of the countless other people who aren't you that don't feel like you do about CON specifically.

True, it's why I'm looking forward to White Mage. But until then, this is what we've got.

No, I've been playing a CON since closed beta, so that means I've dedicated one year to it. Quit finger-pointing at people who aren't at level cap like their opinions and experiences aren't just as valid. Maybe the problem isn't with the few people who were fine with playing the game the way it was, jack-of-all-trades homogenized God-like mages with never-ending MP and AoEs, but with the many more who didn't find any enjoyment in it.

1. Ironic that you like to call others selfish, and then throw around the word ME ME ME in half your posts.
2. For the 'countless others' who liked CON the way it was, there are also 'countless others' who didn't feel the previous model was very satisfying.
3. Mages needed a major rework. Hell, we're STILL a work in progress. Who didn't see this coming?
