Things that need to change for the better

awwwww pookie! i feel so bad for you! you actually have to mage now! poor you!

What fun was it to spam aoe cures all day long? its boring.. this is much more challenging no? its fun? go play something else if u want something in perma easy mode

?

funny that you say that considering how, until this patch, I was never a healer at all. I would toss out a cure once or twice if the THM was down on mana, but any other time, I was a full time blm con. You want to talk about easy mode to a player that played FFXI for 7 years and solo/duod blm all the way to 75? yeah ok, bro. I'm not happy that CON is the new whm especially since I am a terrible healer. ZOMG! HE SAID HE IS BAD! Yes, I admitted that I'm a terrible healer and the only game that I've ever mained healer in was PWI, but the point still remains that the mana costs for the cures in this "casual friendly" game are still much higher than any other game and they need to be lowered. Also, sir, I would like for you to actually comment on my other points instead of trying to belittle me to make yourself feel better about your life.

So you have no idea what you're doing when you're trying to heal and then complain about MP costs?

and here you go trying to belittle me. No, I know what I'm doing from a hate and mp management standpoint seeing as how (if you actually read my post instead of just trying to find a reason to yell at me more) I solod/duod blm in XI...what I didn't mention was that I was elvaan and I did perfectly fine. I still played healers, but I never mained them (meaning I never took one past like..65) So yes, I know what I'm doing as far as MP is concerned, I'm just not good at knowing thresholds and the limits of my cures.


So far, most people seem to agree with almost everything aside from #5. After testing it out a bit more, I did realize that the fight is actually pretty decent once you get past the initial aggro (the reason we would wipe was due to a party member's error, which we have now corrected). Now we just need the right setup as 1 con, 1 thm, 2 arc, 2 mrd, 1lnc and 1 pug just isn't quite cutting it so I retract the statement about the dungeon needing a nerf. I WILL NOT, however, retract my statement about the mobs depoping so that the party can reenter. I still strongly believe that this needs to at least be looked at.

Considering con has nuke spells and not just cures, it is a shame to see them made into a cookie cutter class. Being a healer can be fun if you like that.. and wanna deal with people ready to verbally lynch you if you make one mis-step and they die. I was a whm 75 in XI, I only ever went so for very close friends cause I hated the masses that just wanted to suck up cause healers were so obscure. You're right Dubont you shouldn't have to be restricted from using other abilities in a class. I mean it'd be nice if people could tweak their characters to choose more. When you make classes that are more flexible you don't find these static party set ups because there's only ONE true tank class and so on. I mean people screamed for more strategy, and it seems they still didn't get it like they thought. Strategy that requires one method and set up for doing something isn't a strategy, it's making it easier to post a solution on a wiki to a battle. I much prefer strategy where I can think of many possibilities, such as a con being able to lay into a boss with it's elemental magic and have it be effective and not always be a designated healer.
