    Is that a SCH i see?

    Foreshadowing SCH or just random attire for CON and/or THM?


    As a fellow former SCH enthusiast from FF11, this makes me happyface. I might break my "maining melee onry" promise and go back to mage if this shapes up well.

    SCH was a pointless addition to FF11.

    And hope they don't make the same mistake with this game.

    They could do with redesigning THM to be more like a necromancer though, especially how the THM quests hint at zombifaction and having control over the dead.

    I havent done the thm quests, but in other stories it is hinted at that the thurmaturges secretly practice necromancy, however the are always denying it, it could be different in the thm quuests as I have not done them.

    Who knows how jobs will branch off. If this isn't CON, then perhaps a future THM could be BLM, SCH & NEC.

    It wasn't pointless at all. I specialized as a damage-dealing SCH, and more often than not I was doing a lot more damage than the better geared black mages out there in raw nuking power, not to mention I was a helix fanatic and by the end of their duration, those helices equated to more than an ancient magic spell most times. And for only like, 79MP? something like that.

    Why not boost BLM instead? The job was pointless because it added nothing new to the table. Not enough to justify a new Job anyway. Instead it stepped on another Job's toes.

    Well, for me it was that SCH was much more versatile than a BLM role. Black Mages nuked and... that's as far as their capability goes. Maybe a few cures to help out in healing, but not very effective. SCH could enfeeble, heal, nuke, and use all of their spells in innovative ways with the fact that they could apply them to multiple mobs instead of one [i.e. graviga, bindga for added crowd control]. Oh, and lets not forget stormsurge which added +7 to your attributes as well as damage increase for magic attacks according to the element applied ^^b It did a lot more than just step on toes

    All of SCH's "new" utilities (which were not that many and not that useful) could have been given to their respective jobs instead.

    Only now is SCH starting to become slightly more diverse since they have a way to give party members regain.

    SCH can come off as a bit redundant in FF11. It does offer a new play style over BLM, WHM & RDM though.

    I think SCH would compliment FF14 better than it did FF11. Since there would be no need for a whole new class, they could just utilize it as a job specification.
