Solving the Fire Mage Problem

[MagiusNecros]

The BLM was weak. I have full confidence the WoL can achieve damn near anything.

The Mhachi mages aren't around because they were prominent during the War of the Magi. They are mostly wiped out now. They took the Ark into the Void supposedly...probably couldn't survive. Refer to what could have been the fate of Nero in the World of Darkness. That is likely what happened to all the Mages on board the Ark. Voidsent only survived because they can exist on that plane of existence. Xande made a pact with something that couldn't be controlled. And is mostly a homage to FF3.

Your arbitrary dismissal of why NPC BLM have access to petrification and a drain spell whereas the player does not only means you don't care much for them. If it's a fear of imbalance why not plop them in PvP?

That said further discussion with you shall lead nowhere. So nowhere it shall remain. Kudos.

I'm iromi lol

Well, you can turn in your RPG player card if you don't know what Magic missile is.

Apparently you do not understand my facetious comment. So I'll put it simply. Looking up what spell to use then using that spell to make the most numbers on your magic moving picture box is not "deep" or complex". Especially in an age where you can look up everything. Never class stacked in 1.0? Garuda says hi.

Still waiting for you to prove me wrong, but I get the feeling I'm wasting my typeywords. Which brings me to...

Snippety snap

I like how you skip over the fact that all voidsend summoning to date, except one comic relief example, has been shown to be irredeemably evil. Bit lets ignore that when you have a narrative to push.

But all this points to a deeper malady, what i like to call the Akiza effect. You want your classes to be special, regardless of what it does to balance or the increasing button bloat. You don't care as long as you get to feeeeeeel good.

And you are right our discussion is going nowhere. But the reason is much closer to home than you might think darling.
