Shield changes

[Chardrizard]

Why would you use shield when you are mostly in passive mode these days....? since they doesnt work on active mode.

Because I still use active mode while soloing, and you still need to be in active mode to use your magically-oriented TP attacks.

Now, it's not entirely a bad thing, but you can tell i'm a little frustrated right now because even not counting the shield changes, thaumaturge and conjurer not only transformed almost totally, but with the job system, will go an almost total role-reversal.

THM had a very clear astral/umbral theme, and the class quests were based on this. Now, they're elemental and no longer seem to have the astral/umbral component at all (in fact it seems to have been removed from the game in all but storyline)
