Scaling of abilities to a player's level is not a step in the right direction.

You must not have common sense breh. Imma let you see when the patch goes live how wrong you arez

Eh? It doesn't take common sense read the facts that Yoshi has stated. Class fundamentals will stay the same.

Around half of Gridania's quests heavily involve Conjurers, the elements, and the elementals. The guild itself defines Conjurers as extensions of the elements through an individual. If that's not fundamental, I dunno what is. SE isn't going to rewrite half the lore and quest events in order to facilitate a change like that.

In the same way, the fundamentals of Thaumaturges are the fact that they deal with light and dark.
