[1206] Water spells

Also, there are no paralyze/poison/silence/absorb/slow and there aren't any plans to implement them before the launch of version 2.0. However, as we move forward, if it becomes absolutely necessary to utilize them, we will look into it.

While I understand this is likely part of some greater plan (which I hope to be a new debuff class, since that's my favourite playstyle...ahem), it kinda sucks to have to wait an entire year to have access to effects that can be both useful and fun to use. Specially posion. I shall miss thee.

This might be asking too much, but at the very least I want to ask for some alternate method to deak these effects, even if it's via consumable item or equipment / materia with added effects.

There aren't any water-based attack spells, but conjurers do control water-based spells. The break down of elements are as follows:
CNJ: Water/Wind/Earth
THM: Fire/Ice/Lightning

Heartbreaking. This game has been transformed in to complete rubbish.
No enfeebling? All tactics out the window. No more gearing your character in enfeebling gear to land that slow.
Another theme-park MMO for the dwindling masses.

Wait. You use gear for enfeebling? lawl. Currently any class can land slow on Ifrit. Where do these "tactics" come in?

So instead of beating around a firey bush can you tell us at least what spells are water alligned ? is it healing ?

Why not just wait for the spell names?

Ifrit is a victim of this casual crap you're eating. I was hoping Ifrit was just something for the players to do while they implement their crap but it seems they are going to completely remove the need for anything RPG. There are no tactics because this is what we are getting. You can pick up Rift and do the same crap that is the Ifrit fight.
You will have the SAME experience.

Um. Ifrit is way more tactic-based than any FFXI fight I've done. In FFXI you just stay in one spot and pewpew or curecure. Unless you're a BRD. Then you just 2hr. And that's not a casual game.

Because we have a community devs attention ... and hmm I duno I would like to know ..

Besides the words Cure, Cura and Curaga aren't going to tell me if they are water based are they.

/sigh Lucifer if this game is too carebear for you go play FF11.

Aside a few boss/HNM/NM fights, XI is more 'carebear' than XIV and even WoW currently. I can see where Lucifer is coming from though.

As for water based, yes, healing has always been either Water, Light or Wind based. There's some exception, but quite a bit of RPGs (including FF) it fell into one of those 3.

Yes, this couldn't be part of a long term plan by them (the game isn't back in alpha phase, or anything!), they must be catering to those dumb casuals who ruin everything sacred about gaming. You're also not being irrational or making assumptions at all.

No enfeebling doesn't bother me though as I'm sure like others have said it will make a come back later down the road.

Can you confirm if the elemental wheel has changed due to destructive water spells being removed, it would make no sense to keep it as it currently works.

Fail. :/

Let me fix it:

CNJ1: Water/Wind/Earth
CNJ2: Fire/Ice/Lightning

Also, there are no thaumaturges and there aren't any plans to implement them before the launch of version 2.0. However, as we move forward, if it becomes absolutely necessary to utilize them, we will look into it.
