    Yes. I'm not suggesting a freely available reassignment system; I'm suggesting a one-time* reassignment based on the major changes that are scheduled.

    I'm saying that there is a precedent for an MMO developer saying, "OK, we're making major changes, but we recognize that you've already invested the required time in leveling up your character, so we'll allow you to reassign the time you've spent based on how the game works now."

    *unless they make similarly groundbreaking changes again, in which case they should offer another reassignment

    P.S. I feel the need to point out that this is not a request based on the normal ebb and flow of class pecking order. If that was my intent, I would have asked for it for my ARC at 1.19. This is something totally different; THM is having its native healing abilities completely removed.

    Because it's no longer a healer. I'm sorry if that's what you level'd it for, but really you should have level'd the job with the "Cure" spell if you wanted to be a healer.

    Or as stated earlier, you should have both leveled if you were that serious.

Luckily, I farmed all those Dodore wings while the getting was good.
    That's fair enough. I didn't level either at all until after 1.18. I still intend to stand by my point though, as with the way partying and such is done now, I personally find a Radial AoE to be superior to Cone.

    Actually, I was thinking that I should have leveled the class with elemental nukes if I wanted to be a nuker.

    But we see how that turned out.

    I see your point now =)
    Sorry, but I don't like this that much. It'll be more like, if I hate Magic (which I really hate) I would level up THM and CON to 50 just to switch their levels on my Fighting classes and having the effect of "Cool! My Pugilist went from 37 to 50!", basically being so powerful without even doing an effort, and that kinda kills the fun. Yeah, I could just not do it, but if everybody does it and your Linkshell requires that you are a L50 Pugilist then you feel constricted to do it.

    But that's only my idea, wait for others' feedback =)
