Thread: Request: Ability to re-assign class levels after 1.20

THM has been the superior healer for the majority of this game's existence. Both mages were designed as healers, and it's silly to pretend otherwise.

CON was always destined to heal. That was blatantly obvious many months ago when CON was given curaga and 3 different types of raises.

Um, "three months ago" was 10 months after the game was released? That doesn't sound like "always" to me.

Actually, it wasn't. The cone AoE gave it a advantage. Everything else in THM's arsenal was for DoT enfeebling spells and magical defensive tanking. CON had the exact same healing potential, but with a different and ill received AoE radius. There were a few abilities that would suggest MP conservation which could point to them being strong healers, but let's just forget that for now.

Technically, when looking at that standpoint and using your logic, both would potentially become a main healer. This will be in response to your next point.

Yet you still leveled THM after that change. In this specific case, it's really about common sense. When you see changes to one class going into a main healing role put two and two together and make a safe assumption that this is probably projected to be a main healer. Sorry you wasted very little mind power to achieve maxing your THM, but you should have saw this coming a while ago. Unless, you're on a three month delay.

Is it logical to assume that the game would be changed so that there is only one healing class? In which FFs (or any other MMO ever) is this the case? Do buffs to WHM indicate that RDMs should prepare to lose cure spells?

I'm not objecting to CNJ being made the main healer. I don't know why you keep bringing up that point.

Then what is the problem? You want to be given a choice to change your class levels because you made a poor choice when the signs and the information dished out from the devs have been here for months? You know, THM can still use CON's healing spell. They just can't use their heavy cure spell. You don't know the effectiveness this cure spell will scale to.

You could be a fine back up healer. Not a main healer, of course, but if that is what you want then level the class. For the 500th time... it's not difficult to do this anymore.

Which was, in turn, many months after I had already made the choice and ranked up THM. That doesn't do me much good.

You ranked up THM from the late 30's to 50 just last month according to your lodestone. Try not to lie when the information is easily found.

Just give up the debate. You don't deserve a hand out for lack of common sense. Sorry.
