keep flailing about to justify your completely off-kilter assumptions. keep refusing to acknowledge clear evidence opposed to your position/agenda because it's merely 'inconvenient' and couldn't possibly hold any weight. anything to feel justified, correct, and entitled- anything to preserve your misguided sense of outrage.

and don't try to play the deflect/project/shed the spotlight game. i have no stake in this. i have both at 50 and look forward to trying both jobs. i just find *your* delusion (and that of those taking a similar position) both humorous and... mindblowing.

blackmage with raise 2 and rebirth... lollllllllllllll
If I may, I was one of the people that thought that CNJ was going to be BLM.
And while that might not have been true, there are still many reasons why CNJ would make sense as BLM and THM would make sense as WHM.
For one, according to the original lore, THM were priests and althought the ones in the guild that we join are rather. . . obssessed with the darker sides of magics, the other temple in Ul'dah was dedicated to life and the preservation of it.
CNJs on the other hand, were masters of all six elemental magics. Traditionally, in final fantasy, Fire, Blizzard, and Thunder were all Black Magic spells, with Quake (Stone), Tornado (Aero), and Flood (Water) all being special cases. (Aero being the only canon white magic out of the three)
And since many of us came from FFXI, were all of these were Black Magic spells, how could you not expect us to interpret CNJ as BLM on first impressions.
Yes, CNJ had Cure and other White Magic spells, but they could have easily given those spells to THM and let CNJs keep their elemental nukes to keep their lore intact while still keeping THMs lore relitively the same.
This argument is pointless however, so there is no need for this insulting and arguing.
