No, it's not OK. I want the job to be fun, not just OK. This is why I don't play scholar. I don't find it fun. AST is looking to be a hell of a lot more fun than WHM is shaping out to be and a lot of the DPS jobs too. Hell PALADIN looks more exciting than WHM.

So will the argument now be, "not only did they not receive raid utility, but they also took away Cure 3"? It seems that the arguments adapt according to the tooltip. Interesting.

You know what I love? I just LOVE having abilities taken away from me! It feels great! Just take everything away and give it to other people, and then tell me to sit down, shut up, and stop crying because it's not that bad and here's a shiny ball (except it's actually a shiny ball covered in bull crap. Yes, there's a shiny inside, but I have to muck about with a bunch of bull crap to get there). It's my absolute most favorite thing in the world. SOOO glad that you and so many others came along to make it happen

Glad I can help

In all seriousness, your post sounds exactly like the whiney statements the devs are plugging their ears to. Yup, they've taken everything from you, leaving you to blame lil 'ol me for your woes. Are you going to unsub now?

Balance is still 20%, so there goes that :/

Apparently the dev team actually wanted to remove protect from the game too lol.

Twinfinite: For all of the actions that were removed, the development team clearly believed it was for the better that they were gone. However is there a job action that you will miss or something that you maybe tried to save from being removed but were overruled?

Yoshida: The opposite was true [he successfully saved one]. The Protect spell, there were talks within the dev team that “oh we don’t want this anymore” and he (Yoshida-san) felt that as Final Fantasy you have got to have that spell [Protect]. It would be weird if we didn’t have it.

That honestly wouldn't even be that much of a loss. Since it's got a 100% uptime anyway, except after death, what difference does having it implemented in the game or not make?

I kind of wish they did get rid of Protect since it's a spell that doesn't really impact the combat experience in a meaningful way. Or if not removed, have it reworked to function similar to the upcoming PvP version.
