[dev1206] The effects of Protect and Shell have been made mutually exclusive

[Altanas]

It would have been more interesting if Conjurer's basic melee attack was turned into casting a protect-barrier, and its second melee attack turned into casting a shell-barrier, each lasting five minutes but overriding each other.

There is still no reason for Conjurers to gain TP from its list of moves I see. That would have in essence decreased the number of slots required on the action bar in of itself, and still kept both protect and shell in game. As levels are gained one could turn into Wall, the other turn into Veil?

If need be, the mobs attacking the barrier could generate TP for the conjurer. It would also be more in line with Tanaka's apparent vision (i.e. CG intro + limsa opening cs)

Why would I want to beat on anything with my wand with only sub par weaponskills, and now I dont even have shell ; ;
