THM is the new MRD?

[Belial]

Many people are upset about the Mrd losing its super aoe abilities as it best in Sh situations. I wonder if THM will have proper strength nukes. IF so thm may be to go to for 1.20. In a few ours i guess i ill know.

Eh, I still think MRD will have the ability to be an AoE machine, from the patch notes & ability/trait adjustments it's quite clear they're going to slow down the pace of combat, but for everyone. So I don't think MRD is going to lose it's position as being an AoE melee. I -do- think THM will become better at AoE, depending on MP regeneration, but it will really shine once BLM & BRD comes into play.

Glass cannons should be able to blast stuff, but they should also have to manage threat generation, which I think may also be a factor since I assume they'll adjust the enmity algorithm for the new combat pace. But speculation, we'll know for sure in a few hours.
