Now i understand that the combo would be a bit Overpowered if there wasn't a restriction specially if there wasn't a cooldown on thundaga but thm has poor mp regen mechanics as opposed to be4 1.20(<3 siphon mp) as powerful as they are now you can easily wipe out a majority of your mp with a 3-combo move and parsimony blows for mp return and the only way to have resonable mana return is using a skill that requires you to be getting hit to regen MP (seriosuly im a bloody mage why do i have to be getting hit to get mp back) apparently SE doesnt understand that Glasscannons like thm not good at taking hits. Worst part of this is they will be expecting us to pay for this crap and like many people in-game i am seriously considering cancelling my subscription and maybe waiting to see what future patches have to offer (since there is nothing the so-called special event ppl who pay for this 1.20 crap will get to participate in will have to offer that will be worth paying for) or just waiting till 2.0 to even bother with it.
I don't think damage over all got nerfed on LNC, it's just the system is inadequate for the direction the game was taking towards newer endgame content i.e. Ifrit.
