Thunder Mage

[HamHam]

Just as the topic. This is what I feel we have become, a thunder mage. In terms of dealing damage it seems this is the only spell worth using in big fights. Specially, during the moogle fight and Ifrit. I only hope our spell pool gets better.

yea they give one mage the ability to heal and DD, and the other to just DD. the only prob is each class only has the spells that half the mobs are weak to which mean 50%of the time thm will be useless. Unfortunately jobs dont seem like it will be the fix for thm, better mp management, aoe sleep and some more of the same elemental spells. All mages will need to lvl both so they can select the right spell list for the job.

with water out of the elements i wonder if they plan to change the way everything works.

A THM is more than a Thunder mage. Most of our spells have additional, useful effects (bind, gravity, stun, etc.). The job is incredibly fun to play post-1.20. Quitcherbitchin.

they need to fix the combo stuff, what the hell while the melee classes dont loose any tp to complete the combo thm drains all the mp in 2 combos well im lvl36 thm, Maybe at 50 u drain ur mp in one combo thats BS.

Thunder is optimal for current content and thus will be the most common element used by most people, but Fire is useful for the exp process (something that most people forget still exists since they capped their classes months ago or whatever) as well as farming and Blizzard still has uses for crowd control (though Blizzard and Blizzara need some refinement).

Apparently, you haven't fought ifrit, or moogle, to make such statement. We all know there are other spells, but my purpose for this topic was to point out that we literally only have thunder as the main spell to deal big damage. I wish I could use a different array of spells that can deal as good or better damage as thunder, that's all.

Although I've found the easiest way to do Ifrit as a thaum is Thunder+Thundara, Moogle is a completely different story. The bind and gravity effects on Blizzard and Blizzara are extremely valuable when it comes to controlling the fight (last phase especially) and keeping your teammates out of harm's way.

Also, as far as I can see from end-game content, elemental weaknesses and strengths do not apply to Primals and such. So as far as I'm concerned, having the Thunder spells be the generic "big damage" nukes is fine, especially since there are a very limited number of skills compared to pre-patch.

Its ok half the people who play this game couldnt pronounce thaumaturge and said thunder mage anyway. Maybe they moved the class more towards people awful and annoying pronunciation.

Moogle is all about Blizzara.
