Green mage should be a thing!

There is only one class that uses blunt weapons in this game which is Monk

Monk's aren't the only job that use blunt weapons, but they are the only ones who benefit from the debuff. MNK, WHM, BLM, SCH, and SMN all deal blunt damage. Blunt damage users outnumbered the other damage types until HW, where AST and DRK brought the slashing damage uses up to 5 as we'll. Then with SB we got SAM and RDM, who are also slashing. And now with ShBr we are getting GNB and DNC, both of who should be slashing... boy SE sure does love their slashing damage.

those magic classes dont use melee attacks so bringing them up as using blunt weapons was pointless to me completely.

Green Mage wasn't even useful in A2 because Gria and Juggler's existed.

RDM is piercing.

RDM is piercing.

Ah right, Rapier. Forgot for a sec that even though it's a "sword" it mostly uses thrusts to deal damage.

All this aside how does one actually find the damage types for each job anyway?

I thought Green Mage and Time Mage are the same job, all about buffing and debuffing spells that work over time.

I always thought the Conjurer was a green mage, you start out in a garden themed area and the first thing you do is swear to protect nature and see no harm to it...then your first quest is to go slay a bunch of animals. ^^; "I'm getting mixed signals here."

It's like you expect to come back and everyone gasps in horror, "how could you?!" "You told me too!" =T_T=

Speaking of Time Mage, why isn't Haste a usable spell in this game? I would think AST would be able to use it. This has probably been discussed before, but I don't really frequent the forums very often.

It has been quite some time since I played AST so I guess I forgot.
