Conjurer advanced classes?

[Lyndis]

To start off discussion in the new conjurer forums!

Yoshida has mentioned that he wants to either add advanced classes or specialization classes for each class. Most likely to be traditional final fantasy classes such as white mage or black mage.

So the discussion what advanced/specializations do you believe Conjurer will have?

I feel like Conj is obviously a Nuker and a healer. THM is more like the debuffer.
Conj will probably be the Blm and Whm sub, but they can add a buffing class to it too.
I'm interested in how they will implement it. Must we choose between the two (BLM/WHM) ? Can we still be both specs somehow? If they make us choose one class, will we need to level the other to 50 again?

Well tbh, I think THM should be the dedicated Healer/DeBuffer since its AOE cone is defintely much suitable for healing, while THM also has more of an upper hand when landing debuffs with succession.

CON on the other hand, defintely hits a bit harder when nuking and has the dedicated "Ancient Magic" spells. But it also has those status effects removals that belong to a WHM, so I dont know ; ;

Yeh it does seem like THM could be RDM and CON = whm/blm, I would prefer conjurer being primary nuker, but still keeping its current set of spells.

If they increase the cap, maybe only supply thm with Sacrifice 4 but dont have Conj cure 4.

Think i have to agree, Cnj = Blm & well Thm = Rdm.
Or atleast let both of the classes pick which kind of Progression "Path" they want to take,
Something like...
* THM > RDM or WHM.
* CNJ > BLM or WHM.

Personally i think i'd prefer if there were specific skills or something you could pick to learn to follow a skill tree of sorts? a whole completely new class after getting con or thau to 50 seems... kinda tedious right now, especially when (at least for me) i'm leveling several other classes already in order to get traits / skills to buff up my Conj.

That sounds look a good idea

I hope they just leave mages the way they are. You can respec with a macro.

I just want my BLM outfit from the producer letter!

Adding specialization like this would be a nice way make a magic damage dealer more viable without simply buffing CON. I also wouldn't dismiss THM's damage-dealing potential. Shadowsear hurts. A lot.

I would enjoy this because it would make CON what I anticipated it would be way back before the betas before I ever played the game when I had hoped that CON would be this game's DD caster. Instead it's just a grey mage that has the spells but doesn't do much with them other than prot./shell/cure.
