Elemental Wheel, What's the point?

I would feel insulted if I say a white mage trying to DD. They should be curing and buff. They ARE the healer role! There is no, if, or buts. There is no other healer, and seconds it takes for them to cast an offensive spell the tank could be killed.

Black Mage is purely damage dealing it can't do anything else! We can't support the group in any other way other than our damage output, so why should white mage be able to do both healing and DDing? And Red Mage, which we all know it coming, has always been a mixture of both Blm/Whm so it can do both and enfeeble.

Whatever you say. WHM has damage spells, and they work, so I'll continue to use them. Of course it's not main DD, but WHM dmg spells have their place. The whm af fight is an excellent example of when a whm should be using dmg spells. We did that fight last night with 5 people, 2 whm (one healing and one on DD) 2 BLMs and a MNK. The fight went very smoothly.

Thats cause that fight is so easy you dont even need to Cure. its a straight zerg fight. If you cant zerg that fight your doing it wrong. And And ya they do work cause if they didnt Blm wouldnt be bitching they don t have them. Its as Everyone else say give Whm Banish and or Scourge and give Blm All the elemental spells everyones happy.

Last time I checked zerg tactics are the opposite of low-man. It is a pretty easy fight, but it's still easier to use the right elemental spells ala whm.
