Black Mage - the solution for everything?

[darkstarpoet1]

Yeah it was soooo much harder using shadowsear. lol

well let's see the choices on what to not only put on your bar, but what to cast was alot more complex than that one spell. it was a nice try on your behalf though.

before your choices
banish
scourge
bio
dia
siphon hp
siphon tp
shadowsear
flashfreeze
poison
slow
drain
siphon mp
sacrifice
shell
protect
shock spikes
second wnd
sleep
and many many others used most big fights

now after the changes
fire
lightning
convert
sanguine rite
second wind
sleep

i'm saying there was actually a level of complexity before that the changes that removed the vast majority of them to the point a bad mele that keeps dying can jump on it and be twice as effective as it was as the mele class. sure, it will be nowhere near as effective as someone that actually plays the class normally, but if they are not dying and doing damage they are at least a help to the party and not a hinderance to it.

yes, a good mele is just as effective as a good blm, but with today's age of rampant power leveling it's just easier to make a pickup party and only ask for that class since you take the smallest amount of risk.

why is "Nerfing" always the answer.? why not balance the other jobs to be equally good.? and people want a TOTAL balance for everything, i do believe that some jobs need balancing, but i also believe that some jobs are better than others in "certain" battles.

All SE would have to do is put in a damage nerf for stacking classes.... Lets say if you have more than 2 blm (or any class) in a party, the overall damage is nerfed by 25%. Watch how quickly things would change if this was implemented.

What if you happen to have 3 people that enjoys BLM in a party? let's penalize them? this is not how you solve class stacking.

Don't bring up the "N" word please...SE has a bad habit of getting too thorough when they decide to "balance" things....

Much rather be encouraged to bring a more balanced team rather then suffering a nerf because I brought a stacked pt.

3 is too many, that's class stacking.

need more bosses that are imune/ highly resistant to magic

It's not about being better geared, it is about attitude. People that are well prepared are usually better players, the one that strive for the group wins. The one that doesn't rely on anyone, the one that knows how to pop elixir when in times of needs.

If they are main "insert class", it is easier to judge when they know how gear themselves up. We're talking about pickup parties here, everyone have their doubts.

So the point of jobs is party play. Healers heal whoever needs it and DD's damage deal. Now it's different because we have medicine?

THAT's where all this sh*t is happening. Healers don't want to heal dd's and black mage is the easiest job on the planet. Something needs to be changed not only with the game but with the community.

Lol take away the hate meter and see how long BLM's live
