Thread: 2.0: New Disciple of Magic or Spell Reform?

Probably the latter. As I always say, enfeebling is a tertiary class aspect, and should never be the raison d'etre of any class or job.

2.0 is an interesting beast because we really don't know how much of the core game that we already know will change. At one point, I expected essentially reworked maps, reworked graphics engine and reworked quests/content. Now, based on interviews, it seems like they're revamping/reworking almost everything.

My hope is that debuffs are spread out between classes that make sense, but to stay away from the nonsensical absolutes that encompasses most of the Final Fantasy spells. If they re-imagine the debuffs in a way that makes sense and just used the names we are familiar with, it would be a big step forward from what we had.
