Thread: Class Revision Requests In 2.0

I realize that they are going to be revising some of classes in 2.0 and I probably shouldn't worry about it, but these are a few things that I believe should be addressed specifically. If anyone else has some suggestions please state in the thread along with your reasoning for the request and I'll add it to the OP.

Gladiator:

Parry:
Make parry's available while holding a shield. This will allow Paladins increased damage mitigation and the ability to use the foresight/overpower combo from Marauder so that it is much easier to grab initial hate.

Conjurer:

Repose/Water:
As the 2.0 website states that they are also masters of the water element if your not going to give the spell to Arcanist please make room for it by eliminating Repose. While repose is somewhat useful when soloing, it looses value on white mage and is kinda situational especially when Black Mage has the power to Sleepga.

Thaumaturge

Fire:
Change fire to inflict a DoT rather than making an AoE. I hate that I can't simply cast fire with out having to target a group. Reserve the AoE fire for Fira and up.

Blizzard and Sleep
Make Blizzard and Sleep into cross class skills. I propose blizzard so that every basic elemental skills is available as a cross class skill. Sleep since the elimination of Repose would require some kind of replacement for the solo conjurer. This will also allow for a versatile debuff when considering new jobs such as Red Mage.

I would also like to see the level at which you learn Sleep lowered. Currently you learn it at level 42. 3 levels later at 45 Black Mage, Sleepga is available. This is too small of a gap between tiers of magic.
