Weapon skills for mages!

[Alhanelem]

I think I was just raging after seeing the new battle system they plan on implementing and how they are changing weaponskills and combos. I also don't like that TP regenerates like MP and that you can do a weaponskill right off that bat, at start of a fight. To me, it cheapens the feel of the weaponskill. Plus didn't they already completely revamp the battle system? I mean like actions, combos, weaponskills, and many other aspects....ect BR, enimity..

As far as being resistant to change is concerned, I've played beta, played since around launch, and have played almost everday since then. (besides when servers went down for tsunami =( )I've been one of those rere players that thoroughly enjoyed the game, even given the continuous amount of changes per patch, and have only ever had small gripes about some changes, but I got used to them eventually. I absolutely love the current system and it would be a shame if they destroyed something I feel they did a great job in changing/revamping. There are many older players that have recently came back on my server (since the flood of 2.0 info) that thoroughly enjoy the new battle/combo system....I know it would turn me off of the game, and would ruin my immersion if it was changed to operate like any other throw away f2p mmo.

I really liked the stamina gauge concept and hell, I even liked the original ATB-type system they had in alpha. But I don't miss either of those things any more. It will just take a little time to get used to whatever changes are made, then you'll forget how you felt about the previous setup.

was very good before SE nerfed the Thaumaturge physical attack.

Well, DoM arms used to do magical damage with their attacks (the different brands and wands would do different elements in damage), then they changed them all to be blunt and also nerfed the hell out of it. There was really no reason to destroy that. It's not like it overshadowed spellcasting- I liked it because you had more options than the current 2 combos you ever use setup on BLM.
