Removing elemental nukes from WHM

[Altena]

Maybe, in the future, WHM and BLM can both gain Astral/Umbral spells when the number of abilities they can have will be more than five. If I remember correctly, the whole "15 Class skills, 5 'sub job' skills and 5 job skills" thing was only temporary. If that's the case, then I'd definitely be okay with WHM and BLM gaining Astral/Umbral spells.

But, locking WHM out of the elemental spells for their own class, and giving them to a different job for a different class?
No.

The idea of jobs from the horse's mouth (SE being the horse) was that jobs were meant to be more specialised. That being, a class had more flexibility such as solo'ing, dd'ing, healing etc - whereas a Job was more designed for party play, as it lacked that flexibility.

CNJ > WHM - becomes more of a healer
MRD > WAR - becomes more of a tank (loses access to things like invigorate and keen flurry for DD)
LNC > DRG - heavier DD (loses access to better survivability)
ARC > BRD - more supportive (loses some DD capability but gains party buffs)
THM > BLM - heavier DD (with AM's, hate reduction, mp conservation (convert) but loses survivibility)

Currently CNJ>WHM loses practically nothing, but gains some very potent healing (ie main healer).



I am open to Umbral/Astral (or light/dark) in the future but that doesn't fix the imbalance in the elemental chain.
